Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels can I receive?
The number of channels you can receive will be determined by what is broadcasting in
your area. Channel reception will vary from location to location based on terrain
(including trees, buildings, hills and mountains). The fewer obstructions, the better
your chance of receiving strong digital signals. Go to https://www.fcc.gov/general/
digital-television and find DTV Reception Maps, enter your address for a listing of likely
channels available in your area.
Will all the channels receive be High Definition (HD)?
Not all digital signals are High Definition (HD). Make sure you are using a High Definition
Television (HDTV) with built in ATSC tuner. When connecting the antenna to a third-
party receiver (set-top box), make sure it is capable of receiving HD. Otherwise no HD
channels can be viewed.
Will picture quality be better than with cable?
All cable companies compress their HD signals. The result is a degraded signal that is
usually inferior to ATSC broadcast. Many factors determine whether your picture
quality
will be better in every instance.
Can I connect the antenna to multiple televisions?
Yes. However, the signal should only be split between multiple HDTVs if using an
amplified antenna.
Signal reception and quality depends on the distance from the broadcast tower to your
home. Surrounding geography and environment may also affect signal strength and
reception.
If your reception is sporadic or needs to be improved, try the helpful tips below:
1.Place the antenna in a higher location. If 32ft Coaxial Cable is shorter than desired distance
between the antenna and TV set, please extend Your TV Antenna Cable after the Amplifier
with Gain Control.
Note: Coaxial Cable (25 or 50 Feet) with Coaxial Coupler are sold separately.
