A typical home gets about 85 free channels from 36 stations, some from neighbouring markets.
Estimates from our terrain predictions for an antenna about 30 ft up, adjusted for indoor use. They are not yet checked against real channel scans; VHF channels never count as indoor. How we work it out

The best TV antenna for Fresno-Visalia
Get an antenna rated for both VHF and UHF. Across most of the area an indoor antenna is likely enough (about 73% of people, by our estimate); farther out, use an attic or roof antenna.
- 13 channels reach ordinary TVs only on VHF (KAIL, KEDZ, KGMC), and many flat indoor antennas are weak on VHF.
- The towers are spread out, so a wide-beam (multi-directional) antenna is safer than a narrow directional one.
Not sure about VHF Lower frequencies (RF 2–13). Needs an antenna with longer elements; many flat indoor antennas are weak here. More in the glossary and UHF Higher frequencies (RF 14–36). Most stations are here; almost any antenna picks it up. More in the glossary ? See the glossary. Any brand of the right type will do.
