Check your TV’stype.
The antenna is required to be connected to a DVB-T/ATSC
(Advanced Television Systems Committee) decoder TV antenna
receiving port instead of the antenna IN or other cable IN port on
the back of the TV. Most of the HDTVs produced after 2016
have built-in DVB-T/ATSC and can receive ATSC digital TV
signals. If your TV was purchased earlier, but has a digital TV
interface, you will need to check with your TV manufacturer's
customer service to see if it really supports DVB-T/ATSC. If not,
you will need to purchase a digital converter box to connect the
antenna.
How many channels can I receive?
The received signal will vary depending on geographic location
and location of the lightwave signal, antennas, hills, buildings,
etc. Even tall trees can affect reception. Currently, the receiving
channel is different in each place. You can check the channel
you can receive by visiting dtv.gov/maps or tvfool.com
Place the antenna in a window facing the direction of the TV
broadcast tower. Height and direction of the antenna can affect
reception strength.
Note: Buy a longer coaxial cable if your TV doesn't have enough
space for an antenna behind it.
Note: If your antenna has an amplifier, directly
connect the TV firstly. If reception is not good, please
connect the amplifier to improve reception and rescan
for channels.
After connecting the antenna to the TV, use the TV remote
control to scan for channels.
Here are generic steps to run a channel scan:
1.
Run the "Scan" function on your TV by pressing the Menu
button on the remote control and find "Scan" or "Setup."
•
Make sure the TV is set to "Air" or "Antenna" instead of "Cable."
2.
Below is a basic channel scan menu for your reference. Please
remember that different televisions have different setup
processes.
3.
You will receive digital signals through the antenna once the
scan is complete
•
Consult your TV's manual or ask the manufacturer if you do
not know how to access the channel scan function.
Note: Please remember to rescan the channel periodically as
you may encounter some new channels that cannot be
received during cloudy or inclement weather. This will help you
get more channels.
