Indoor antenna won't work on my cable ready set

good luck as almost impossible without the remote to do much with this set, the manual you might be able to google.

You need to subscribe to cable or satellite. OR try an HD OTA (over the air) antenna. For best results you should get a directional antenna and point it in the direction of your nearest transmitter.

Indoor HD antennas don't work well unless you are very close to the transmitting tower. You really want to be on the roof, as high as practical without tall. Here is a fantastic resource that will tell you all you need to know about antennas

This site will help you point it.

If you have multiple transmitters that you want to pick up you may want to use an antenna rotor that will allow you to point the antenna in the direction of the transmitter without the hassle of climbing onto the roof.

I'm sure there are local antenna installers if you are uncomfortable with climbing your roof or running the wire.

Hope this helps.

You either may have the set on Cable setting or the signal is too weak for the set to pick up the channels---indoor antennas have a very limited range and many channels have ended on air broadcasts completely

Most locations are real hard to get local stations using indoor antennas. If you are in a location where you do not have cable, I would try either a outside antenna on the roof or go with Direct TV Dish / Dish Network system.

Put tv on air, connect antennae to the coaxil input on back of tv.
You can also go to tv's menu and find the "autoprogram" feature and select it. Let it run thuroughly until it is done searching all available channels. Tv. may need to be on channel 3 or 4 to use the antennae/converter box

yes you will. either install an outside antenna or get a good amplified indoor antenna. try your old antenna first, but when your picture freezes or it says something like " weak signal " you will need that new antenna

Your TV does have a digital tuner in it already. Also a converter box is only needed if you use an Antenna to recieve TV. So if you have Cable or Satillite, you will not need a box at all.

I want to use two (2) 311 dish receivers with only 1 outside antenna.

The TV is just HD ready (doesn't have the HD tuner built-in), you need a separate HD tuner connected to your TV.
