It depends on your particular TV, but for practically all modern TVs, it goes something like this: Press the "menu" button on your remote, and look for something like "channels" or "channel scan" and follow the prompts on your TV screen. Your TV will scan for the channels your antenna can receive and store them in memory. Then you can scroll through them for your shows. Some TVs may create an on-screen guide for you. You can also use your smartphone or tablet to search for tvguide.com to obtain your local OTA (Over-The-Air) listings.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most TVs have a channel set up menu. Connect your antenna to the coax input, then go to the channel set up menu and select search. The TV will then use the antenna to find all stations that are within range. This will include any major network stations as well as independents. Keep in mind that the range is 40-60 miles, so some rural areas that are far from the station transmitters, or have tall mountains between you and the transmitter, you will not be able to receive their signal. But for urban and suburban areas, this works great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Get your TV's manual (or fiddle with the remote) and find out how to run the scanner for finding channels.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.After install and placement of the antenna go to settings on the TV and run a search for channels. This will take about 5-10 minutes.
