channels have either perfect recept ion quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog 
channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel . You can, however, adjust your antenna to 
improve the reception of av ailable digital channels. 
 If the signal strength meter indicates that the  signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to 
increase the signal strength. Continue to adju st the antenna until you find the best position 
with the strongest signal.
