Poor reception
If the TV picture is distorted or variable in quality, the
input signal might be poor. A weak digital signal is
seen as a picture that is breaking up in square blocks
and freezes occasionally. Much sooner than a bad
analogue signal, a bad digital signal will fall away.
• Check if the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Large loudspeakers, unearthed audio devices, neon
lights, high buildings and other large objects can
influence reception quality when you are using an
antenna. Try to improve the reception by changing
the antenna direction or moving devices away from
the TV. Bad weather might deteriorate the reception.
• Check if all connections, to and from your devices,
are properly connected.
• If reception on only one channel is poor, fine-tune
this channel with
Analogue: manual installation

for analogue channels)
