use of Toshiba 15LV505 15.6-Inch with antenna? Has anyone used this tv for over air reception successfully?

Yes and its worked perfectly with an RCA ANT1550 Large Multi-Directional Digital Flat Amplified Antenna (White) we purchased about a year and a half ago to go with another small TV which is now in the trash! This combination is fabulous and there is no static of flippy picture/reception whatsoever!!! Turns out it was the inferior COBY TV set and NOT the antenna! With this 15" Toshiba and the above-mentioned antenna we pull in approximately 15-20 stations within a 35-mile radius and they are all clear and crisp! We very pleased as it's used for early morning and dinner-time news and weather, only! Beats paying more money in our cable bill! Good Luck!

Cable won't go thru a wall to install cable so what is the best antenna for a kitchen to get some viewing time on this TV on Long Island, NY? I have no conversion box...what is the smallest, cheapest and best way? Thanks

This TV has great picture but, the supplied antenna is good only for a good strong signal and will not pickup in a moving vehicle. I connected mine to a $50 outside antenna and WOW at the extra channels. Even comes with a remote. Only drawback you cannot select a certain channel until you have done a channel scan for what's available in the area that you are in. (ex.) You cannot just punch in channel 7 if it has not picked it up and saved after the channel search has finished. And I do love mine!

We use an over the air antenna for the local channels. It picks up around 20 channels and they are all high definition.

I am still confused. But I have ordered one and will get it tomorrow. I am gonna have a look and post here. If this TV doesn't have a QAM tuner (what an insane design), I will return it immediately.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee that this item will work with an over air antenna. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Not being an expert on all things Television, but assuming a flat-screen TV is of modern design, I would think the digital convertor is built-in as with the JVC TV I bought to go with this antenna. The Terk flat antenna I purchased for $40 is a vast improvement. In my little town, the Terk has pulled in a handful of antenna AND digital stations, so I can't complain. And as they say in many car and law firm and medicine commercials, "Your results may vary". Good luck!

Is there another TV that you can try the antenna with? Are you sure the adapter for the connector on the RCA receiver is the right one and inserted correctly. I had problems getting a connector that worked.

Thanks for the kind response. Unfortunately, none of the efforts resulted in this TV to scan all digital and analog channels under the same "digital and analog channel search" function.Amazon.com support was excellent in sending a new replacement with just a simple phone call, as this unit apparently has a faulty tuner.

No, that's not what I meant. By "Off-Air HDTV Reception" I meant broadcasts received off-air as opposed to cable broadcasts. It's intended for use watching live analog and HD broadcasts from network affiliate stations. (read traditional over-the-air type TV broadcasts)

I have been very happy with the quality of my LG tv - my father-in-law has a Toshiba and he says it's only an okay tv. I've also lost some trust in Toshiba as we have had several of their laptops at work crap out on us so I don't have as high of an opinion of Toshiba quality as I do for other brands.

I really do not know. The only reason I am responding to this is that you should send it back. I had two of those ... the first was replaced but after 6 months the second one went bad. Amazon did not help since it was after 3 months and Toshiba was absolutely no help. Hopefully you have better luck. I am surprised it does not say on the TV itself.

Thanks for the feedback Frank, I appreciate it.So in theory, the monitor should be able to get OTA signals, but possibly due to weak signal reach, it won't, hence the need for an antenna... Makes sense.

Some obvious questions first must be asked. Is it plugged into a power source and it it connected directly to the TV/receiver?Was the carton in which it was shipped damaged in any way which may indicate a damaged antenna?How many local channels are available in your area, maybe your range from sources only allows the success that you have?

I really dont have the answer...but you could contact the company and they could help you....I just know that it works really well with my direct tv satellite receiver and the antenna for over the air tv...

I have had no problems with this antenna. Channels come in clear and I have actually got more channels than before. It depends on how many over the air channels you have in your area but you should pull all of them in.

Richard Salter,It sure does. The UN32H5500 has a digital tuner included for Over The Air broadcasts.Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions.--Mr. S
