Missing channels? Reception issues? Try this...
Tip 1: Try a different antenna position
‣
Try moving your antenna as close to a window as possible
‣
Depending on the location of the nearest TV transmitter, you may also want to try moving your antenna to a different side of your home
‣
Try placing your antenna horizontally instead of vertically"
Tip 2: Find missing channels with ”Thorough Channel Search“
If you are missing channels, you can tell The Tube to analyze all frequencies more carefully:
‣
To launch a new channel search, select ”File >
Search Channels...“ from the menu bar

Make sure ”Scan thoroughly (slower)“ is checked

Tip 3: Upgrade to a larger antenna
In areas with weak coverage, we recommend using a larger antenna, powered indoor antenna or rooftop antenna to achieve best results:
‣
Connect the external antenna adapter included with your device to your TubeStick‘s
antenna port
‣
Plug your external antenna into the adapter
‣
Perform a new channel search using ”The Tube“ (Please see ”Tip 2“ above for details)
