Recommended for Stonecrest

An indoor antenna should work in Stonecrest

Antenna type: Indoor, with VHF reception.

WXIA-TV (NBC, channel 11.1) broadcasts on VHF, so choose an antenna rated for VHF as well as UHF.

WGTV (PBS, channel 8.1) broadcasts on VHF, so choose an antenna rated for VHF as well as UHF.

How to choose an antenna for VHF channels

  • ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS and The CW are all within 15 miles
  • Main network towers are northwest and north of the city, so one fixed aim may miss some

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, WUPA, is 14 miles away.

Splitting the signal to more TVs weakens it at each one. One antenna, several TVs

Where to point your antenna

Aim west-northwest (300°). Rings at 5, 10 and 25 miles from central Stonecrest; dots are Strong-signal towers.

5 mi 10 mi 25 mi N E S W Main towers WXIA-TV +2 WGTV WDNV-LD +9
  • WXIA-TV, WAGA-TV, WSB-TV and WPCH-TV and 19 other stations: 12 to 14 miles west-northwest
  • WGTV and 1 other station: 9 to 17 miles north
  • WTHC-LD: 24 miles southwest

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 Stonecrest

NextGen TV (ATSC 3.0) is on the air in Stonecrest, broadcast from WANF, WPCH-TV and WSB-TV. 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).
