Connecting Off-Air Antenna/Cable TV

Make sure to follow the antenna installation instructions correctly. Ground an outdoor antenna per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any local electrical codes.

The audio/video quality on local off-air channels depends on the distance and terrain between the broadcast station and your home, and on the placement and quality of the off-air TV antenna you use. If you have questions about off- air channels, contact the broadcaster, not DISH Network.
