Over-the-air TV in East Greenville

With roughly 2,990 residents, East Greenville is a town in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 51 licensed TV transmitters: 28 full-power, 8 Class A, 10 low-power and 5 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 30 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

6 of them are within 25 miles of East Greenville, 24 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 21 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia'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). 13 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 East Greenville

Point your antenna SSE, at about 151°. The main network towers for East Greenville 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 29 miles southeast of East Greenville (151° SSE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach East Greenville at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for East Greenville

The farthest main network tower for East Greenville is WTXF-TV (Fox), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 57 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.

Setting up an antenna in East Greenville: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 151° SSE, the direction of WTXF-TV (Fox), 29 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 30 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.
