DTV Reception Trouble Shooting Guide

After a channel scan, some channels or no channels are found.

1.Did you connect your antenna as illustrated in 4.1?

If you have a pay TV box or a Video Recorder connected, then the HD-STB must be the first device connected to the antenna. (That is the antenna should be plugged into the STB and the STB RF OUT should then be plugged into the next device.

2.Is the antenna wall socket in good condition?

For optimum and reliable contact performance, the antenna wall connector should be an ‘F’ (screw) type connector.

3.Are you using a quality antenna fly lead between antenna wall socket and the HD-STB?

The use of RG6 or RG59 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cable fly leads with metal ‘F’ connectors provides a secure, reliable connection that also greatly reduces impulse noise pickup. Low cost antenna fly leads with right-angled plastic moulded connectors are a common cause of poor reception and impulse noise pickup.
