o
The UHF band (channels 14 and higher) is more directional than VHF (channels 2-13) and
more sensitive to obstacles (such as trees, tall buildings, and mountains) that lie between your
antenna and the broadcast tower. Getting good UHF reception can be more difficult than VHF.
o
If you're getting marginal reception of digital signals, both the picture and sound might freeze or
break up to the point that it's not watchable. If you're really on the fringes—either too far from a
tower or with too many obstacles in the way—you'll see a black screen that says "No signal".
o
Reception can vary by channel, depending on the location and broadcast power level of a given
station.
o
Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV.
o
Move the antenna around the room or close to a window. Check the signal strength of the
digital channels again. The optimal location may vary by channel.
o
Use a basic indoor set-top antenna designed to pick up both VHF and UHF.
OR
Use a set-top antenna that has a built-in signal amplifier.
OR
Use an antenna mounted on your roof or in your attic
