If, when you say "different ends of its rotation", you mean that it is a
variable attenuator, then
the Min attenuation spec is the lowest attenuation setting, meaning that
maximum signal gets through. Max attenuation means that is the highest
level of attenuation, with the least amount of signal getting through.
To reduce the signal level more, rotate the setting toward the Max end.

It also says Min and Max and different ends of its rotation.

Does Max mean max signal or max attenuation?

Testing doesn't seem to show this, because the tv signal will
disappear when the signal is too weak, but also when it is too strong.
