I have a rocky television. I bought an antenna from Walmart nothing. What can I do to get some kind of channels without paying for it. Struggling mother just needs to be able to watch the news and weather at least. Unfortunately, not everyone will be in a location that gets good reception using an antenna. A clear line of sight to the outside makes for the best reception. Most of the HD TV antennas are directional so they need to be pointed in the direction of the towers.
There is a website that you put in your ZIP code and it will tell you what direction to point the antenna and how far away the towers are.
It will also tell you what channels you should get. I pick up about 80 channels here in AZ. You could try a digital converter box. Then use remote that comes with converter box to scan for channels. I tore down my dish from the side of my house and made a planter out of it.
Then unplugged everything from my older flat screen TV. Been two years without cable of any kind. Occasionally move antenna and rescan. Must say however I did eventually invest in one of those 30 dollar flat antennas you put in the window to get better reception and I got it.
Never used it because we had cable. Just moved and cable is too expensive, so I thought about the paperclip and then remembered I had the rabbit ears. The U-shaped clips had been stripped off, so I was able to twist the exposed wires to create a single input wire and stick it into the cable hole of our flat-screen kitchen TV.
Thank you, Beth! I just tried this hack on my TV and it picked up over 40 channels but there is no picture or sound. I get a square box in the middle of the TV that says Audio Only on some channels. I have re-scanned for channels several times but get the same result. I also tried hooking the tv up to an antenna but all I got was no-signal. I have the right antenna, researched where the broadcast tower is and best antenna for my location but no -signal. I have moved the antenna and tv to other locations in the house but still no signal.
I even tried the antenna with a different tv but still got no signal. What is frustrating about this is I live in an area that is slight hilly. I am at a higher elevation than these two neighbors and I get no signal. My cable bill just went up There has to be a way cut the cable cord once and for all. It could be a combination of things like the TV, the direction you face, the distance from the towers, the makeup of your home which blocks the signal, etc.
I have read the article on how to get free T. Can you help me to get this going. I would love to stick it to the cable companies who like to charge an arm and leg for there so called service. The best way would be to do a search for your TV model number and add manual at the end.
All fine and dandy until the cable company does a tap audit and decides to come after you for cable theft. I get it cable is expensive, but so is the infrastructure that delivers the service.
And leeching on the infrastructure can actually degrade the quality of service for paying subscribers. Not worth it folks. Trust me. This is in my own home that I do technically pay for, although my television decodes additional channels in-between the normal stations.
You need to find the manual for your particular television and look up how to manually scan for channels using the cable not the antenna option. Skip to content. Quick Summary. Thank you!
