Over-the-air TV in Red Hill

Red Hill is a small community of about 2,380 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 52 licensed TV transmitters: 28 full-power, 8 Class A, 11 low-power and 5 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 33 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 24 between 25 and 45 miles, and 22 farther 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.

The strongest network signals here 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 Red Hill

Point your antenna SSE, at about 151°. The main network towers for Red Hill 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 26 miles southeast of Red Hill (151° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Red Hill 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 Red Hill, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Red Hill

The farthest main network tower for Red Hill is WTXF-TV (Fox), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 60 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 Red Hill: 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), 26 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 33 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.
