Antenna unrecognized. Am using Buckeye Cablsystem, which has dropped a favorite local channel. TV does not recognize an antenna input port. Do I need an A/B switch? Cablesystem is not connected to antenna input. Tried everything in TV's menu to setup digital search with the digital antenna connected. Stumped!

    Buckeye Cablesystem gave me an antenna (rabbit ears and hoop). Made connect on TV and powered it up. Did an auto search for digital channels; none found. What else would you like to know?

Sometimes the TV will lock out other inputs when a cable is connected. Try the antenna by itself and put the TV in Channel scan mode. If this works reconnect the cable TV cable. If that doesn't work you may need an A/B switch

SOURCE: internal antenna

It sounds like the TV justs has a insufficient internal antenna system. If you can put an external antenna on this sytem do so just to test it.

SOURCE: I am using my KDL40V5500

Hi,
Antenna input on tv, KDL-40V5500 does not have or provide any volts to LNA etc. Antenna input is to receive RF signal (digital or analog) by Ariel / antenna located in open air for better performance.
Dish preamp gets volts from dish receiver that is specifically designed for that.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.

Why does my tv continually drop antenna tv channels. I have to rescan tv several times a day

Assuming that we talking about digital channel could be couple reasons. First- too small antenna or in wrong location. Usually at evening, night hours there is less interference from cars, running electrical equipment etc reception is better. Far away stations reception is also better at night. Trees, houses etc also affect reception. If you in USA you can use site: antennaweb.org to determine correct antenna and direction to receive channels in your location.

I dont have a remote and im trying to set up a digital tv antenna but the only channels im getting is 3 and all the video inputs. How to i program channels

Hello,

Usually channel 3 is picked up on a channel scan when there is an input device connected to the TV via a Coaxial Cable, thus using only channel 3 on the TV itself and using the Digital converter box to tune in the channels.

The TV will need to be Digital ready to connect only a Digital Antenna to it and programmed to receive the Digital Broadcasts over the air. If you are certain that this TV is Digital Ready (TV manufactured from 2009 to the present) you can use the menu button on the top, side, or front of the television, then use the channel / volume buttons to move around the menu, and the input button as the enter button.

You will want to select Antenna (ATSC) signal before starting the auto program so the TV will be able to recognize the Digital Channel Broadcasts.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Scott

We have a prizmo tv and I want to get just local channels. bought a antenna. then what?

You need to look for the settings for the input type. It is usually cable or antenna (digital). Switch to antenna.
Then you need to look for 'auto find' channels, so it can scan to locate and set the channels in your area.

Your TV must have an internal digital TV tuner (ATSC) in order to get new digital broadcasts.

We lost local tv from Dish on one of the local channels. We want to use the TV (model LC-46D85U) to view the local channel. How do we get the TV to view in local over the air instead of the satellite. ...

Connect air antenna to RF(coax) input of tv. Go to the menu and look for channel setup.Select antenna and auto scan. When done scanning you should have whatever stations you are able to pickup. Connect Sat reciever to one of the other input on the tv. Then go to INPUT or SOURCE on remote and select tv for local and what ever input you sat box is connected to for dish.

Hello, I am currently having a problem with my Audiosonic KM0767 Standard Definition Set Top Box. When we first bought it we wired up all the plugs and it worked great. We then moved onto Foxtel...

did you switch the TV's incoming signal to digital antenna? For the cable box it was probably set to cable antenna or analog inputs, not all TV's have automatic switching for antenna feeds. My Mitsubishi has 1 digital and 1 analog antenna input and the cable box will only work through the antenna input if it's the analog antenna input and it's tuned to channel 3 or 4, -(or through a seprate HDMI, PROSCAN, SVCR,or a yellow RCA plug input)- and when the analog antenna input is selected the TV will tune all analog cable channels that the cable service offers if a box is not used. likewise the TV will not tune any channels at all if it's set to digital antenna inputs. It will tune all local channels only when set to digital antenna inputs.
