Troubleshooting
I have a cable ready TV. Why am I not getting any channels
above 13?
The tuners inside of cable ready TVs have two modes. One
mode is for cable and the other mode is for antenna. When
the TV is in cable mode, and you are using an antenna, you
will not be able to receive any channels above 13. To fix this,
simply access the menu of your TV and switch the TV from
Cable/CATV mode to ANT/AIR mode.
I have my TV in a metal cabinet. Will the antenna work for me?
Large metal objects may prevent the antenna signal from
reaching the antenna. Try placing the antenna outside of or
above the metal cabinet. If you decide to keep the FDTV1a on
a metal cabinet, use it in the upright position.
My home has aluminum siding/insulation. Where should I
place my antenna?
If you observe poor performance, place the antenna near a
window to minimize interference and improve your reception.
Can I use my antenna in a basement?
TV signals usually cannot penetrate into basement locations
due to their lower elevation.
Please Note: Other variables, which are not related to
antenna performance, can effect your reception. These
include distance from the source transmitting the desired
station, and man-made and natural conditions. Example:
Obstacles such as buildings between the transmitting source
and your antenna.
