Troubleshooting
No picture:
Check all connections from aerial to TV.
Poor picture:
Check all the connections from aerial to TV.
Check aerial is properly aligned to the correct transmitter.
If the aerial has been loft mounted try mounting outside.
Make sure new digital coax cable has been used throughout
the installation.
Check the transmitter signal is not obstructed by nearby trees or
buildings.
If in a very weak signal area or for long cable runs,
installing a masthead amplifier will improve the signal.
If in a strong signal area the signal strength may need to be
reduced by fitting an attenuator.

Installation
For best results the aerial should be mounted on an outdoor aerial
mast and pointed in the direction of the nearest transmitter*
making sure it is in a position where the transmitter signal
will not be obstructed by nearby trees and buildings.
If you are in any doubt about the direction in which the aerial
should be pointing or the orientation of the aerial (horizontal
for main transmitter, vertical for relay transmitter) check your
neighbours’ aerials.
