Connecting a TV Aerial
TV antenna hints
Always use a high quality digital ready outdoor VHF/UHF antenna.
It is not advisable to use indoor or window mounted aerials, except in areas close to digital
TV transmitters, as digital channels will be difficult or even impossible to receive.
Many older aerials may only receive a limited number of channels. As a result, digital
channels transmitted on other channels are difficult or even impossible to receive. The
problem can be solved by replacing the antenna with a high quality digital ready antenna.
Some outdoor aerials are directed towards an analogue transmitter. The aerial must be
directed towards a digital TV transmitter.
It is not always advisable to position the aerial as high as possible. If problems arise,
experiment with different aerial heights.
For best results use good quality double or quad screened coax leads, and high quality
connectors throughout the TV antenna system.

your Set Top Box. Shown below are the most common methods normally used. If you have
problemswith your connections and need help, contact your retailer.
