OR

o For more information about antennas and the available channels in your area, visit
www.antennaweb.org
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.
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."
Reception can vary by channel, depending on the location and broadcast power level of a given station.
o Other devices (e.g., surround sound receiver, external speakers, fans, etc) may be interfering with your TV. Try
turning one device off at a time to determine which device is causing the interference.
Once you have determined which device is causing interference, please move it further from the TV to
eliminate the interference.
