Which way to point your antenna in Kyle
Point your antenna N, at about 11°. The main network towers for Kyle sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Five network stations, KTBC, KEYE-TV, KVUE, KNVA and KXAN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles north of Kyle (13° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kyle at fair strength or better, 54% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Kyle, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Kyle
The farthest main network tower for Kyle is KXAN-TV (NBC), 24 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
KABB (Fox), 54 miles southwest, 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.
