    Take a picture so we can see where all your knobs/switches are set. Take a pic of the antenna mount. Your antenna should not be over 9ft. Measure it. There is more, but that's a good start.

    Well best to take it back to the installer unless you installed it yourself, or contact the manufacture, thats why its always best to get a professional to install it you pay extra but its worth the money and most of all it'd be tax deductible.
