How do I view tv without a cable or satellight connection?
I can't afford cable or satelight. I just want to get the netowrks so I can watch the news and maybe some evening programs.
I bought an antenna with rabbit ears but my tv said no signal. I have a small digital hdtv.

The Broadcast Network TV stations are available for reception with an antenna and an digital TV set.
After hooking up the antenna you MUST do an auto channel scan to read the channel information into the TV sets memory. (One time only). Use the antenna/air/broadcast setting for the scan.
If you still get NO signal you, the rabbit ear antenna is not good enough, you will need an antenna with more gain. Either an amplified antenna or an outdoor antenna.
Over the air broadcast TV in the U.S. is available in just about every town with the proper antenna.

An antenna and a digital TV is all you need.
You will need to go into the tVs setup and do a channel scan.
There is a good chance that your rabbit ear antenna is not prowerful enough to receive a signal.

Put your zip code or address in here.
This will show you the stations in your area. Pay special attention to the color. A rabbit ear type antenna will only be able to receive stations in your area that are yellow or green. If your stations are blue, red, purple, you will need a larger outside antenna.
