Over-The-Air Antenna Setup and Troubleshooting – Local Channel Connector

Enjoy your local channels—

including news, weather, live sports and more—with this Local Channel Connector. It’s yours to keep!

Before you begin, find the perfect spot.

To get the best reception, your antenna needs to be in a place where it can get a signal from the nearest broadcast tower. On or near a window is best. Make sure the area is free from obstructions or interference from other devices.
After it’s set up, you may need to test it in several places to find the best location.

Note: Use the supplied mounting strips to secure your antenna in place.

This Local Channel Connector may not be ideal for all situations, like if you live more than 50 miles away from the nearest broadcast signal tower. Signal strength in your area may vary. DIRECTV is not responsible for over-the-air local broadcasting signal strength.

Local Channel Connector (LCC): Receiving local channels over the air requires use of antenna. On Demand features only available to DIRECTV customers who receive local channels via satellite. Channel availability varies by location. DIRECTV is not responsible for local programming or signal strength. Signal strength may vary. Installation fee may apply.
