How to Set the Proper Direction for Antennas
- 1). Determine the approximate direction of the station location you'd like to access. If you do not know the direction, look up the call or station letters or go to a station finder website on the Internet.
- 2). Have an assistant go to the TV set location. Call the assistant on a cell phone and have him turn on the TV, selecting the channel you'd like to watch.
- 3). Loosen the bolts that hold your antenna in place with an adjustable wrench.
- 4). Turn the antenna to the approximate direction of the station that was determined in Step 1.
- 5). Talk with your assistant on the cell phone, and move the antenna back and forth by turning it one way and then back the other way until the assistant confirms that you've achieved optimum signal strength.
- 6). Tighten all bolts with the adjustable wrench.
