Product Features:
Free Local TV! The number of channels received will vary
from location to location. Generally, the closer you live to
a metropolitan area, the more channels will be available.
This antenna can receive programming from major local
broadcast networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, NBC, PBS) plus
many additional networks (CW, Qubo, ION, MyTV,
Univision and more).
Tip: Visit http://dtv.gov/maps to get a list of likely
channels in your area.
Reversible. Have light or dark walls? Don’t worry about it
with our reversible antenna. One side is white, and the
other is black… so no matter what your wall color is now
(or in the future), your antenna will always look great on
it.

Powerful. This antenna has been thoroughly tested in the
uneven and wooded rural areas of Pennsylvania and
beyond. NoCable includes a powerful and detachable
amplifier (plug or USB) that will allow you to pull in TV
broadcast signals (from CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, CW and
more!) from up to 50 miles away when available!
Slim Design. Our super flat antenna has been
manufactured to the smallest possible size. This allows
you to hide it in places that are not easily visible, while
still maintaining great reception.
Durable. Our antennas are soft and lightweight, so you
can hide it behind the TV, lay it flat on a shelf or stick it
high on a window. Our antennas resist damage from
moisture and direct sunshine.
Attachment Options. We’ve included thumbtacks that
will allow you to easily and quickly attach it to your wall.
We’ve also provided removable double-sided tape to use
instead for the harder to reach areas (or windows).
US-based Support. We are a US-based company, and we
take pride in supporting our customers. Visit

and optimization tips to get the most out of your
antenna.

INSTALLATION
1. Attach the antenna to wall or any other non-metallic
surface using the provided thumbtacks or temporary
masking tape.
a. Ensure that the antenna is unobstructed (not
behind anything) and as high as possible. You can
attempt to conceal your antenna after you have
confirmed it is working.
b. The antenna should be generally pointing in the
direction provided by the report obtained by
entering your address into NoCable.org
2. Connect either end of the coaxial cable to the bottom
of the antenna.

3. Attach the open end of the coaxial cable to the
connecter located on the amplifier. Connect the
coaxial cable attached to the amplifier to the ANT/IN
port on the back of the TV.
4. Connect the amplifier to a power source. You can use
the USB port on your TV (4b), or the provided power
adapter when plugged into any standard wall outlet
(4a). The light on the amp will be red if working
properly.
5. Scan for channels. In the TV’s setup menu, set the
signal type to “Broadcast”, “Antenna” or “Air” (NOT
CABLE), then set the TV to “Scan” or “Program” for
new channels. Consult your TV’s manual for detailed
instructions.
6. Adjust antenna for best reception. Try various
positions, heights and directions to gain better
reception. Perform a channel rescan after each
adjustment.
7. Secure antenna permanently. Once optimal reception
has been found, permanently secure the with the
provided thumbtacks or double-sided adhesive.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Did you remember to scan?
Before your TV can capture any channels, you need to
first set the TV to Broadcast, Antenna or Air mode (NOT
CABLE), then “autoscan” for channels. Without this step,
your antenna will not work. Here are some help links for
getting it to work for your TV: https://nocable.org/tvscan
Small Changes = Huge Differences
Typically, it is important to get your antenna setup as
high as possible in your home, and on a window or wall if
possible. Antennas typically need to be oriented or
"aimed" to get the best signal from the desired station.
DTV reception can often be improved just by changing
the location of your current antenna, even as little as a
few inches. Please remember to rerun your channel scan
each time you move the antenna to a new location. For
example, moving it away from other objects or placing it
higher or lower can sometimes improve reception. Be
sure to move the antenna slowly to allow time for the
signal received to be displayed.
Tip: Patience is usually rewarded here. Try as many
positions and orientations as you can. Signals can
sometimes be extremely finicky!

Do you have an older TV?
Was your TV made before 2006 or is it considered a
"display"? If you answered “yes” to either of those, you
will likely also need to purchase a digital converter box to
get any antenna to work properly. This is not common,
but worth exploring. More information on this can be
found here: https://nocable.org/oldtv
Get it high!
Height is usually the single best thing you can give an
indoor antenna for improved reception. Slight changes in
positioning also help, but you need to be patient and try
as many places as you can... the slightest change can
sometimes make an ENORMOUS difference.
Too much power?
Try removing the amplifier from the setup and connect
the antenna directly to the TV. Sometimes if you are too
close to certain channel broadcasts, the amplifier can
produce an overloaded signal, which can cause distortion
or channel interference.
