All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Milford, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Milford is WFXT (Fox), 19 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
