5 Aiming the Antenna
Before permanently mounting the antenna for
digital television (DTV) reception, it is a good
idea to perform a quick sight survey to find the
spot with the best signal. Moving the antenna
one way or another just a few feet can make
a tremendous difference in the success of the
antenna installation.
B Warning
Installation of this product near power lines
is dangerous. For your safety, keep ladder and
antenna away from power lines. Contact may
cause electrocution.

5.1 Overview

DTV is a little different than analog TV.
With analog TV, peak signal strength was the
most important factor for good reception
and creating a good picture. With DTV, peak
signal strength is not the most important factor
for good reception. This means that our old
methods for finding a location and aiming a TV
antenna will not give us the best results for
DTV. In choosing a permanent location for our
DTV antenna we want to look at a couple of
mounting locations. There are two methods for
testing for the best antenna location:
Terrestrial Digital receivers internal signal
1
strength indicator.
Conventional Analog TV pointing method.
