[QUOTE="riddley, post: 2468, member: 430"]Hello all, I am having trouble getting a television to work with a digital antenna. The tv is an HDTV sharp aquos. I bought a phillips dtv indoor antenna hoping to pick up all the extra channels out there now. I figured since I live only about a mile from the transmission towers, an indoor model would suffice. The tv has two coax sockets, one marked "AIR IN" and "CABLE" -- I plugged the antenna into the air socket, and when I tried to use the "Antenna Setup-DIGITAL" function on the tv's soft menu, the entry was grayed out -- it wouldnt allow me to do the setup. I did the search for channels thing anyway -- alot of analog channels come up but no digital ones:( Plugging the antenna into the cable slot yields similar results. So, while I realize this may be a model specific problem, I was hoping that maybe someone here has come across a similar problem and could offer some advice on how to set this tv up to recieve digital broadcasts. Thanks for any insight, riddley[/QUOTE]
