Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Yvonne, whether this antenna will work with your 20-year-old Samsung TV depends on whether the TV has a built-in digital ATSC tuner. Older TVs, especially those manufactured before 2007, often have analog NTSC tuners, which are not compatible with today’s digital over-the-air broadcasts. If your TV only has an analog tuner, you will need a digital converter box to receive channels. You can check your TV’s Owner’s Manual or look up the model number online to confirm the type of tuner it has. If your TV does have a built-in ATSC tuner, you can connect the antenna, perform a Channel Scan through your TV menu, and start receiving available local channels. You can also check the available channels and their expected signal strength in your area using the FCC’s tool at https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps.
