Digital broadcasts cannot be
received.
Digital broadcast may not have started in your region yet.
The aerial may not be pointing in the direction of the TV station, or the direction of the aerial
may have changed due to strong winds or vibration. If problem persists consult your local TV
aerial installer. For more information about digital broadcasting, visit www.dba.org.au/
After DVB Auto-Setup only some
or no DVB channels are found.
Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions.
For more information about digital broadcasting, visit www.dba.org.au/
Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB.
Use the included RF coaxial cable shown in STEP 1, Connections “A” or “B”.
For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected/installed by a licenced installer that
should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.
If you live within 5-10 km of DVB transmission towers, a combined VHF/UHF aerial should be
adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception
performance.
If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna TV (MATV) system is
designed for analogue and DVB-T reception. Please consult your body corporate. For more
information about digital broadcasting, visit www.dba.org.au/
