Which way to point your antenna in Seabrook
Point your antenna SSW, at about 204°. The main network towers for Seabrook sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Six network stations, WLVI, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU and WCVB-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles southwest of Seabrook (204° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Seabrook at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Seabrook, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Seabrook
The farthest main network tower for Seabrook is WFXT (Fox), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WCSH (NBC), 67 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.
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.
