Pratical and Useful Information.

Newer Digital Tv's have Digital and Analog tuners.

Older Tv's have a Analog tuner but no Digital tuner.

Using the Analog tuner will receive W32CV.

The image/picture on the screen will be Analog so will not be the best quality.

_____________________

No matter what , a Big antenna is required for reception , to go after reliable reception of NBC , and to receive as many channels as possible.

As a Test of reception , remove the old beat up antenna and in it's place install a Winegard HD7698P antenna.

Replace All outside coax with New RG-6 coax that has the Compression type connectors on the ends of the coax , not the old crimp type connectors.

Replace All outside coax system connections and couplers.

Install a Winegard LNA-200 'Boost' XT antenna system amplifier.

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

_____________________

Test reception in 2 directions.

About 138 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna.

Scan for Digital Broardcast Tv stations/channels.

_______________

Aim the HD7698P antenna at about 289 degree magnetic compass direction.

Scan for Digital Broadcast Tv stations channels.

___________________________________________________________

As always , the strating antenna aim direction is the --> starting antenna aim direction.

The aim direction can be adjusted for best reception.

Most Converter Boxes and Tv Tuners have a Signal Strength Meter and some also have a Signal Quality Meter.

___________________________________________________________

Digital Broadcast Tv Tuners can develop -Digital Glitches- that are not cleared out with simple channel scans.

It can help reception to do Double Rescans.
