Our map shows 53 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 31 full-power, 8 Class A, 11 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 24 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 13 between 25 and 45 miles, and 37 farther out. Five of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Baltimore, MD, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Baltimore's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Landisville

The main network towers around Landisville are in different directions: ABC 194° SSW (54 mi), CBS 93° E (62 mi), NBC 249° WSW (12 mi) and Fox 194° SSW (54 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPMT, WXBU and WHP-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles northwest of Landisville (306° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Landisville at fair strength or better, 41% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

WMAR-TV (ABC) and KYW-TV (CBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Landisville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Landisville

The farthest main network tower for Landisville is KYW-TV (CBS), 62 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Landisville: step by step

  1. Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
  2. Point it toward 93° E, the direction of KYW-TV (CBS), 62 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 24 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.
