Start TV antenna questions

Is Start TV free with an antenna?

Yes. Start TV is broadcast free over the air on a subchannel of a local station, so a TV antenna picks it up with no subscription. Run a channel scan and it appears with the station's other channels.

Why can't I find Start TV after a channel scan?

First check that your city is listed on this page and that the station's signal is rated Strong or Moderate. Stations sometimes move networks between subchannels, so rescan your TV if the channel goes missing. The channels here are from data as of November 6, 2026.

Do I need a special antenna for Start TV?

In some cities, yes. KSTW carries Start TV and broadcasts on VHF, which many flat indoor antennas pick up poorly. Choose an antenna rated for VHF as well as UHF.
