Questions & Answers
Q
How do I know where the signal is strongest?
After connecting the coax cable to the "Antenna In" port on the TV,
A
run a channel scan. Try the antenna in different locations, making sure
to run a channel scan every time you move the antenna. Finding TV
signal is similar to cell phone coverage. Sometimes walking a few
feet can make a difference. The less obstructions and the higher the
antenna is mounted, the better chance of receiving a strong signal.
Q
Does the Rayzar antenna work with any TV?
The Rayzar antenna works with any TV or device that has an ATSC
A
tuner. Devices that have built-in ATSC tuners include TVs, laptops,
PCs, some satellite receivers, and digital recording devices (DVRs).

mountains). The fewer obstructions, the better your chance for receiving
strong digital signals.
