Note
In order to receive digital terrestrial TV broadcast, you have to have your own
antenna which is crucial. Digital terrestrial TV broadcast uses about the same
wave (UHF) as analog TV. It’s recommended to have a fishbone-like antenna
on the roof for receiving. More details can be found in the troubleshooting
chapter of this manual.
Digital TV broadcast is different than normal analog TV. You will see no
picture instead of noisy or blurred 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.
