Antennas (USA): How do I tune in my channels after I have installed the antenna?

Make sure you do perform a channel scan on your TV or set-top box after you plugged in and tuned you antenna. Each time you rotate the antenna or re-position the antenna, you must re-scan for channels on your TV.

The way this is done varies per TV brand, so please check the user manual of your TV model or contact your TV manufacturer for the correct instructions.

Below you will find the generic steps to follow to perform a channel search:
  • Press MENU button on your remote and look for something like SCAN, SETUP or INSTALL.
  • Make sure the tuner mode of your TV is set to ANTENNA or AIR. If it is set to CABLE or something else, change this first.
  • Choose CHANNEL SCAN. This may also be called AUTO PROGRAM, AUTO TUNING, AUTO SCAN, AUTO SEARCH or CHANNEL SEARCH.
  • Please allow your TV a number of minutes to complete its channel scan. Depending on the number of stations in your area, this process can take from a few seconds to several minutes.

Please keep in mind all televisions have different set up procedures: processes can differ from the instructions above.
