converter

After scanning all channels the converter box says there is no signal,but I can get very good reception without the box now on my TV. Any help is greatly appreciated.

get an outdoor antenna

i'm guessing you are far away from the transmitters, outdoor antenna is probably best with a preamp as well

I have a large antenna on the outside about 20 feet tall. Now what????

go to tvfool.com put in your address and antenna height of 20 ft it will tell what you are suppose to get note if the stations are all UHF or Vhf or a combination of both if they are UHF and you have a VHF antenna then you would not get a signal on the digital stations.

The box could be defective. Take it back and exchange it for another one.

Btw, can you tell us the name brand of the box?

Thanks to you all. I will check the name of the box and post it tomorrow.

Are you sure you had the antenna correctly connected to the converter box? When I had to troubleshoot my uncles digital reception problem, his coax cable connector was bent, so it wasn't connecting completely to his converter box.
