Which way to point your antenna in Poth

Point your antenna NW, at about 322°. The main network towers for Poth sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KSAT-TV, KENS, WOAI-TV, KWEX-DT and KHCE-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles northwest of Poth (322° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Poth at fair strength or better, 89% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Poth

The farthest main network tower for Poth is KABB (Fox), 19 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor 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.

  2. Point it toward 323° NW, the direction of KABB (Fox), 19 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 14 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
