Getting Channels

What You Need

• Antenna (“rabbit ears”) or outdoor antenna with coaxial cable

OR

• Coaxial cable with cable service

A. Do you have an indoor or outdoor antenna? If you don't, go to

step B. If you do, plug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall
outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT to receive free off-air
local digital and analog channels.

B. Do you have cable? If you don't, go to step C. If you do, plug

the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE
INPUT to receive your cable channels.

C. Do you have a set-top box? If you do, you need to call your cable

company or satellite service provider. They may use special cables
to allow you to view digital channels.

What You Need To Know

• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of

antenna to use to receive the local digital channels available to
you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you
what local analog and digital stations are available using a certain
antenna.

• As you change channels, look at the top right corner of the screen

to see what type of channel you’re viewing. Digital channels
display a D as part of the channel, such as D Ch 29.1, while
analog channels display an A as part of the channel, such as
A Ch 9. Go to page 16 for more channel information.
