Which way to point your antenna in Shiloh
Point your antenna SSW, at about 191°. The main network towers for Shiloh sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Five network stations, WHIO-TV, WKEF, WDTN, WKOI-TV and WBDT, transmit from the same tower site about 6.0 miles south of Shiloh (190° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Shiloh at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Shiloh, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Shiloh
The farthest main network tower for Shiloh is WDTN (NBC), 7.0 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WXIX-TV (Fox), 51 miles south, 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.
WHIO-TV is only 6.0 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.
