It is suggested that you use a roof top aerial when scanning for TV channels

Please note the included portable antenna may only be used in areas where
signal is very strong. There may be difficulties in receiving signal with the
portable antenna in some regions at present, this is due to the fact that
Freeview (www.freeview.co.uk) is yet to operate in full power in the UK. The
government aims to achieve a full switchover by 2012, which will occur in
stages, region by region between 2008 and 2012, at present the quality of
Freeview reception varies in different regions across the UK.
As mentioned on the Freeview website, only 73% of the UK population is
able to receive Freeview at present and only a small number of households
might be able to use a set top aerial at present. This only applies if you live in
an area with coverage close to a transmitter, but reception would still be
unreliable and they strongly recommend that you use a roof top aerial for
good reception.
The reception will be improving along with the progress of the Digital
Switchover Program. Reception may also be affected by various factors such
as how close you are to transmitters, tall buildings, thick walls, ceilings and
weather etc.
For any further queries, please telephone August International Ltd helpline

Please note:
Customer Service:
A LCD display panel comprises a very large number of pixels and each pixel
contains three sub-pixels - red, green and blue. Due to the complex
manufacturing process, occasional pixel anomalies may occur. Pixel anomalies
cannot be fixed or repaired and can happen at any stage in the LCD's life.
August product should not be deemed as faulty if there are no more than three
bright and dark pixels respectively.
Portable TV antennas included in the box are for people to watch Freeview TV
in areas where the signal is strong and there may be difficulty to receive
Freeview TV signal by the included portable antennas in some areas where the
signal is not sufficiently strong. This is due to that the Freeview service in the
UK is yet fully operating. August TVs should not be deemed as faulty if it can
receive Freeview by connected to a proper rooftop aerial.
