Which way to point your antenna in Lantana

Point your antenna SSE, at about 166°. The main network towers for Lantana sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Eight network stations, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT, KDTX-TV, KDFW and WFAA and others, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles south of Lantana (166° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lantana at fair strength or better, 91% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lantana

The farthest main network tower for Lantana is KTVT (CBS), 39 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.
