1. Before making any changes to your current antenna or antenna system, you should perform a channel scan to see if your antenna receives the digital signals being broadcast in your area. If you are more than 40 miles away the closest broadcast towers Or If the broadcasting signals are weak, pls try to couple with Chaowei AMP1801 TV signal amplifier, then DVB66 Digital TV Antenna will outperform an indoor amplified HDTV antenna by leaps and bounds
2. Attach the magnetic base antenna to a few iron things will help improve the reception. And the magnetic bottom makes it setting a lot more stable and sturdy than other products out there
3. If your antenna DOES NOT WORK at all, pls kindly check as follows:
