Antenna and amplifier advice for Taylorsville
The farthest main network tower for Taylorsville is KSTU (Fox), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
KUCW is only 14 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.
