Troubleshooting – digital TV (ATSC) channels not found:

 

If you are using an antenna configuration (Option 1) and  
Pinnacle TVCenter Pro does not find any digital TV (ATSC) channels, 
please read the following:

 

 

Check on 

http://www.antennaweb.org

 whether ATSC reception 

should be possible in your region and which kind of antenna will 
likely be required at your location.

 

 

Try to improve the signal reception by repositioning or changing 
the antenna (see II: Option 1).

 

 

After having finished the Pinnacle TVCenter Pro Setup wizard, 
repeat the channel scan. To do so, double-click the Pinnacle 
TVCenter Pro Settings icon on your desktop and then go to
