oFor 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.
oOther 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.
