Antenna and amplifier advice for Paloma Creek South

The farthest main network tower for Paloma Creek South is KDFW (Fox), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KTVT (CBS), 46 miles south, 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.
