Antenna
Installation
and Orientation
Yag_
In many areas, an indoorantenna can be used to received DTV signals. Certain conditions,
however, may create a situation where an outdoor antenna is required, Tall buildings, large
metal objects (e.g., a water tower) or hills may block the line-of-sight to the TV station and
interfere with DTV signal reception. Keep the following in mind when installing and orienting
your outdoor antenna. For additional information about antennas, see the Consumer
Electronics Manufacturing Association (CEMA) website at www.cemacity.org or ask your
local dealer.

Choose an antenna with directional receiving characteristics such as a Yagi, log periodic, or
reflector antenna. Avoid loop, wire bowtie, rabbit-ear and omni-directional
antennas.
Use good grade 75 Ohm coax (round) cable to connect the antenna to the STB. Do not use
300 Ohm flat twin-lead cable.
Place the antenna away from large metal objects.
If using an indoor antenna, remember
that aluminum
siding and foil-covered
insulation can greatly reduce the signal strength
inside your house.
Point the antenna in the direction of the TV station.
Allow a 4-6 second delay in tuning.
Watch for a program to appear on the TV. If the signal indicator is "NOT FOUND" or if a
program comes and goes, try a slightly different position for the antenna.
Slowly raising or
lowering the antenna by a few feet may help.
Avoid standing in front of the antenna while adjusting its position.
Move a few feet to the
rear to avoid changing the signal characteristics.
If you are located in an area serviced by two (2) different DTV stations in different directions,
you may need an antenna rotator to receive signals from both stations.
