Turn on your TV set. Refer to manufacturers instructions to tune your TV into the available digital/HD/3D channels. Select a tuned-in 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.

  1. Use with a DTT set top box or integrated TV with digital tuner/receiver
  2. Satisfactory signal quality from DTT transmitter

  1. An HD ready TV
  2. Freeview HD receiver or TV with integrated Freeview HD tuner/receiver
