you have to go to menu/channel and switch from air to cable then auto program

It goes in the Coax port TV, the old-school cable TV or TV antenna port, like the other answers said. Then, you have to set your TV to over-the-air or antenna in the menu, then you have to do a scan. I'm thinking if your not pulling any channels, hopefully its just because you need to run the scan.

There are words on the receiver that are hard to see but Make sure the short end of the coax is screwed into the TV coax and the long end from the antenna to the receiver (marked ANT) then make sure the power cord is plugged in, if it is plugged into a surge protector, make sure the surge protector is turned On. Auto-scan channels again. Does this help?

When you hooked it up also check your placement and adjust it a few times in different directions.Each adjustment you make you may have to re-scan the channels. I also found that the gain can be adjusted up or down to get maximum channel also. I found ths to be a geat antenna. Hope this helps!

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

Some channels seem to come in no matter where the antenna is pointed. you might need to rotate antenna forsome channels. Try that first before you give up on antenna.

Hi , I'm William ,I purchased this set a couple of months ago and at first I wasn't happy with it but I hooked it up to local cable and it gets all of the channels and I put it under my top kitchen cabinet and now I love it . Still trying to get it to play with the external antenna.

The tuner does not recognize channels based on your tv scan. The channels are based on a predefined database of channels programmed by directv based on zipcode. Try doing the setup over again with a different zip code that is close to the channels you are wanting to view/record. Or just do the setup with a far away zip code and then back to your zip just to sort of smack it into submission.... Just a thought.

This will NOT receive Directv HD. It is only set up to receive satelite 101W which is standard def only. It only has one transponder and for HD you need 3 (to get other satelites). It will probably not receive local channel either as they are usually on other satelites also.

Try the RCA Amplified indoor antenna ANT301F, Or scan channels on "other source and not air.I think maybe it isn't picking up the digital channels.My amp RCA antenna was 17 bucks It looks just like this one, diff model number.

Check that the setting is scanning air not cable. Have you moved the antenna? You can do an internet search to see what channels you can expect to find.

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

Sounds like you just need to run the scan tool and stay away from channels that have zero bars. In my area three channels have no bars.

Be glad you didn't get the Haier. I received mine Friday and I have been unable to get but only one channel and it isn't even clear. I saw other reviewers complaining about this but I thought that since I live in a metropolitan area that I wouldn't have any problems. Boy was I wrong. I am returning the Haier today and will try the Axion as I think the extra antenna they provide will do the trick.

This TV has a "QAM" tuner in it. Many/most cable companies broadcast the local network channels unencrypted, in HD. Do a channel scan, the TV will find them if Charter is sending them. This doesn't cost a penny more than what you are paying, you just plug the cable from the wall right into the TV. The channels will probably show up as "3-1, 6-1, etc" and on my samsung says "DTV Cable" instead of "Cable" before the channel. And to the above post by D. Snope, LCD TV's don't have the issue of "burn-in"! No worries about leaving pillar bars on the sides.

Well the ? I have is do you have a hdmi ready cable box ? If so you have the hdmi cable go from the cable box to the hdmi "out" on the receiver and then you will need another hdmi cable to come from the hdmi IN 3 (cab/sat) and plug that into the back of the tv. It is all done with hdmi cables. This is also the only way to get the set up menu to be viewed on your tv also. This is a great receiver so I hope it works out for you. I have had it for a week and it is so much better then my last 2 onkyo's !

Mine CH 18, and need more for different channels. How do I instruct AMAZON, or whomever necessary thru them, to send me different frequencies, so have units operate separately ? I bought 1st unit to test, and works great, but need others on different channels.
