Get the Picture

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 not, go to step B. If so, 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 so, 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 so, you may need to call your cable company or satellite service provider. They may recommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.

What You Need To Know
