Which way to point your antenna in Inwood

Point your antenna ESE, at about 118°. The main network towers for Inwood sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

11 network stations, WTTG, WPXW-TV, WJLA-TV, WHUT-TV and WUSA and others, transmit from the same tower site about 57 miles southeast of Inwood (118° ESE). 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 Inwood at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

WJLA-TV (ABC), WUSA (CBS), WRC-TV (NBC), WTTG (Fox) and WETA-TV (PBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Inwood. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Inwood

The farthest main network tower for Inwood is WRC-TV (NBC), 59 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

Point it toward 119° ESE, the direction of WRC-TV (NBC), 59 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
