Troubleshooting guide

Trouble shooting guide

ISSUE| ACTION (After re-positoning or adjusting your antenna you should re- tune your TV)
No picture or sound, or picture is pixelated.| • Ensure you have selected an antenna appropriate for your location. Visit www.crest.com.au/myantenna for assistance.

• Try moving the antenna to another place in the room.

Placing near a window often works well especially if you can point towards the TV transmission tower.

• Make sure the antenna is away from any electrical appliances.

• Adjust the rods and loop of the antenna for optimal reception.

I can only receive a few channels.| • Please refer to steps above. Experimentation is often required to find an optimal location and orientation. With indoor antennas, you may find that an antenna may not receive all available channels at one location or orientation.
I can’t get a picture. Should I use an amplified antenna?| • If you are more than 10km away from the tower consider an amplified Crest antenna. Visit www.crest.com.au/myantenna for assistance.

• If you live close to a TV transmission tower, amplified antennas can overload your TV receiver or set top box, effectively blocking reception. A powered antenna may still receive signal even if the mains power is switched off when it is close to the TV transmission source.

I’ve tried all the steps above, but have not solved my problem.| • The reception performance of an indoor antenna can vary based on factors such as the materials with which your home is constructed and obstructions outside of your home such as hills, valleys and other buildings.

It may be that an outdoor antenna is required for your particular circumstances.

• When all TV was broadcast as an analogue signal, a weak signal could still give you a watchable result even if it was a bit grainy. The way in which a digital signal works is different. Instead of the picture becoming less clear as the signal strength reduces, a digital signal

will simply stop showing any picture at all. With digital signals, picture quality is all-or-nothing.
