Over-the-air TV in Dublin

With roughly 2,170 residents, Dublin is a small community in Pennsylvania. Our map shows 86 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 44 full-power, 11 Class A, 25 low-power and 6 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 42 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 17 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 27 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 53 farther out. Six of the 24 network stations in range are licensed to New York, NY, so most of the network channels you will find here come from New York's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 16 (WNEP-TV), CBS on channel 3 (KYW-TV), NBC on channel 10 (WCAU), Fox on channel 29 (WTXF-TV), CW on channel 17 (WPHL-TV), ION on channel 61 (WPPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 62 (WWSI), Univision on channel 65 (WUVP-DT) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 21 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Dublin

Point your antenna S, at about 185°. The main network towers for Dublin sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, KYW-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles south of Dublin (185° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dublin at fair strength or better, 53% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Dublin, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Dublin

The farthest main network tower for Dublin is WTXF-TV (Fox), 23 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 66 miles northwest, 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.

Setting up an antenna in Dublin: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 185° S, the direction of WTXF-TV (Fox), 23 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 42 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
