Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions.
Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB. For your
safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected / installed by a licenced
installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.
Note: If you live within 5-10 Km of DVB transmission towers, a
combined VHF / UHF aerial should be adequate. Outside this area,
separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception performance.
If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna
TV (MATV) system is designed for analogue and DVB-T reception.

installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.
Interference (known as impulse noise) from household appliances
such as light switches, fridges etc may cause picture break up and /
or audio distortion. Use high quality quad shielded coaxial cable fl y
lead between TV and antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise
pickup. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.
When “No Signal” message is displayed check TV aerial connection.
The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV to reliably
lock to the desired “No Signal” programme to generate a stable
picture. Repeat the tuning procedure (p. 31). If problem persists
consult your local TV aerial installer.
