Mohu antennas are designed to be placed above and next to your television. A general rule for antenna placement is to get the antenna up as high as possible on the wall or in a window for the best reception. If you have one of our tabletop antennas, place the antenna on bookshelf or use the base stand to hang the antenna on the wall.
When you place your antenna behind your TV, you may experience signal interruption. It is best to place the antenna on a wall, in a window or on a bookshelf. Remember to run channel scan to see how clear your reception is and how many channels you receive. If you are not sure how to do a channel scan, contact us directly and we will help you. If you are getting clear reception on the channels in your area, then you are done! If you think your reception can be improved, try placing your antenna in a window and rescan the TV for channels.
A final note about window placement. When you place the antenna in the window and you are happy with the reception, make sure the white side of the antenna faces outside so the antenna absorbs less heat from the sun. Also you may need to secure all four corners of the antenna to the window so the ends do not curl (using clear packing tape is fine).
