What’s In the Box?

The contents of the box for the Chaowei Digital TV Antenna-DVB66 may vary, but typically it would include the following items:

  • Chaowei Digital TV Antenna
  • Signal amplifier
  • Coaxial cable
  • Instruction manual
  • All necessary mounting hardware

Note
Some models may include additional items or accessories, so it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s website or the included instruction manual for a complete list of contents.

Omnidirectional signals in all directions

In contrast to directional TV antennas, which must be pointed at the broadcast tower for the best reception, the Chaowei Portable Digital HDTV Antenna can receive signals in all directions.

Installation takes under 3 minutes

  1. Exit the box.
  2. 2, Insert it into the coaxial cable port on your TV.
  3. Switch your TV to antenna mode and REMEMBER to channel-scan!
  4. 4, Find a decent location for it in your home, mount it, and utilise an extra-long cord.

Long Coaxial Cable, 16.5 feet

  1. Users have the freedom to position the antenna where they may pick up more channels thanks to the High Quality Standard Coaxial Cable.

  2. The premium coaxial cable has a sturdy outer layer, three layers of aluminium shielding, a dielectric insulator, and a solid centre conductor.

  3. Reliable performance is achieved with the greatest picture quality thanks to durable design that shields against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference.

Prevent Obstacles

  1. Please be aware that your distance and location may have a significant impact on the actual reception range. The effective range will be shortened in areas with significant barriers, such as valleys, mountains, etc. After repositioning the HDTV antenna, always rescan the channels; this could produce better results.
  2. If your home is very close to the broadcast tower and the signal is already quite strong, we DO NOT RECOMMEND using the amplifier or booster.

Before you buy an indoor HD TV antenna, there are two things we recommend you try:

  1. Please confirm that your TV or other device has an integrated ATSC tuner. If your TV is less than five years old, picking up freeview channels is not an issue. In the event that your television is older than ten years, you may need to purchase a digital converter box.)
  2. Please check the number of DTV stations available in your area, along with the local channels that can be received from those broadcast towers, the signal strength, and the distance to the tower. Considering all of these factors will enable you to decide whether you require the Chaowei AMP1801 Amplifier Signal Booster.

Reception Advice

  1. The nearest broadcast towers, if they are more than 40 miles distant Or, if the broadcasting signals are weak, please try to pair with Chaowei AMP1801, a TV signal amplifier, as this would significantly improve the performance of a DVB66 Digital TV Antenna compared to an indoor amplified HDTV antenna.
  2. To enhance the reception, attach the magnetic base antenna to a few iron objects. Additionally, its setting is much more stable and durable than other items due to the magnetic bottom.
  3. If your antenna does not function at all, kindly perform the following check
    Ensure that your TV has an ATSC tuner built in (TVs made prior to 2009 do not have an ATSC tuner); Obtain an HDTV receiver or digital converter box (set top box) if the answer is no;
  • Ensure that the ANTENNA/CABLE IN port on your TV is in good working order and that the antenna is installed appropriately;
  • Make sure there are strong broadcast signals accessible in your area.
  • Make sure there are no obstacles near your home, such as a hefty metal door, a powerful running machine (like the metro), a working appliance, a tall building, or a tree.
  • Move it about your home by attempting to To determine where you would receive the best reception, try scanning from a few different locations and perspectives.
  1. Please verify the signal strength and the distance to the tower to see whether you need a signal booster to amplify the receiving range if our antenna receives fewer channels than your old antenna.
  2. If you’re having trouble receiving some Hi-V or Lo-V channels, please ask your local TV station if they broadcast such frequencies horizontally from their transmitter. If they do, you might need a directional TV antenna, such as a pair of rabbit ears.
  3. If you discover some channels outside and inside, try mounting this antenna outside or placing it on a ledge for best reception.

How can I ensure that I get optimum results from my new Chaowei Digital TV Antenna-DVB66?

To ensure that you get optimum results.

Which local stations do you choose?

You should search the available antenna-only channels rather than cable TV. Most TVs require you to hit the input button before choosing the scan you want. You can choose an antenna or cable scan there.

Is HD television required?

You may use this antenna to pick up over-the-air channels as long as your TV has an ATSC tuner, but if it was made before 2007, you might require a digital converter box (set-top box). You can check with your local broadcast company to see what signals are transmitting in your area to determine whether you will receive hd or sd pictures. According to our experience, the majority of customers received HD channels.

Is an AC outlet required to power this antenna? How long is the electrical ac cord if so?

there is no cord. only the cable from the digital device at the back of the TV. Because the digital unit is so little, around the length of my hand, it may be easily hidden. Because the extension chord is so lengthy, you can put it practically any place.

Shows Univision on this antenna?

Not in the vicinity of Portland, Maine. Maybe if you’re close to a big city like Boston. I put the antenna in the middle of the house, and it did a great job of picking up channels including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, CW, and Create TV. I didn’t position it close to the window, where it may have picked up additional channels, because those are actually all the channels I want.

Can this be used in a tent?

Yes, if there are working signals where you plan to camp. Please double-check your little device’s ability to work with this digital TV antenna by seeing if it has an integrated ATSC tuner.

Would this work for a smart TV’s improved wifi range?

No. Your smart TV should be able to detect your wifi modem if you have one. Antenna reception on basic channels can occasionally be disturbed.

The cord may it be changed?

The antenna and the cord are combined, hence this cord cannot be changed.

What is the name of this kind of antenna?

This passive (i.e., without an amplifier) portable indoor/outdoor antenna has the model number DVB66. You need an amplifier (like ours, AMP1801) to receive the over-the-air channels if the signals are weak or the distance from the tower is greater than 35 miles.

What is the range of mileage?

If the signals are strong or moderate in your area, this passive antenna performs well for a range of 0–35 even 40 miles; however, if the signals are poor, it is preferable to add an amplifier to it, such as the AMP1801 TV Signal Amplifier.

Is it possible to use this with a pop-up camper?

You can use it with a pop-up camper, yes.
