| A. |
Yes. Buying a new digital television set isn't the only option you have for navigating the DTV transition. If you wish to continue using your analog set, you must purchase a DTV converter box, which will convert the new digital signal into the analog format for older televisions. |
| Q. |
How can I determine if DTV will work in my area/location? |
| A. |
In general, if you have a working antenna, or there are working antennas in your
neighborhood, if any analog channels can be viewed (even if they are somewhat snowy
or otherwise imperfect), the digital copy of this station, and its sub-channels should
work. |
| |
| Q. |
What factors determine just how good my reception will be? |
| A. |
The distance from the station, and the amount of obstruction in the direction of your
receiving area are the prime factors in determining the quality of your reception. |
| |
| Q. |
Will DTV work if there are trees on my property? |
| A. |
Trees will decrease the signal, but unlike satellite, they will not completely block the signal. |
| |
| Q. |
Does the weather have an effect on my reception? |
| A. |
DTV reception is much less likley to drop-out during snow and rain than Satellite,
in fact moderate rain and snow can improve the signal quality. |
| |
| Q. |
Where do I mount my antenna? |
| A. |
When possible, choose a spot that will allow the antenna to be as unubstructed by buildings
trees ect. as possible. |
| |
| Q. |
Do I need any special tools to install my own antenna kit? |
| A. |
No, our self-install kits come complete with all connectors installed, however a cordless
driver with a 7/16 socket is very helpfull in attaching the mount, and a 10mm wrench and
a compass are required for aiming the antenna.
|
| |
| Q. |
How do I aim my antenna for reception? |
| A. |
You use a compass to aim a mark on your rotor to due North then follow customized aiming instructions,
using a keypad on the rotor remote control to start the tuning process. |
| |
| Q. |
Can I hook-up more than one TV set? |
| A. |
Yes but you will need to describe your needs when ordering your kit, so we can
supply you with the proper equipment and instructions..We will be happy to quote
the charges for these available options. |
