Which way to point your antenna in Eden
Point your antenna NW, at about 310°. The main network towers for Eden sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
KSAN-TV (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Eden. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Eden
The farthest main network tower for Eden is KSAN-TV (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KIDY (Fox), 47 miles northwest, 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.

- Point it toward 309° NW, the direction of KSAN-TV (NBC), 45 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
