Samsung TV with Built in Freeview....Only one Channel?

Bought a small TV for bedroom with built in freeview. Tuned in automatically, but I can only get Channel 4, there are some HDMI cables in the box, do I need to do anything with these? When I try to turn over to other channels I get none, what am I doing wrong? I'm useless at this type of stuff, any advice appreciated.

Update:

Its with an outdoor aerial.

    Have your area gone digital ?

    There should be either a DVB button on your controls or you will be able to access DVB through the input/av button once DVB is selected it should offer to install automatically.

    And as for indoor aerials my father in law just has his in the loft and is receiving many perfect digital channels.

    Source(s): I had to tune two TV's in for my father in law as our area went completely digital last week. I also guided my 71 year old Mother to tune hers in over the phone. and my teenage son did his own.

    If you have an indoor aerial, that's your problem.

    Indoor aerials are useless for Freeview. If you want a good, clear signal you need a roof aerial - there is no other way.

    That's the problem with freeview. You must have a good signal from an outdoor antenna, otherwise it won't work.
