With roughly 6,240 residents, Burnet is a town in Texas. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 33 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 9 Class A and 10 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

2 of them are within 25 miles of Burnet, 19 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Austin, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Austin's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 24 (KVUE), CBS on channel 42 (KEYE-TV), NBC on channel 36 (KXAN-TV), Fox on channel 7 (KTBC), CW on channel 54 (KNVA), ION on channel 17.5 (KVAT-LD) and Univision on channel 62 (KAKW-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (good signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SE, at about 140°. The main network towers for Burnet sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KNVA, KXAN-TV, KEYE-TV, KVUE and KTBC, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles southeast of Burnet (139° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Burnet at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Burnet is KTBC (Fox), 40 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
