Reception Trouble Shooting Guide

After a channel scan, some channels or no channels are found

- Your TV antenna may not be properly connected to your digital receiver

  1. Did you connect your antenna as illustrated on Page 11? The HD-STB must be the first device connected to the antenna when daisy-chaining RF input / output products such as VCRs, DVD Recorders and analog televisions.
  2. Is the antenna wall socket in good condition? For optimum and reliable contact performance, the antenna wall connector should be an 'F' (screw) type connector.
  3. Are you using a quality antenna fly lead between antenna wall socket and HD-STB? The use of RG6 or RG59 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cable fly leads with metal 'F' connectors provides a secure, reliable connection that also greatly reduces impulse noise pickup. Low cost antenna fly leads with right-angled plastic moulded connectors are a common cause of poor reception and impulse noise pickup.

- Digital TV or some channels (services) may not have yet commenced in your area.

Consult with your retailer who has local knowledge on DTV broadcasting

  • The signal received may be too poor to allow the digital receiver to find some or all available channels or
  • Your old antenna may not be designed to receive all DTV channels or
  • Antenna reception performance has deteriorated due to weathering, corrosion of antenna Connections / cabling and broken elements.

Please contact your local TV antenna installer.

Generally, a quality suburban antenna installation consists of:

(1) Separate VHF (Ch's 6-12) and UHF (Ch's 27.69) antenna's (rule of thumb; larger antenna's with more elements capture more signal). If you live within 5-10Km of DTV transmission towers, a combined VHF/UHF antenna should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF antennas provide superior reception performance.
(2) A shielded diplexer that combines the separate VHF and UHF antenna signals into one signal. Depending on DTV signal conditions, some installations may instead require a VHF/UHF masthead amplifier.
(3) RG6 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cabling 'F' connectors. These guidelines equally apply to regional installations except for the antenna, which, in most cases will be UHF only, since Most DTV broadcasting is usually located in the UHF bands.

TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, QUALIFIED ANTENNA INSTALLERS MUST PERFORM ANTENNA INSTALLATIONS, REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS.

• I am a home unit dweller

The existing Master Antenna TV (MATV) system may have been originally designed for analog PAL TV only, and may require a substantial upgrade or replacement to also carry DTV signals. Please consult your Body Corporate.

Reception Trouble Shooting Guide

Some channels display 'Poor/NoSignal' 'Check Antenna Connection'

- Received signal is 'too weak' (i.e; poor quality) to generate a stable picture. Please check antenna &cabling or contact your local TV antenna installer.

Picture regularly breaks up on some channels

- The received signal may be too weak to allow the digital TV receiver to reliably 'lock' to the desired signal and generate a stable picture.

Please check antenna & cabling or contact your local TV antenna installer.

- 'Impulse Noise' interference from household appliances such as lights, refrigerators, washing machines, electric stoves etc may cause pictures to break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily.

In the first Instance, replace antenna fly-lead with a quality RG6 or RG59 Quad Shield 75 ohm coaxial cable fly lead. If problem persists, check / improve antenna & cabling or contact your local TV antenna installer.

- A masthead amplifier may be 'over-boosting' the antenna signal, which is overloading the DTV tuner, resulting in poor reception on some or all channels.

Please contact your local TV antenna installer.

Picture very infrequently breaks up on some or all channels

  • Electrical atmospheric interference caused by local or distant lighting storms or heavy rain with wind in 'leafy' locations may cause pictures to break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily.
  • Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used electrical appliance, Or a passing Vehicle or lawn mower with a 'noisy' ignition system.
