Hi disgruntled, indoor antenna performance depends heavily on your location and the strength of local broadcast signals, as well as placement inside the home. Also, if a channel scan wasn’t run after connecting the antenna, the TV may show no channels at all. Please make sure the antenna is connected to the TV’s antenna/cable (RF/coax) input and run a channel scan through the TV menu (sometimes labeled Auto Program, Channel Scan, Auto Scan, or Channel Search). Placement matters a lot—try positioning the antenna higher up and near a window, and if your antenna is amplified, confirm the amplifier is powered before scanning. Any time the antenna is moved, run a new scan. Some areas have limited over-the-air coverage; you can check expected signal and tower locations here: https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps
