Important notes on DVB-T reception:  
Please ask your dealer whether DVB-T is available in your 
region. DVB-T reception is depending on location and might 
be impaired by thick or steel-enforced walls, and high 
neighboring buildings. In such environments, an outdoor / 
roof-top DVB-T antenna is required. Mobile reception of 
DVB-T, e.g. in a car or train, is in general not possible.
