Instructions

    • 1

      Position the HD antenna near your television. Most HD antennas are flat and can sit on top of your entertainment center, making them unobtrusive.

    • 2

      Connect the HD antenna to a local power outlet. The antenna requires a power source to receive the programming.

    • 3

      Insert the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the antenna. Connect the opposite end of the cable into one of the HDMI ports on your HDTV.

    • 4

      Power on the HDTV and the HD antenna. Press the "Input" button on your TV's remote control, then select "HDMI." You can now view your local programming in HD.
