18 ELEMENT DIGITAL TV AERIAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS & USER GUIDE You should mount your aerial as high as possible on either a chimney, on an external wall, or in the loft. Remember, that in general, TV pictures improve with height and the less obstructions between the aerial and the transmitter the better. Now point your aerial in the direction of the transmitter by looking at neighbours aerials and copy the direction they are pointing. If you decide to fit the aerial in your loft, special care should be taken when walking in the roof space.

ALIGNING YOUR AERIAL Turn on your TV set. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions to tune your TV into the available digital or analogue channels. Select a tuned-in analogue channel. Next, carry out the following procedures: 1. Turn your aerial to the LEFT until you lose the picture (if alone turn the volume up and turn until you hear a reduction in sound quality). 2. Remember this position and turn your aerial to the RIGHT until you lose the picture/sound again. 3. Now point the aerial in the centre of these two points and you will receive optimum reception. To tune in Digital Terrestrial Television channels refer to manufacturer’s instructions of your DTT equipment.
