You should mount your aerial as high as possible on either a chimney, on an external wall, or in the loft. Remember
that in general, TV pictures improve with height and the less obstructions between the aerial and the transmitter
the better.

Now point your aerial in the direction of the transmitter by looking at neighbours aerials and copying the direction
they are pointing. If you decide to fit the aerial in your loft, special care should be taken when walking in the roof
space.

Typical Aerial Mounting Application Examples

Tip:
Look at outdoor aerials in your area to see which direction to point your aerial for best reception.

Aligning your aerial

Turn on your TV set. Refer to manufacturers instructions
to tune your TV into the available digital/HD/3D
channels. Select a tuned in channel.
Next, carry out the following procedures:

1. Turn your aerial to the LEFT until you lose the picture
(if alone turn the volume up and turn until you hear a
reduction in sound quality).

2. Remember this position and turn your aerial to the
RIGHT until you lose the picture/sound again.

3. Now point the aerial in the centre of these two points
and you will receive optimum reception.

Need a boost?

If you are struggling to receive some of the digital
terrestrial channels clearly or are experiencing picture
break up on your TV, this may be due to being in a very
poor signal area and a signal booster may be required.

When connected between your aerial and TV/Set top
box, a booster will amplify the signal being received
from your closest TV transmitter.

The now amplified signal should then give you more
chance of receiving a clearer, stronger and more stable
picture.

Visit our website www.maxview.co.uk for our full range
of digtial signal boosters.
