This will usually restore reception if the signal level is adequate. Try a rescan of channels on your TV or converter box.

Here is some additional info that may be helpful:

If more than one TV on antenna use an amplified splitter.

Increase the height of antenna – at least roof mounted or if possible higher (may require a tower.).

Higher gain outside antenna – will have more elements = higher gain- Be sure to check UHF gain as all Milwaukee stations are on UHF band except PBS on VHF).

Here and below is some info that may help improve reception. If your previous analog reception was marginal or with some snow, then you will likely have difficulties with digital reception.Īnything you can do to improve the signal level will help stabilize reception. This would indicate you are at the edge of what we call the digital cliff. Although when the signal is right on the edge you may see freezes or blocking in the video. Once the signal drops below a useable level a DTV receiver will show nothing. I have had viewers move antenna 4 ft and improve signal level & stability.ĭigital is all or nothing, unlike analog where the signal would get snowy as signal level is reduced. Sometimes moving the antenna to a different location may help. Putting outside antenna on the roof would likely improve reception, if the antenna is in an attic the roof & shingles will reduce the signal level. Try to adjust the antenna position for the best signal level & most stable picture. If you had snow or ghosts in the analog UHF reception previously, you will likely have problems in DTV reception. Your distance from the towers is a factor. You can put in your zip code to see what is estimated signal level and coverage in your area. This link will allow you to put your address in and show you what reception quality you may be able to obtain and indicate what antenna type you may need. Note, If you are receiving WITI FOX6 by cable or satellite, you should contact your provider for assistance. Below is some DTV reception information that may help explain reception problems and assist you in improving reception.
