FAQs:
1. What do I need to know after I have installed the antenna?
After you connect your antenna to the TV, refer to your TV instruction on how to set up the single source to correct Air/Antenna type and scan the digital channels. If you are using a digital converter box, please refer to the instructions for the converter box to scan the channels. For most of the HDTV models today, you will need to set up the signal source correctly in order to get the digital channels. You can go to your TV menu and find the settings for installation options. Set up the signal source to AIR/Antenna. After you set up the signal source, go to Channel Scan or Channel Manage to scan the digital channels. This process will usually take 5-10 minutes to complete. You will be able to see the channels count up or down during the scan process.
2. Can I install my outdoor antenna in the attic?
Some customers may want to install the antenna in their attic to avoid exposure to bad weather outdoors. Yes, you can install the antenna in the attic, but your roofing material may weaken the signal strength. We advise for best results to mount the antenna outside. Check if the signal level is good enough for most of the channels before you install it in your attic. You may expect the signal to be approximately 10-15% weaker than if installed outside.
