4.3Setting up a digital tuner with this antenna

Digital TV tuners require you to program the tuner with the available channels in your area. Generally this automatic process is part of the set-up of the tuner. However, if you do not have the antenna set up properly you may find that the tuner receives no viewable channels.

If you have access to a rooftop antenna or another antenna which is currently connected to a digital tuner you may use the antenna to program the tuner. The channels will be memorized in the tuner - which will make aligning this antenna easier.

Another method is to connect the antenna directly to your TV (not using the tuner) and tune to analog channels to find best location of the antenna, then re-connect the digital tuner

–if you have adequate signal level you should be able to program the tuner.
