TROUBLESHOOTING:

Problem: I’m not getting any signals at all.

Possible causes:

1. Analog-only televisions (manufactured before 2007) need a digital converter 

box. You MUST perform a channel scan on the converter box. 
2. A digital TV must be programmed in order to receive digital channels. Refer to 

your TV owner’s manual for instructions. 

     a) Your TV must be set to the proper input source. Press the input button

     on your remote and make sure the input is set to TV.
     b) Select the menu or home button on your remote and set the signal type

     to “Antenna”, “Air”, or “Broadcast”. 
     c) Within the TV’s Setup menu, select “Channel” or “Channel scan” to scan for

     the available channels. 

3. Make sure the antenna is facing the broadcast tower locations serving your 

area. Visit www.antennapoint.com for more information on broadcasters and 

tower locations serving your area. 
4. Outdoor Use: You do not have a clear line of sight to your local broadcast towers.

You might need to elevate and/or move your antenna. Make certain the antenna 

is not aimed into physical obstacles such as a roof, building, or trees.  Remember 

to rescan for channels in every location.

5. You are outside the range of your antenna’s capabilities. 

Depending upon the distance between your home and the local broadcast 

towers, you may need a longer range outdoor/attic antenna. Antennas Direct 

offers many models for this purpose.

7. Indoor Use: 

Building materials such  as brick, metal siding, radiant barrier, or 

stucco can greatly reduce the incoming signal. If in an attic, move the antenna 

outdoors. If outdoors, make certain the antenna is not aimed into physical 

obstacles, such as buildings, trees, or a hill. Remember to rescan every time you 

move your antenna.

Problem: I’m receiving every channel except for one. 

Possible cause:

1. You may need to rescan the TV tuner or converter box.

The channel you are not receiving may have its transmitter lower on the 

broadcast tower, or on a different tower than the other transmitters and your 

line of sight is obstructed. Try elevating the antenna or moving it to another 

location. Repeat as needed.

Problem: I’m having signal breakups, but I’m only two miles from the broadcast 

tower.

Possible cause:

1. Your TV may be receiving interfering signals. 

A larger/stronger antenna will not necessarily solve this problem. Consider 

moving the antenna, making sure it is not placed near metal objects or other 

antennas. If this is not successful, your signal may be too strong and may 

require the use of an attenuator. Call our helpline or chat with us online at 

antennasdirect.com for an analysis of your area and installation. We may be 

able to offer simple solutions. 

6. You may have loose coaxial cable connections. 

Check ALL connections  for a tight fit and check all outdoor connections for 

moisture or corrosion.
