Which way to point your antenna in Tylertown

Point your antenna ESE, at about 113°. The main network towers for Tylertown sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WLOX and WXXV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles southeast of Tylertown (113° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Tylertown at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WLOX (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Tylertown. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Tylertown

The farthest main network tower for Tylertown is WLOX (ABC), 68 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

  2. Point it toward 113° ESE, the direction of WLOX (ABC), 68 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
