Which way to point your antenna in Manor

Point your antenna W, at about 264°. The main network towers for Manor sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KTBC, KNVA, KXAN-TV, KEYE-TV and KVUE, transmit from the same tower site about 14 miles west of Manor (261° W). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Manor at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Manor

The farthest main network tower for Manor is KEYE-TV (CBS), 15 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KNVA is only 15 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.
