before you get started
selecting your antenna
After noting all available DTV channels in your area from the websites provided, a suitable antenna
must be selected. Determine which antenna best suits your needs.
• Can I use my existing analog TV Antenna?
You must find out which stations in your
area are broadcasting in DTV. To find out
which stations in your area are broadcasting
in DTV and what kind of antenna system you
will need, visit the following two websites:

If you receive good noise free, ghost free signals on your analog channels, especially UHF channels
(most DTV signals are transmitted on UHF), you MAY be able to use your existing antenna system.
In this case, to feed the TV signals to both the set-top box and your existing TV/VCR system, you will
need to use a signal splitter (see Page 18). Passive signal splitters cause loss which can degrade the
signal. If needed, contact your local RadioShack store for an Amplified 2-way splitter that will not
degrade the signal.

channels, programming and station
informaton.
• Can I use an indoor set-top antenna? In strong signal areas, without reflection problems, this may be
satisfactory, but is not recommended. Your local RadioShack store sells antennas for cases where an
indoor antenna is suitable.
• Do I need an antenna upgrade? If the above options are not satisfactory, then you need an antenna
upgrade. Consult with your local RadioShack store.
• Choosing a new Antenna System:If all available DTV transmissions are from approximately
the same direction, the installation should be simple and inexpensive. The websites can help
with choice of antenna and pointing details. Ideally, antennas should be mounted high (e.g. on
a chimney) and clear of obstructions. An attic installation may be satisfactory. If available DTV
transmissions are from different directions, then either a motorized antenna (with a rotator) or
an “area special” antenna system is required. You can purchase antenna rotators from your local
RadioShack store or a professional antenna installer. Area special antennas are best handled by
professional antenna installers.
