Antenna and amplifier advice for Valley Hill
The farthest main network tower for Valley Hill is WLOS (ABC), 18 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
WHNS is only 14 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.
