I purchased an indoor or outdoor HD antenna, but how do I know which
direction to face the antenna to?
Visit the website URL
http://www.antennaweb.org
to obtain directions on
where your digital antenna should point.
There is also an option to bring up your location map that will have a drawing
showing the directions and what channels are available in that direction, use a
compass and this map to align your antenna for the best signal reception.

I still have my old antenna on the roof. Can I use it to pick up ATSC
channels?
You should be able to; ATSC uses the same frequencies as analog NTSC TV
with an antenna. You may need to adjust your roof antenna and refer to
http://www.antennaweb.org
for map orientation of your local ATSC stations.

How can I increase my signal strength?
In some cases a signal amplifier can be paired with the antenna to increase
signal strength.
8
Can I add a splitter to split the cable?
If you need to split the signal, use an HDTV-compliant splitter of at least 5 -
1100Mhz. Make sure that you are not getting a combiner. Though combiners
and splitters look very similar, if not identical, a combiner will not properly split
the signal.

Why can't I receive all of the channels in the MCE TV guide?
You might not be able to receive all channels broadcasted in your area if the
antenna does not receive the appropriate range of signal on the MHz scale for
digital TV channels, is located near any tall buildings or hills that obstruct the
line of sight to the broadcasting antenna, or if you are to far away from the
broadcasting signal.
