Tips for Digital Reception

 

•  Is the antenna sitting on a metal surface (like a metal 

stand)?  

Move it to a non-metal surface (metal interferes with 

reception). Then, re-scan for channels (see step 2).

•  Try the antenna in a different position.  

Most of the time, the antenna works best lying down. 

But depending on your reception environment, it 

might work best for you standing or hanging on the 

wall. When you’ve found the best position, re-scan for 

channels (see step 2).

•  Move the antenna close to a window.  

Some construction materials (such as aluminum siding) 

make it more difficult to get good reception. Re-scan for 

channels when you’re finished (see step 2).

•  Position the antenna as high as possible.  

Most of the time, this increases your chances of 

reception. And this antenna is easy to mount to the 

wall (see the Owners Manual for instructions). Re-scan 

for channels when you’re finished (see step 2).

•  Do you live over 25 miles from the TV’s broadcast 

tower? Do you live in an area with a lot of hills? 

Your reception environment might require an RCA 

Outdoor Antenna for best reception. Long distances 

and hilly terrain make TV reception more difficult.  

IMPORTANT: Any time you change the antenna’s 

position, make sure you re-scan for channels on your TV 

or digital TV converter box. The channels you receive 

may have changed.

Connect the antenna to your digital 

converter box or digital-ready TV.

 You need either a digital TV converter 

box or a TV with a digital tuner to receive digital

Important:

 Some TVs have separate antenna inputs 

for analog and digital signals. If you’re connecting
