As of June 12, 2009 television stations across the nation are required by law to broadcast in a digital format. These new laws and formats require users in certain areas to have a digital converter box and an adequate antenna to receive the new signal. Some areas will not require the use of an outdoor antenna, whereas others will need an indoor antenna. Pointing the antenna properly is the only way to ensure that you will receive a quality signal. Indoor antennas are simply placed on the top of the television or nearby and do not require pointing in a certain direction. However, outdoor antennas will require pointing.
Instructions
1. Locate an area on side the of the roof of your home to place the antenna. This area should be unobstructed by trees or anything else that may interfere with a direct signal. The antenna should be clear of any other cables or power lines running near the home.
2. Extend an imaginary line running vertical from the ground upward where you placed the antenna. Position your antenna parallel or in sequence with this line.
3. Tilt the antenna slightly away from the line toward the roof. A 25 degree angle is an ideal tilt. Ensure that the antenna points toward the sky unobstructed.
4. Turn on your TV to ensure that you're receiving proper reception.
