Why wont my antenna pick up local channels?
Weak Signal: If the digital antenna is not able to receive a strong enough signal, it may not be able to pick up channels.
This could be due to the antenna being too far away from the broadcast tower, or if there are obstructions between the antenna and the tower (such as buildings, trees, or mountains).
Why is auto tuning not finding any channels?
Check the cable connections between the TV and your video device or receiver.
Change the channel or try a different input device or movie.
The received signal may be weak.
If your TV uses a cable or satellite box, you may need to contact your service provider for further assistance in improving the signal strength.

If you’ve been wondering how to get local channels on a smart TV, you’ll either need to purchase a high-definition digital TV antenna or download a free app or two from your TV’s app store.

Why is my digital antenna not finding channels?
If hills, trees, buildings, or other geographic features are in between the broadcast towers and the antenna, the signals might not be able to reach your antenna.
