WFAA (ABC), KAUZ-TV (CBS), KXAS-TV (NBC) and KDFW (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Alvord. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Alvord is KXAS-TV (NBC), 68 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
