Sharp Aqous LC-26D5U TV has the "Antenna-Digital" grayed out

I am having problem setup the indoor antenna for receiving digital channel on this TV. When I setup to "TV" and "Air", and tried to go to scan the channel using antenna at the "Setup", I saw the "Antenna Setup - DIGITAL" is grayed out. I can not scan the channels on this TV for receiving digital TV channels with antenna. I've seen a few similar postings online. Does anyone have experience on this with solutions? Thank you!

SOURCE: I have a Westinghouse 26 inch TV.

I carried my Westinghouse TV to the basement. Unplugged the antenna from the digital converter box and connected it to my digital TV. I then re-scanned for channels and found channel 9. After carrying the Westinghouse TV back upstairs, I connected the original set-up and tuned to channel 9 which was now showing on the screen as no signal. From that point I moved my VHF dipoles until I had located the correct position for reception. A little labor intensive, but I was fortunate to have another antenna that was receiving channel 9.

SOURCE: cannot change input from antenna to cable as it is

Normally, the cable input will only be available if a "live" cable or satellite box is connected to the other end.
You may also have to go through a setup routine to enable the cable input. Please check your manual.

SOURCE: Sharp Aquos LC 32G4U not receiving any channels-

Most locations are real hard to get local stations using indoor antennas. If you are in a location where you do not have cable, I would try either a outside antenna on the roof or go with Direct TV Dish / Dish Network system.
I hope this helps,

Hooked up to antenna did channel scan in air mode not getting any channels. Hooked up a Vizio tv to same antenna line and got all the locals. Maybe something wrong with the Sharp?

Make sure that Sharpe is set to over the air/antenna and not cable. There are more than one scan modes. http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTVs/Manuals/tel_man_LC42_46_52D65U.pdf

See page 14 in the link. It is easy to mis-configure the setup to not receive the over the air digital channels. The input must be set to digital and air in setup. The VHF are no longer available.

Hope this helps?

How do I attach an antennna?

On the back of the TV look for the connector marked Ant/cable. This is a silver connection with threads on it. If you have a digital indoor antenna, connect it there. Same goes if you have an outdoor antenna. Now go to the setup screen and select AIR for antenna type. After that do a channel search and select digital and analog channels. Let the TV find all the stations it can. When it's done searching, it will show a picture. You may need to aim the antenna to get a better picture .

Sharp dtv e202 error was received

Try just changing the channel to the one set up to receive broadcasts. That worked for me-- the TV was working great until I pressed Input and for some reason that changed the channel away from channel 60, which is the one programmed to receive broadcasts from Dish Network. When I entered 60, the message went away and I got my programming back.

Sharp digital tv cannot receive digital signal

This television would benefit from an hdtv indoor outdoor amplified antenna not obstructed by trees, aluminum, bricks, and etc. Make sure the signal type is air and not cable and complete a channel scan during primetime tv hours after connecting to this antenna. Buy a large one that you can mount to the wall usually in a large flat box on the shelf in the store. Philips has one sold at Walmart.

Does my LC-13S2U have a digital tuner?

Going over you manual for the tv, it doesn't have a digital tuner.
You'll need a digital converter box for broadcast channels.
Indoor antenna will work. But, an outdoor antenna will work best for reception.
If you need a copy of your manual, you can download one with this link:

Sharp Aquos LC-52D64U LCD-52 wdscrn tht won't scan in digital...

Seeing that you have a superior brand and not getting channels is a bummer. It may have to do with the setting, make sure you're set to cable rather antenna and then do a rescan. Btw, often times channels from an over the antenna is much clearer than from cable because cable tv has to compress the signal. If you're high in the air like the top floor of a building a cheap $10 will pull in great free digital channels. It helps to experiment and read the troubleshooting guide in your manual.

37 inch Sharp Aquos. "Failed to receive Broadcast [E202]"

This is basically a message for no signal on the tv, make sure the tv itself is on the correct input for the type of cable used. The inputs are labled by numbers on the back of the tv. The input can be changed by the button on the side panel of the tv.
