Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels can I receive?
The number of channels you can receive will be determined by what is broadcasting in
your area. Channel reception will vary from location to location based on terrain
(including trees, buildings, hills and mountains). The fewer obstructions, the better
your chance of receiving strong digital signals. Go to https://www.fcc.gov/general/
digital-television and find DTV Reception Maps, enter your address for a listing of likely
channels available in your area.
Will all the channels receive be High Definition (HD)?
Not all digital signals are High Definition (HD). Make sure you are using a High Definition
Television (HDTV) with built in ATSC tuner. When connecting the antenna to a third-
party receiver (set-top box), make sure it is capable of receiving HD. Otherwise no HD
channels can be viewed.
Will picture quality be better than with cable?
All cable companies compress their HD signals. The result is a degraded signal that is
usually inferior to ATSC broadcast. Many factors determine whether your picture
quality will be better in every instance.
Can I connect the antenna to multiple televisions?
Yes. However, the signal should only be split between multiple HDTVs if using an
amplified antenna.

I am a bit confused about the cabling; two different types of connections for
the two TV connections. ?
There is no difference between the #1TV and #2TV. Either of the output
can connect your TV set.

3. Reposition the antenna in a different location, such as higher on a wall. Also try
facing the antenna directly towards the broadcast tower. Signal strength will vary
based on the surrounding conditions. Distance from the tower, and surrounding hills,
buildings and even tall trees can impact reception. Always re-scan for channels after
moving the antenna.
Why can't I get a specific channel that is known to be available in my area? One
channel is missing.
1. There may be obstructions between the antenna and the broadcast tower of your
desired channel. Please try to reposition the antenna and re-run the channel scan.
Why can't I get any channels from the antenna?
1. Your TV may not be functioning in the desired mode, or may not be scanning for
channels properly. Please refer to the manual of your TV for detailed instructions.
2. There may be obstructions between your antenna and the signals. Please try to
reposition the antenna and rescan for the channels.
3. Your TV may not have a built- in digital tuner, or your STB may not support HD
tuning. Please use a TV or STB that supports HD digital tuning.
Why is my reception so poor?
The signals at the position of your antenna may be very weak due to obstructions in
your surroundings. Please try to reposition the antenna and rescan for the channels.
It may help to place the antenna in a higher position.
The picture or sound freezes while I am watching a channel, or there are boxes in the
picture.
This is often caused by a weak or intermittent signal. Try moving the antenna to a
different location or aiming it in the direction of the tower the channel is being
broadcast from.

Everything is connected correctly but the motor doesn't work still.
Please rotate the motor by hand a full turn and then try to rotate by remote control.
Sometimes the oil on the gears of the motor are not fully spread, therefore it won't
turn. After turning it a full turn it will spread the oil on the gears and the motor
should work
I missed a part from the list. What should I do? Should I return the antenna?

you a replacement part free of charge within 30 days.
