Antenna and amplifier advice for Greenbrier

The farthest main network tower for Greenbrier is WKRN-TV (ABC), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WNPX-TV is only 9.5 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.
