Antenna 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 antenna in a higher location may result in better reception.
2.
Placing the antenna facing the broadcast tower may result in better reception.
3.
Placing the antenna close to or on a window may also result in better reception.
Important:
Always re-scan for channels whenever you move your antenna.
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://dtv.gov/maps
. Enter your address for a listing of likely channels available in
your area.
Do I need to use an External Amplifier?
The 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 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 ATSC tuner. When connecting the antenna to a third-party receiver, make sure it
is capable of receiving HD. Otherwise no HD channels can be picked up.
