No tv channels

[pxt]

Do you have the amplified antenna button on ( small button on face plate where ant cable comes out of wall). Should have a small blue, green or red light when on). Did you go to setup menu on tv and do a channel scan?

1. Do you have an antenna that can be rotated?
2. If so, have you pointed it in the general direction of OTA broadcast stations?
3. Have you turned on your antenna booster?
4. If so, have you selected antenna (as opposed to cable, etc.) on your TV's input selection?
5. If so, have you told your TV to do a channel search/locate?

Make sure all the cables are connected.

If all of the above fail and you still receive no channels, you may need to resort to installing / adding a Digital Antenna Amplifier Booster to your existing antenna. We needed one as well, as we were having difficulties with any type of reception. Works great with excellent reception. A 5 minute install was about all it took.

Also, remember you may still need to rotate your antenna accordingly, for the different areas you're staying in, to achieve more channels.

How many channels can you expect to get?

There are some variables when scanning for channels. Depends on your locale, your tree surroundings, and how close you are to the towers. Sometimes you have to scan a couple of times while turning your antenna to find the perfect reception.

This past weekend we picked up 8 channels where we were located. Clear and Crisp too. I was very impressed for being in a pretty wooded area CG.

Depends on who still provides OTA channels in the area you are.
Also digital OTA signals don't travel as far as the old analog signals.
