Antenna and amplifier advice for Shavano Park

The farthest main network tower for Shavano Park is KSAT-TV (ABC), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KXAN-TV (NBC), 68 miles northeast, 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.

KNIC-DT is only 8.1 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.
