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

Do I need to use an External Amplifier?
No, this aerial already has a built-in amplifier within the aerial, so customers don’t need to use an
external amplifier.
Note:
Customers need to use the power adapter when using this antenna, for the built-in amplifier
need power to work properly.
Will all the channels I receive be High Definition (HD)?
Not all digital signals are High Definition (HD). Make sure you are using a High Definition Television
(HDTV) with built in DVB-T tuner. When connecting the aerial to a third-party receiver, make sure it is
capable of receiving HD. Otherwise no HD channels can be picked up.
