LED and OLED TVsPurchased the following TV in 2018:
Samsung - 55" Class -LED - Curved - MU6500 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV with HDR
I just purchased an external antenna to get local programming; however, the TV gets no channels when the network cable is disconnected. I do not have cable and only stream through the internet. I would like to receive channels that are only picked up by the antenna.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

CONNECTING AND POSITIONING THE ANTENNA
1 - Properly connect the antenna to your TV. The USB is for power, and the coax cable is for the input signal.
2 - Place the antenna in a good location.
NOTE: It may take a few tries to determine the best location as the signal strength can be weak in some places and stronger in others. I found that hanging the antenna inside the living room on an exterior wall about 12 inches from the ceiling provided the strongest signal.
SCANNING FOR CHANNELS
1 - Press the HOME button on the remote. It has a picture of a house on it.
2 - Use the navigation ring on the remote to move to the LIVE TV icon. It will become enlarged.
NOTE: If the LIVE TV icon is not already on the menu bar, you can search for it in the apps that are on your TV and add it to the bar/home.
3 - With the navigation ring on the remote, move up to the GUIDE icon.
4 - Press the SELECT button located in the middle of the navigation ring on the remote. The channel guide will appear on the screen.
5 - Press the COLORED DOTS button on the remote. It does not matter which channel is highlighted in the channel guide.
6 - Use the navigation ring on the remote to highlight the ANTENNA icon and press the select button located in the center of the navigation ring.
7 - Select AIR on the Antenna Type box that will appear on the screen and close the Antenna Type box.
8 - Press the HOME button on the remote and highlight the SETTINGS icon.
9 - Press the select button on the remote located in the middle of the navigation ring. The SETTINGS menu will appear.
10 - Use the navigation ring to highlight BROADCASTING and then select AUTO PROGRAM.
11 - When given the option to select cable, air, or both, select BOTH.
12 - Once the scan is completed, close the pop-up box.
NOTE: At this point, you should see the channels that are being received through the antenna in the guide. Each channel will have a blue dot beside it containing a number.
ACCESS THE LIVE TV MENU
1 - Press the HOME button on the remote.
2 - Highlight the LIVE TV icon.
3 - Highlight and select the CHANNEL LIST icon.
Best of luck to you.
