Indoor antenna problem with Magnavox LCD TV Model 15MF605T/17

google magnavox 15mf605t/17 power cord

they are readily available on line for less than $10.00

you need antenna for the tv
if the tv is digital than in needs digital type antenna version
if you have analog tv than piece of wire, metal coat hanger, analog antenna version

analog versions:
you can pick up cheap at swap meets, yard sales, goodwill, where every they sale tvs, radio shack,walmart, target, homedepot, online,amazon.com, ebay, friend. and so on.

digital versions:
where every they sale tv, radio shack, online, amizon.com.

some digital and analog unit comes with a built in amplify this is very nice to have if you live in a big city or out in the country help with receiving amplified signal to the antenna receiver unit.

Try to turn it on with a remote if one is available. If you don't have the original remote you can look up the universal code for the cable or satellite remote. Also try to turn it on with the input source(vcr,video game, cable box,etc...) on first. I have the same TV and if it has no signal prior to manual power up it will go to standby mode.

its the same as a computer power cable you can find these all over the place. try ebay

The problem could be your antenna. Many people will buy small indoor tv antennas and wonder why they're not getting the signal that they want or the channels that they expect. Its not your fault. Digital signal is in two formats: UHF AND VHF. Some antennas only receive UHF. But many of the low band channels are VHF, so 1) you need an antenna that will receive those signals and 2) you need to know how and where to install that antenna and 3) you need to know if you need a signal amplifier depending on your coaxial cable length and number of connections. I recommend visiting dennys antenna service (no I don't work there and I have never purchased anything from that website. He just has an excellent informational article with a great deal of "how to" on his pages.). http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/2029710.html This should be of great help to you. Happy viewing =)

yes you will. either install an outside antenna or get a good amplified indoor antenna. try your old antenna first, but when your picture freezes or it says something like " weak signal " you will need that new antenna

I don't know the menu system on your model, but you have to check that the tuner is in the proper mode. Also, some of the new TV set models cannot receive a standard analog TV signal from its tuner.

As for the distance from the transmitter sight, this depends mostly on the antenna quality, antenna location, the power output of the transmitter sight, compatiblity of the TV to the received signal, and also the capability of the TV's tuner.

Modern TV sets are really designed to be used with a satellite or cable TV box with their respective service.

Terrestrial TV is dying out, and in a matter of a number of years, it will be gone.
