Signal Information (digital channels only)
Unlike analogue channels, which can vary in reception quality from ‘snowy’ to clear
, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect 
reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analogue channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. Y
ou can, 
however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.
If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. 
Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal.
