I am trying to hook up an antenna to my Samsung 4k HD Smart TV.  When I go to the Source menu, there is no source for the antenna.  If I click on the TV option, it brings me to TV Plus instead of prompting me to scan for over the air channels.  Also, when I go to Settings and then Broadcast, the Broadcast option is greyed out.  My TV is connected to the Internet.  I checked for updates and there were none.  Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

You must first select TV or TV Plus depending on TV model or age to put the TV in broadcast antenna mode . This will cause Broadcast TV to no longer be grayed out. Now go to settings and select Broadcast TV the Scan Channels. Ffor more detail see the following  link:

I purchased a Samsung series 7 TU7000 Crystal UHD TV a few days ago. I am so frustrated and disappointed. I also have antenna hooked up as I do not want a satellite service. The older TV (not smart TV) has 138 digital and 3 analog channels. The new Samsung gets MAYBE 9 channels, yet it scanned in 16 (7 of which say mode not supported, or not available. Can't even get Fox News app.

Hi. I had the same issue. It does not come up under antennae input.

Go to settings/broadcast/auto program

Select "air' for how to get your channels.

Make sure Antennae is close to a window.

It will scan and then place the Live TV icon on your hub.

Good luck.
