Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions.
Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB. For your
safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected / installed by a licenced
installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.
Note: If you live within 5-10 Km of DVB transmission towers, a
combined VHF / UHF aerial should be adequate. Outside this area,
separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception performance.
If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna
TV (MATV) system is designed for analogue and DVB-T reception.

picture. Repeat the tuning procedure (p. 31). If problem persists
consult your local TV aerial installer.
