By James M. Waters


Compared to an analog, an HDTV signal is more difficult to acquire. Your TV set can either obtain an excellent reception or none at all. This article, will assist you on how you can acquire the perfect HDTV reception.

Specify area of television station aerial. The very first thing which you must do is to give your local television station a call. After that, ask them regarding the location of their broadcast antennas.

You now need to change or adjust the present position of your exterior aerial. In case you had your aerial installed on the rooftop, you have to release the U-bolts which are carrying the aerials. Then, reposition the aerial and point it to the route where the TV station's broadcast mast is situated. Make sure you have a helper to aid you check the television every time you make any modifications to the aerial. Avoid yelling to one another to talk, but instead, make use of a mobile phone. Every time you make a change to the position of the external aerial, ask your helper to rescan for stations. Then, when you've finally obtained the channels you want, tighten the U-bolts to keep the antenna secured in place.

Modify the indoor aerial ears. You can now begin working on readjusting your indoor antennas until you acquire the perfect television reception. First you should ensure to lift the antennas as high up to the ceiling as possible. You may then gradually adjust the directions of the aerial ears until you're pleased with the reception from your TV. It is necessary that while you create any changes, you also continue to monitor your TV so you can immediately know the precise change which offered the perfect TV reception.

Transfer the TV set close to the window. If pulling and repositioning the antenna ears didn't work, you could try carrying your TV set and antennas near the window. Usually this will work as signals are strongest where there are no physical interferences. Make sure that the co-axial wires aren't kinked to below 3 inches in radius.

A different way for you to determine which particular place in the room has the perfect TV reception is to bring the antenna and move it around the room. While you are executing this, be sure you watch for the best reception from the TV. Once you've determined the area for the perfect reception, transfer the TV set to that specific spot.
