Sorry - I didn't see your response until today.

With DTV signals, it's either all-or-nothing when it comes to reception...have you chosen the auto program feature on your TV to let it automatically search and add local DTV broadcasted channels?

Yes - since I lost the DTV channels I scan every day to check. I am limited to where I am able to move the antenna because the cable isn't that long.

One other thing I wanted to mention, would be to check the coax and making sure rf connector is not damaged. The connector will sometimes bend during the connection process, and not actually connect even though you've plugged it in. In my case, the connector broke off which gave me the obvious dark screen result.

I know nothing about this - is the coax cable the one that connects the TV to the antenna? If it is then it is working because on the analog channels the reception changes when I move it.

I called Samsung and since I am still in Warranty they will repair it if it is the TV but there are no service places in NYC at all so I am looking to get one of their authorized repair people to come to me.

Another question - it occurred to me that if the Digital receiver is somehow not working on my TV then the set became an analog TV and if I use a converter box then that ought to give me the signal - right?

Thanks!
Susan
