There has to be an antenna because carriers here have encrypted all channels and you can't get reception on cable TV without the boxes.
Did you try a few antennas?
I just moved house and I connected my tv using a standard ariel lead from the wall socket to my tv, re-tunned my tv but it won't find a single channel. Am I missing something simple or is it bad news??? I'm not great on any tech issues, suggestions and help would be appreciated. Thanks.
