2. Mount the Aerial
Find a convenient indoor/outdoor location to mount your aerial, then set up the channels using the
following "Scan the TV for Channels" steps below.
Note:
Test your aerial location after scanning for channels and before final mounting with the
included mounting accessories. In some instances, you may decide to relocate the aerial for better
reception. See “Aerial Placement Options and Tips” below.
3. Scan the TV for Channels
A.
In the TV’s setup menu, set the mode to Aerial or Air. Refer to the TV manual for detailed
instructions.
B.
While in the TV’s setup menu, set TV to scan for channels. This can sometimes be listed as
auto-program, channel search or channel scan. Consult your TV manual for detailed instructions.
Aerial Placement Options and Tips
TV reception and quality depends on the distance from the transmitting tower to your home.
Surrounding environments may also affect signal strength and reception.
If your reception is sporadic or needs to be improved, try the helpful tips below:
1.
Placing the aerial in a higher location may result in better reception.
2.
Facing the aerial towards the broadcast tower may result in better reception.
3.
Placing the aerial indoors close to a window or outdoors with no obstructions may also result in
better reception.
Important:
Always re-scan for channels whenever you move your aerial.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels can I receive?
The number of channels you can receive will be determined by what is being broadcast in your area.
Channel reception will vary from location to location based on terrain (including trees, buildings,
hills and mountains). The fewer obstructions, the better your chance of receiving strong digital
signals. Go to
http://www.digitaluk.co.uk
. Enter your address for a listing of likely channels
available in your area.
Do I need to use an External Amplifier?
An amplifier can enhance signals weakened by obstructions between you and the broadcast towers.
If your TV picture is not crystal clear, or you are unable get strong signals from distant towers, you
can use the amplifier to boost the weakened signals.
Note:
We do NOT recommend using the amplifier if your house is very close to the broadcast tower
and the signal is already very strong. A booster will cause self-oscillation and you may actually end
up getting fewer signals than without it.
Will the picture be better than cable?
All cable companies compress their signals. The result is that a degraded signal is usually inferior to
DVB-T broadcasts. There are many factors that can affact your picture quality. However, your picture
quality will be greatly improved by using your 1byone@ DVB-T compatible digital aerial.
Can I connect the aerial to multiple televisions?
The aerial's signal should only be split between multiple TVs if the aerial comes with an included
amplifier.

Troubleshooting
The aerial isn't receiving any signals.
1.
Check to make sure you have correctly connected the aerial to your TV or third-party receiver.
See the Setup Guide under, “Connect the Aerial on the Back of Your TV” in this manual.
2.
Re-Scan for Channels. See the Setup Guide under, "Scan the TV for Channels" in this manual.
3.
Reposition the aerial in a different location.
Facing the direction of the broadcast tower is usually best. Signal strength will vary based
on certain conditions. Distance from the tower, hills, buildings and even tall trees can impact
reception. Always re-scan for channels after moving the aerial.
One channel is missing.
1.
Something may be obstructing the signal. Move the aerial, then re-scan for channels.
2.
Try turning the aerial 10 or 20 degrees in either direction to avoid reflection. Then re-scan for
channels.
The picture or sound freezes while I am watching a channel, or there are boxes in the picture.
1.
This is often caused by a weak or intermittent signal. Try moving the aerial to a different location or
aiming it in the direction of the broadcast tower for that channel.
For Optimal Performance
Place your 1byone® aerial in the location with the strongest reception. It is best to place the aerial in line
of sight with the TV tower(s) and avoid obstructions. A television signal can become weak or intermittent
by trying to pass through walls that are exceptionally thick or contain large amounts of metal. Your
1byone® aerial can usually pick up the stronger signals from almost any direction. Experiment with
different walls and even different rooms to find the best location to mount your aerial. To check the exact
distance from your residence to the nearest tower, go to
http://www.digitaluk.co.uk
and type in your
postal code. You will then have a better idea of what you should expect in the way of reception. If there
are multiple tower locations, optimize the position of your aerial by pointing it in the direction of the
weakest signal (usually the farthest away from you).
