Note
In order to receive digital terrestrial TV broadcast, the antenna is crucial.
Digital terrestrial TV broadcast uses about the same wave as analog TV. It’s
recommended to have a fishbone-like antenna on the roof for receiving. More
detail is on the troubleshooting chapter in this manual.
Digital TV broadcast is different then normal analog TV. You will see no
picture instead of noise or blur picture when the signal is too weak. Make sure
you have a good antenna and strong digital TV signal in your location. Or you
will have no TV picture at all.
