• Make sure your cable connections are connected securely. 
• If you are receiving service from a cable or satellite provider, reception can vary by channel depending on the broadcast power level of a given station.  Contact your cable or satellite provider.

• The UHF band (channels 14 and higher) is more directional than VHF (channels 2-13) and more sensitive to obstacles (such as trees, tall buildings, and mountains) that lie between your antenna and the broadcast tower. Getting good UHF reception can be more difficult than VHF.
• If you're getting marginal reception of digital signals, both the picture and sound might freeze or break up to the point that it's not watchable. If you're really on the fringes—either too far from a tower or with too many obstacles in the way—you'll see a black screen that says "No signal".
• Reception can vary by channel, depending on the location and broadcast power level of a given station.
• Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV.
• Use a basic indoor set-top antenna designed to pick up both VHF and UHF.
