How to Aim a Flat Antenna
- 1). Visit the "DTV Reception Maps" website. Enter your zip code in the search field and click "Go!" to initiate the search. Review the provided list of local stations to find out which channels you should receive with your antenna.
- 2). Place the antenna on a level surface near an exterior wall.
- 3). Turn on the television and scan for channels. If your television does not prompt you to begin a scan for channels, press the "Channel Up" or "Channel Down" button on your remote.
- 4). Enter the numeric code for the channel you wish to view. Press "Enter" or "OK."
- 5). Adjust the antenna if the signal is weak or favors only certain channels. Move the antenna higher or lower, testing signal in various locations and positions. Only move the antenna 1 to 2 inches at a time and start a new channel scan after each move.
