Antenna and amplifier advice for Whitehouse

The farthest main network tower for Whitehouse is KLTV (ABC), 22 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KETK-TV is only 13 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.
