To tune into multiple free digital terrestrial television channels DVB-T2, you need to check the signal strength, signal quality, and positions of the digital television transmission towers to accurately adjust the antenna rotation. In this article, Mytour will guide you on the most effective ways to lookup frequency and antenna orientation while tuning DVB-T2 channels on your TV!
Why do you need to retune channels and adjust TV antenna orientation?
- According to the national digitalization roadmap, the entire country will be covered with high-quality terrestrial television broadcasting by 2020.
- Traditional television channels will cease broadcasting in the near future, so if you want to watch TV, you'll need to scan digital channels.
- You'll have access to free-to-air TV channels, and the number of channels will depend on your location, with the transmission quality determined by how you install your antenna.
Guide on effectively installing and orienting antennas for DVB-T2 channel reception
Step 1: Access the link here to look up your address. You can input your address in three ways:
- Option 1: Click on the Identify Address section, then type in your home address. The website will suggest your address, and your job is to input it.
- Option 2: Select the Identify by Coordinates section, then input the coordinates of your home. This method is much more efficient and accurate.
- Option 3: Choose the Select Location on Map section, then click on your home address. This method works well in cities, but in rural areas with unclear house numbers, it can be challenging.
Step 2: Once you've confirmed your accurate home address, the website will display the corresponding frequency channels for broadcasting stations. Then, you can select which frequency channels to view. These channels will provide you with information such as: broadcasting stations, transmitter station locations, distance measurements from your home to the transmitter station..., and at the name of each frequency channel, there will be a signal strength icon, allowing you to know whether the signal is strong or weak.
Specifically as follows:
- 5-bar signal strength: Excellent signal reception. You can install an indoor antenna effectively, or place a low-height antenna outdoors.
- 4-bar signal strength: Good signal reception. You can install a low-height antenna outdoors to receive signals effectively.
- 3-bar signal strength: Signal reception is moderate. It's recommended to install an antenna at a height of 5-10m above ground level for better signal reception.
- 2-bar signal strength: Average signal reception. It's advisable to use high-quality directional antennas, with a height above 10 meters from the ground for better signal reception.
Step 3: Click on the tower icon on the map. Then, check if your antenna is pointed in the right direction, and tuning to the correct frequency will enable channel reception.
Above are some tips to help you look up frequency and orient your antenna when tuning DVB-T2 channels. Wishing you success.
