What steps should I take if I’m receiving poor reception for KVIE through an antenna?

Make sure your antenna is a VHF/UHF antenna. Many so-called DTV antennas sold were UHF only. UHF only antennas will not work.

If you are using an outdoor antenna, check that it is aimed towards our transmitter site at Walnut Grove. Here is the FCC antenna web site where you can enter your address and determine where to aim your antenna.

If you are using an indoor antenna, you may need to experiment with different locations and orientation to get satisfactory reception. Locating the antenna near a window facing towards Walnut Grove may help. Outdoor antennas are preferable and will always give better results than an indoor antenna.
