Lost a channel?

Rescan in 3 steps
- Open your TV's settings.
- Find the channel, broadcast or antenna section.
- Run "auto scan" or "channel scan" with the input set to Antenna or Air.
Menu names vary by brand: see antenna setup by TV brand and when and how to rescan.
Is the station hard to receive here?
KGRF-LD (RF channel 21), K06QW-D (RF channel 6), K14NA-D (RF channel 14), plus 5 more, are weak in Chandler; they may come and go. If a weak station is the one you're missing, these steps can help.
Still missing a channel? Our antenna troubleshooter walks through no channels, breakups, channels that come and go and NextGen channels that won't play, and can check any Chandler station for you.
Recommended for Chandler
An indoor antenna should work in Chandler
Antenna type: Indoor, with VHF reception.
KAET (PBS, channel 8.1) broadcasts on VHF, so choose an antenna rated for VHF as well as UHF.
- ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS and The CW are all within 13 miles
- The main towers sit west, so one aim works
Do you need an amplifier?
You likely don't need an amplifier. The towers are close, and a strong signal plus an amplifier can overload your TV's tuner. The farthest main network station, KPNX, is 13 miles away.
Splitting the signal to more TVs weakens it at each one. One antenna, several TVs
Compare indoor, attic and outdoor antenna types. Older TV without a digital tuner? See converter boxes.

Spanish-language channels in Chandler
Canales en español
7 Spanish-language channels reach Chandler at a Strong or Moderate signal. They come with the same antenna after a channel scan.
Where to point your antenna
Aim west-northwest (284°). Rings at 5, 10 and 25 miles from central Chandler; dots are Strong-signal towers.
- KPHO-TV, KAZT-CD, KNXV-TV and KUTP and 20 other stations: 13 miles west-northwest
- KGRQ-LD: 22 miles south-southeast
Placement and interference tips
- Place the antenna on a west-northwest-facing window or wall. Higher is better.
- LED bulbs, especially older or cheaper ones, can interfere. If reception gets worse when the lights are on, that's the cause.
- Living near a cell tower? An LTE filter can block the interference.
- Trees and hills block signals (Cord Cutters News covers these and the LED and cell tower problems), and so do metal roofs and foil radiant barriers in attics (Solid Signal). Move the antenna away from them if you can.

NextGen TV in Chandler
NextGen TV (ATSC 3.0) is on the air in Chandler, broadcast from KASW, KFPH-CD, KGRX-LD, KNXV-TV, KPHO-TV, KPNX and KTVK. Any antenna receives it.
- Your current TV keeps working. Today's broadcasts continue alongside NextGen TV: full-power stations that switch must keep simulcasting their main channel in today's format (CommLawCenter).
- You need an ATSC 3.0 tuner to watch it. That means a TV or tuner box with one built in. Most TVs don't have one (PCWorld).
- Some channels are encrypted. Some broadcasters encrypt their NextGen TV channels, and some tuners and DVRs can't play encrypted channels yet. HDHomeRun devices are one example (Antenna Land). Check before you buy, especially a DVR.
- No shutoff date yet. Broadcasters have asked the FCC to end today's broadcasts in large markets around 2028 and everywhere around 2030. The FCC hasn't set a date (PCWorld).
