Congratulations! your Terrestrial Digital antenna will provide the
best possible HD picture quality (Yes, even better than cable or
satellite). Here are a few simple tips to make the installation
as simple as possible and optimize the performance of your new
antenna.
Your new antenna will provide the local/over the air (OTA) Digital
TV stations. This antenna will not provide cable channels. There are currently 3 ways to decode your local DTV sta-
tions utilizing the antenna:
1. An HDTV with a built in digital tuner. Most TVs sold after 2007 will have these built in.
2. An over the air digital tuner. If the owner’s manual does not specifically state a digital tuner is included, you
will need a set top box (ATSC tuner).
3. An HD satellite tuner. Dish Network and DirecTV offer HD receivers with over the air digital tuners built.
Please note that that once the antenna is mounted and plugged into the appropriate source on your Digital
TV (DTV) or Digital Tuner, you will need to perform a channel scan. If the antenna is moved, the channel scan
must be performed again.
Installation Tips
1. Once the antenna is mounted and the cable is connected , run the cable to your digital tuner, HD satellite
receiver or digital TV (The shorter the better)
2. Perform the channel scan. (Please consult your TV manual for instructions.)
Note: With digital television, it’s an “all or nothing” proposition. On a digital channel you will never see “snow” or
“fuzz” If you see “snow” then you are tuned to an analogue broadcast. Once a digital signal is acquired, it will be per-
fect. If that signal is interrupted, it will be blank.
In areas with buildings or reflective surfaces,
multi-path interference (reflected signals) can
