Eight network stations, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT, KDTX-TV, KAZD and KDFW and others, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles south of Coppell (174° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Coppell

The farthest main network tower for Coppell is KTVT (CBS), 29 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.

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.
