No tv reception with new indoor antenna
Well I just did this last night.
Its funny how everybody forgets to explain the basic tehnical stuff like setup and channel scaning.
We did not get any channels at first. but because I read internet a lot before on the subject, I knew that I had to do "channel scan".
ok first go to setup.. you have things on your tv changer or .. on the tv itself on the side back of it.
We have a new tv. Flat tv. if yuou have an old one you might have to get the digital exchanger thing that somebody mentioned previously.
If you do have flat newer tv..
first set up the tv to respond to antenna.
as the source.
then.. I had something that said.. digital off , and also antenna off. I had to change that to .. whatever other choice came up first.. and there were a lot of choices, like cc1 cc2 t1 t2 and so on.
I changed it to c1 or cc1 something like that.. on analog. that got us few channels. then I changed the digital one also to something.
I still have to tinker with it.. but we had only few channels and they are clear.
A yes also, after you change your tv setup to "source" antena, and after you change that analog from off to another choice, and digital off to another choice, then you do channel scaning. it will go through bunch of channels on top and then say how many channels it has found in analog and or digital.

Hello
you haven't given the brand name and model numbe of TV here. yet I posts this solution assuming that it to be LCD tv. You says that the Tv works with converter and not works with digital box. Check the digital box for any malfunction. I can oly give you this much advice as your post does not tell exatly what the fault is. If you want anymore assistance from me, please be clear out the situation you faces now. OK.

make sure you are in the tv mode first or you will not be able to access the setup mode and make sure you run setup

Your TV has to have a digital tuner. If you get to the input for digital tuner it will display the channels with decimal points 2.1, 2.2, etc. If you do not see that you have an analog tuner or cable ready.
Try changing the inputs until you get digital channels. If not, go to the store and purchase digital converter box...40 bucks

'Clear' can mean different things-
The 'front end' of TV sets can differ greatly in the sensitivity of its tuner.
If you have 'snow,' then the new set is inferior to your previous one and you may need to buy an external broadband amplifier to boost the signal before it goes to the TV.
The quality of antenna inputs has declined since there are fewer owners (by percentage) who depend on 'over the air' reception.
Cable companies and satellite receivers supply a lot more signal than can your antenna so the input sensitivity is not as critical as it once was.
The demo sets one sees at retailers are fed a lot of signal and have for that reason a better picture than you might find after getting a set home.
