Lynne, Your problem probably lies in your antenna or its placement. Is it an outdoor antenna? Is it one of the old big VHF antennas from many years ago? Search the internet for TVFOOL or DTVusaforum, they will help you out.I get 40+ channels on this TV using a DB4e antenna.

If you live in a digital broadcast area no antenna should be needed. The set is new enough that it should also not require the special box from a couple years ago. I just have basic cable hooked up to it and had to program the tv twice to get all analog and digital channels.

It is a website. But people ask stuff all the time. I'd try geek.com maybe not sure.

-Some channels might be directly HD, and will work only through the use of a cable box. -Antennas are so old fashioned at this point, that the signal might not be strong for those particular channels -- if you perhaps could explain further which channels you are not getting I can be of more help. -Use a TV provider if anything, cheap and affordable, and you can configure their remote to work with the TV.

first go to DTV.gov. this will talk you through aiming the antennae and how far the broadcasters are from your friends house.second make sure if it is an older antennae that you use new coax and preferably have an outdoor antennae. when they switched to digital the lowered the power output, so some channels you used to be able to get in very easily will not come in now.make sure after you make any changes that you re-scan for channels. this must be done so the television actually looks for them.

We have Roku on ours and we have an HD cable hooked up from Roku to tv and we have the source on HDMI1. Sorry, other than that, I can't help you.

This TV is "not supported" by the Directv 3D channels. Sometimes it works and sometimes there is an error message. It all just depends on how Directv is broadcasting the signal.

Sounds silly but are you sure you have the tv set to the proper input setting? (my tv has 4 hdmi inputs) wish I could be more helpful

I have Direct TV and I can assure you I have never experienced anything but a flawless picture from my set except for the odd super storm which is very rare. I think you need to look to your provider as I believe it to be a cable issue.

Firdy reccomendation is to rescan channels, if that doesn't fix it, then try adjusting antenna. I have to move my antenna between FOX & CBS. I purchased a larger antenna for home & it helps, has 2 masts & round antenna and is AC powered.

u will get ur local unscrambled channels,i have two of these and love them it will take a while to go thru the channels and set them up. No coax port on a tv? whats next? looks like u will have to rent a box maybe that was the plan all along by not adding a coax port. would like to know what brand it is if u dont mind.Or is this a monitor/display u are using?

It's in our camper as well. Just at a place w/cable hook ups and tried it. Seemed to only pick up the analog channels but I'm not totally sure I'm doing it right!

I have Xfinity and have signal issues too, however, I took my comcast equipment back and picked up a Samsung Smart Media box that works as a smart hub and cable box, picked up a cable card to use in the samsung box. My picture improved remarkably. I am still getting some channels with "weak or no signal" on a number of channels. I am going to try this device.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

I haven't had this particular message but have had "failed to receive signal" displayed. The additional antenna I purchased from Amazon is better than the one included with the TV. Moving the antenna just slightly can result in better signal reception. I have also used an amplified antenna which works even better.

the TV works with coax cable but requires some sort of converter to get a digital signal - preferraly an HD signal. Without a great signal you will not get a great picture. A mediocre/poor signal may look worse when it is expanded to a 65" screen

Hi.. I just did the same set-up and I use this: 1Byone 0.02" Paper Thin Digital Indoor TV Antenna-Aerial Type#0188... Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IF70UB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 It was an easy set-up and so far it is working very well. The TV is receiving every standard network, plus all the 60+ of weirdness on UHF. It was about $24 on prime. Good Luck with your search.

I had to go into the TV menu and do that "search for channels" thing before it would show anything. After that it just takes some adjusting the position of the antenna depending on where the signals are coming from. Better reception near windows.

did you do the setup again and tell it the correct antenna? not sure. Did you call directv?

Actually, that's what I'm using it with right now. Pulled it out of storage, got a second cable box, have it set to E1 instead of using its own tuner (to avoid any issues with channels changing unexpectedly again) and pulling in the channels via the cable box instead. Works fine using it that way.

you have to go to settings' installation, channels and then you change antenna to cable there before start scanning. I am sorry. I am not in front of my TV right now to give you precisely the steps. Good luck.

Make sure you have it on the right setting. Press menu then go to channel search. Look for service type. Mine was on "air" and I had it connected to the cable. Once I switched it to "cable", it searched fine. If you are using an antenna, make sure the antenna setting is on. Good Luck, it is definitely low quality.
