What does WCVW-DT give you that you can't get on WCVE-DT?

WCVW-DT, virtual channel 57.1, real channel 44, is at 84 degrees magnetic. It is the real channel number that determines what antenna is needed.

If you only need it and the other Richmond channels above it, then you will need a high gain UHF antenna like the 91XG, and a preamp. If you also need WWBT NBC on real channel 12, then you will need a UHF/VHF-high antenna like the Winegard HD7698P.

Your channels are 2Edge signals, which means that the terrain between the transmitters and your location will interfere with the signals, making them less reliable.

Are there any trees or buildings in the way if your antenna is aimed toward Richmond?

Where will your antenna be mounted? How high off the ground?

How many TVs ?
