Over-the-air TV in Manor

Manor is a town of about 3,300 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 35 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 10 Class A, 4 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 18 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 8 farther out. Six of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 4 (WTAE-TV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), Fox on channel 53 (WPGH-TV), CW on channel 22 (WPNT) and ION on channel 16 (WINP-TV). 5 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 Manor

The main network towers around Manor are in different directions: ABC 242° WSW (7.9 mi), CBS 301° WNW (21 mi), NBC 297° WNW (20 mi) and Fox 302° WNW (21 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPGH-TV, WPNT and KDKA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles northwest of Manor (302° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Manor at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Manor

The farthest main network tower for Manor is KDKA-TV (CBS), 21 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WPCB-TV is only 7.1 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.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 301° WNW, the direction of KDKA-TV (CBS), 21 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).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
