Watch Free HDTV in Jacksonville, Florida

The Best choice for free digital - HDTV -TV Antenna reception for the Jackson area is the EZ-HD or the HD Stacker antennas.

Here's why:

The Jacksonville free to air TV market is a good one. There are dozens of free channels available. All of the major network channels are available (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW, ION) plus independent channels and dozens of sub channels to numerous to mention.

There are 3 major channels in Jacksonville broadcasting a VHF TV signals.
This is important because most antennas available today are designed for UHF signals and perform poorly for the reception of VHF signals. The major VHF channels are PBS 7, ABC 25 and NBC 12. In addition these channels provide about a dozen sub channels all VHF signals.

Be aware that most antennas on the market today claim to be VHF capable when in fact they're not.

Just because I say it, Doesn't make it true.
If you're in doubt I suggest you contact the station engineer at any of the above stations to verify the information on this page.  

For more information about VHF TV reception I suggest the following pages.

The Jacksonville TV station reception map below is compiled from hundreds of actual customer reports using either the EZ HD or the HD Stacker antennas. If the antenna location is inside of the Green circle use the EZ HD antenna. If the antenna location is outside of the Green circle within the Blue circle use the HD Stacker antenna. TV reception from Jacksonville TV stations outside of the Blue circle is possible but is hit and miss no matter what antenna is used for reception. Both the EZ HD and the HD Stacker antennas have been physically fine tuned for optimum reception of the Jacksonville area TV stations digital TV signal frequencies.

The EZ HD and the HD Stacker antennas are physically tuned to receive the specific TV signal frequencies in use by the Jacksonville TV stations. Inch for inch both antennas will outperform any other antenna on the market.

Note: Some Jacksonville area residents have reported problems receiving WTLV 12.1 NBC, WJXX 25.1 ABC and WJCT 7.1 PBS when using antennas other than the EZ HD or the HD Stacker. This is due to the VHF broadcast signal frequencies in use by these stations and the use of the improper antenna to receive VHF signal frequency. Many of today's antennas (do to smaller antenna size) will not receive VHF signals. The EZ HD and the HD Stacker are designed to provide excellent performance across the entire VHF/UHF frequency spectrum in use in the Jacksonville free to air broadcasting market.

Antenna Aiming - From the antenna installation site aim the narrower end of of the antenna at the Red 

The Jacksonville TV station reception map above is based on the use of the EZ HD and HD Stacker TV antennas installed in an outdoor location at an elevation of 20 feet above ground using proper signal amplification when required. Antennas located indoors such as attics etc. or if improper signal amplification is in use will likely experience reduced reception range. Antennas installed at an elevation greater then 20 feet above ground will likely experience increased reception range and antennas installed less then 20 feet above ground will likely experience reduced reception range. The closer the antenna installation site is to the transmitters (star) the lower the antenna can be installed to the ground.
