Product Information
Full details
The Electrovision Digital DVB-T Indoor TV and Radio Antenna is designed for homeowners and renters living in areas with moderate to poor signal reception who need a reliable, compact solution for terrestrial broadcasts. Its primary benefit is the adjustable built-in amplifier that significantly boosts signal strength for clearer picture and sound quality. However, users should note that as an indoor unit, its effectiveness can be limited by heavy masonry walls or extreme distance from transmitter towers.

FAQs
Does this antenna work with all digital TVs?
Yes, as long as your television is equipped with a standard coax (RF) antenna input, it is fully compatible.
Can I use this for FM radio?
Yes, this antenna is designed to receive both television and radio signals, provided your radio has a compatible antenna input.
Does it need to be near a window?
While not strictly required, placing it near a window often improves signal strength by reducing the number of walls the signal must penetrate.
How do I know if the amplifier is working?
The amplifier is built-in; adjusting the gain dial should result in a visible change in signal quality or quantity on your TV's signal strength diagnostic screen.
Is this antenna suitable for outdoor use?
No, this is an indoor-only antenna. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures may damage the internal components.
Troubleshooting
No channels found during scan
Ensure the coax cable is securely seated in the TV input and the power cord is plugged in. Re-orient the antennas and perform another channel scan.
Digital picture is freezing or pixelating
Adjust the amplifier gain dial. If the gain is set too high, it can introduce noise; try turning it down slowly until the signal stabilizes.
Intermittent audio or video loss
Check for nearby electronic devices causing interference and ensure the antenna is not obstructed by large metal objects or dense walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your antenna, connect the provided coax lead directly to the 'ANT IN' or 'RF IN' port on the back of your television or radio. Plug the power cable into a standard wall outlet. Once connected, run an 'Auto-Tune' or 'Channel Scan' via your device's settings menu to populate your channel list. For maintenance, clean the unit periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the piano black finish to prevent scratching. Ensure the antenna is kept away from large metal objects or heavy electronic interference sources like microwave ovens for the best possible results.
