Bear with me, I'm super new to all things over-the-air, antenna related.
Here's a link to my report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d03d9910471d72b
I have an LG LCD TV, model 32LC7DC. I have tried many many times unsuccessfully to get channels. I've used the EZScan feature. I've had the TV set to TV, DTV, CATV & CADTV. Which one of these SHOULD it be set to? I'm assuming simply using EZScan without an antenna hooked up isn't going to do jack?
We have merely TWO cable companies here. One is very expensive, the other only offers sattelite in our location & overcharged us by $20 every single month, no matter how many times I called. So we cancelled, got Netflix, but would love to watch basic channels [esp. for seasonal shows like Big Brother & Hell's Kitchen]. The more channels we can get the better BUT I'm okay with simply having access to GTV [Global] which airs a lot of the content we like & also CTV would be nice. I'm esp. okay with only being to access 2-3 channels we want vs. a lot if it's a lot less time consuming & easier to try to gain access to those 2. I see GTV & CTV are in green on my report, so shouldn't they be easy peasy to access? Do I just need a set-top type antenna? Any recommendations?
I always thought you just plugged the coaxial cable from the wall into your TV & you'd automatically get 2-3 local channels in good quality. Guess not.
