Connecting the Mediamaster

About digital transmission

Digital Radio and TV signals can be blocked by buildings, mountains and the terrain. Depending on if the receiver is located in a valley, behind a mountain or in a concrete building, the quality of reception may vary considerably.

As with most other transmissions, bad weather affects reception quality.

Connecting to the TV aeriall

You can connect the Mediamaster to the following type of aerials:

1. Standard outdoor aerial

Where possible, use an outdoor roof aerial intended for receiving UHF/VHF channels (21-69).

Please note the following:

•In some blocks of flats, the roof-mounted aerial system includes a filter and channel selector. If so, the aerial may not work with the Mediamaster. Please consult your landlord.

•Many older roof-mounted aerials may only receive a limited number of channels, which results in it being difficult or even impossible to receive digital channels transmitted on higher frequencies. This problem can be solved by replacing the roof aerial.

•Some outdoor aerials are directed towards an analogue transmitter. The aerial must be directed towards a digital TV transmitter.

•It is not always advisable to position the aerial as high as possible. If problems arise, experiment with different aerial heights.

2. Indoor and window-mounted aerials

This type of aerial may be enough if the reception conditions are very good. When an indoor aerial is used, please note the following:

•Use an aerial for UHF/VHF channels (21-69), e.g., a directional aerial.

•Place the aerial by the window and direct it towards the TV transmitter, if possible.

•It is recommended that you use a Nokia aerial and an amplifier to provide a stronger signal.

•The strength of the TV signal varies according to reflections from e.g., buildings. The signal penetrates thick stone or concrete walls poorly. A wooden building, however, is not an insurmountable barrier for digital TV signals.
