5 Aiming the Antenna

Before permanently mounting the antenna for digital television (DTV) reception, it is a good idea to perform a quick sight survey to find the spot with the best signal. Moving the antenna one way or another just a few feet can make a tremendous difference in the success of the antenna installation.

BWarning

Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, keep ladder and antenna away from power lines. Contact may cause electrocution.

5.1 Overview

DTV is a little different than analog TV. With analog TV, peak signal strength was the most important factor for good reception and creating a good picture. With DTV, peak signal strength is not the most important factor for good reception. This means that our old methods for finding a location and aiming a TV antenna will not give us the best results for DTV. In choosing a permanent location for our DTV antenna we want to look at a couple of mounting locations. There are two methods for testing for the best antenna location:

1Terrestrial Digital receivers internal signal strength indicator.

2Conventional Analog TV pointing method.
