The TV antenna tower can be placed on a TV stand or mounted high up on a wall for increased reception. We like that QLZLLF includes screws and wall studs with your purchase to help you with setup, but you will still need a power drill for wall installation. Alternatively, you can mount TV antennas outside for the best possible reception.

What Can I Watch With a TV Antenna?
Your TV must have a built-in HD tuner to utilize a digital antenna. Check your TV’s manual to confirm this feature before ordering a TV antenna. Otherwise, you will need a digital converter box.
