Antenna and amplifier advice for Lakehills

The farthest main network tower for Lakehills is KSAT-TV (ABC), 47 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

KMYS is only 3.0 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
