Rotor not turning antenna

We just installed our new antenna and rotor today. We have the channel master 9521A as well as a channel master antenna. Everything appears to be connected properly. When we first powered on we performed a synchronization. We then used the up control on the remote and went through up to 360, the picture got better and then worse...as we expected, we just wanted to see if it got better yet. We then used the down button to go back where the picture had been the best and the antenna is no longer turning. I went back on the roof and opened the cover on the rotator and had my husband operate the base unit, I can hear a soft buzzing sound when he is asking it to move...but there is no movement. It is currently about 5 degrees out, could this be a factor? What else can we check? We hope to get the Superbowl tomorrow. Please help! Thank you for your time! Debi

Most rotors have a brake, if yours has one, you have to hold the brake down then rotate.

My 9537 lights up and goes thru the numbers 0-360 but the antenna does not movmove

Has this installation previously worked or is this a new installation?
Sounds like it may be in the rotator itself.

I have a VIZIO E552VL TV hooked up to an Over the Air Antenna and want to MANUALY put in channels NOT AUTO SCAN

Not sure if your TV is digital or analog, but I think an analog TV does not have the ability to perform auto scan, so you may be able to manually input the channels. As a kid, my dad installed a rotary antenna, and as it rotated and TV pictures displayed on the screen, dad noted the specific spot on the rotary unit; and every time we turned the set on, we just pointed the arrow on the dial on the unit to where dad noted what the channel number was on the unit, and the antenna turned toward that direction, and the pictured appeared on the screen.

I moved and cant figure out how to hook my 4030 channel master antenna up again. I have a converter box and hd toshiba tv

INSTALLATION

Channel Master by PCT indoor antennas are designed to provide optimum reception of

UHF / VHF and FM signals. These antennas have 75 ohm outputs, which allow simple,

hassle-free connections to today's newer TV sets that have 75 ohm F type connector

inputs.

Simply attach one end of the supplied 6' cable with F connectors to the output of the

antenna (Fig.1). Attach the other end of the cable to the input of the TV set or VCR

(Fig. 2). Some adjustment of the antenna might be necessary for optimum viewing.

Model CM-4030 includes a built-in amplifier and separate power supply.

1. Follow the same steps as above for antenna to TV / VCR hookup. Note : Model

CM-4030 also allows for two set / VCR hookups with its unique dual output feature.

2. Insert the power injector into the back of the antenna (Fig. 3). Plug in the power
transformer to the closest electrical outlet (Fig. 4).

Screen on tv just says no signal

When installing a new antenna, a TV will often need retuning in order to operate with the new antenna.
Using your remote, access the TV's menu (settings as oppose to TV guide) and you should be able to access a tuning menu, this may be located in Picture, or have its own section.
Select the setting for automatic tuning and you should find that the TV uses the new antenna to find its channels.

NEw TV antenna fails to capture all local channels

Dear Shoostar, 6:55 EST (USA)

It may be that those stations are only broadcasting in analog for now and since your using a digital converter the signal can't be read.
Did you try using the old antenna to get those stations?

If this is the problem you could use both antennas with a switch when you want to change channels for now until they all go digital.

I once used two antennas and a 4-pole switch to get Philly & New York from Jersey instantly back in the day.
I didn't like waiting for the antenna rotor to turn into place!

Hope this is helpful.

Locking digital channels

UNFORTUNATELY THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET BOTH IS WITH A SECOND ANTENNA. IF THE SET DOES NOT SEE THE SIGNAL IT DOES NOT LOCK IT INTO MEMORY.
