Antenna and amplifier advice for Englewood
The farthest main network tower for Englewood is WNYW (Fox), 13 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WNYE-TV is only 9.5 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
