KPVI-DT (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Lewiston. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Lewiston
The farthest main network tower for Lewiston is KPVI-DT (NBC), 70 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
