Thank you Terry, I am an elderly man, and my grandkids are too busy to help me, so this guide really helped.

[@TerryB751]

You're very welcome.

[@user-dg4md3pb4i]

Thank you, Terry! Excellent instructions - clear and to the point! A huge help in setting up my brand new Samsung "smart" tv for over the air channels. Nothing that came with the tv was of any help at all!

[@Virglee-hy1rt]

Holy cow! This was a perfect description for my Samsung 6 Series. I searched for an hour before I found this and it worked great.

[@Meela234]

Thank you soooo much! I was about ready to return this antenna for no reception, but I was not setting it up right. Your instructions are clear and concise. It's working now 😊

[@mariomendoza6419]

Does your channels the programes go to Samsung plus tv ??

[@cyproxi3607]

Me too was about to return my antenna but tried it on another tv, that tv must have already had searched for the channels, probably my dad set it up haha so then I thought maybe my tv was broken (it’s a brand new 1400$ TV) but this guide worked! 🙏🏼

[@camdan437]

I've got a Samsung 8 series. This definitely helped. Thank you!

[@D_2387]

Thank you! This worked! They sure don't make em like they used to. Whatever happened to the days of simply being able to plug in an antenna and begin watching TV lol

[@crunchers9]

Or plugging in the antenna to a VCR, or DVD-R and then watching it on tv? GONE!

[@Tina-xj9rj]

Thank you so much. My kids bought me a smart TV for Christmas. Was gonna get cable but just attached my antenna with your instructions. I’m perfect with my antenna. Love it.

[@ericaanderson9632]

This was a very helpful guide. It worked just in time for the Super Bowl 2024 🎉

[@user_j738]

what channel did you use to watch the Super Bowl?? I’m trying to set it up right now to watch as well!

[@melaniegillard499]

Same here

[@ceasarshredz714]

Same here

[@cadillacchris7771]

Same 🎉

[@ProducedI]

Wow!!! This even works for the new cu7000 series thanks I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t have an option to choose input antenna

[@patrickm7316]

Thank you sir!!! I went an entire day trying to figure this out but you helped me in minutes.

[@cyproxi3607]

Facts bro me too was trying to fix it all day nothing worked and I had my antenna working within 5 mins after watching this video.

[@minnesotahomepro]

Thank you! I finally resolved my issue on how to use an external antenna with my Samsung 8 smart tv. I’ve reviewed countless blogs and no one solved my issue except you!! The key was knowing how to get out of the Samsung TV default menu. Thanks again.

[@liztheblessedone2666]

July 26, 2023..Thanks soo much for your very valuable instructions..🎉👏👏

[@khloesilverado]

Thank you Terry!! This was so helpful - much more helpful than the directions our box had. 😅

[@ScorpioMojo]

TYVM, your step by step guide, enabled me to correctly activate my antenna. Appreciate you ☺️

[@dawnalley3827]

Thanks, I'm not sure why someone would say this wasn't helpful because it helped me

[@amberlavette5744]

Omg! I’ve been searching online for over an hour on connecting the antenna to my Samsung Frame TV. I finally got on KZbin and your video showed me in less than five minutes. Thank you!

[@TerryB751]

Thanks for watching. I'm glad it worked.

[@NIGHTROCKER70]

Appreciate you trying to help ✌ For some reason when I select "Live TV Air" I don't get that GUIDE option to choose. That is exactly what I need! Because when I press the channel up or down button, it takes me right to Samsung TV channel 1000. Trying to figure it out for my Mom, and her tv. Thx again, hopefully I can figure it out.

[@nevadamesa6979]

Great Video, Thanks Much. You're right about the tight fit on the Samsung, we have pretty much the same TV & it took us forever to get the connector screwed on, It works now! 🙂

[@marcmatthews7977]

As these other comments before mine, EXCELLENT, CONCISE, AND CLEAR!!! Thank you for a job greatly done!!!

[@user-hq7kl8ky3g]

An excellent set of instructions. Worked like a charm! Came up with 247 channels. Thank you very much!👋👋👋

[@suann9407]

Thanks bro you save my life The tv didn't turn on for nearly years but today i jist bought thr the digital anthena and couldn't find a way to scan the channel Setting Broadcast Auto tuning And its work

[@a.j.greenough2760]

Thank you… the settings location and finding broadcast has changed, but your video helped a lot in properly set up my antenna. Needed it badly to watch game 3 of NBA Finals!!! Thank you!!!

[@mayorez70]

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I was about to break my TV and antenna both trying to set this thing up. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@jhern3230]

This was very helpful!!! I've been trying to figure this out on my own, I have a newer and different Samsung TV feom yours but still have the same functioning tabs to go to in order to program the antenna. 🍾🍾

[@Kkwnyy]

Thank you sooo much for being so thorough!!! I've been trying for weeks and I gave up but decided to try again and found your video...I'm all set ...thanks again

[@kssd71]

I was able to follow steps on my newer Samsung Smart TV and works GREAT!!! THANK YOU 2023.

[@timothymoore3218]

A little bit different set up than mine but Q60C but I got there. I appreciate it. I would never had found it without this video.

[@mayrac7833]

Thank you!! I could not figure out how to set this up for the life of me! You're video was so detailed, I got it figured out immediately.

[@Joshua.mcaloon]

Very helpful!!

[@nicholasroberts5545]

I was setting up my grams tv and this saved the day lol, thank you

[@anydaynow01]

Thanks man, just upgraded to a Q70 and it only has HDMI and coax, couldn't even use my RCA cables, luckily I found my SNES coax patch cable and it still works. After about a half hour of watching other videos and trying to find an instruction manual online in less than 5 minutes you solved my issues! Just a tip for others hooking up game consoles it has to be turned on and sending a signal for the TV to pick it up and assign it a channel. So weird "tuning into" channel 3 to play games again after all these decades!

[@DianeMarie85]

I set up my other Samsung tv with the same antenna after disconnecting cable - no problem at all. This time, I don’t know what happened but used this video and now I’ve got a real mess to try and clean up. Sorry I’m sure it works for others; my Samsung tv is a 2018 but wow.

[@DeniseFarris]

Thank you so much! My tv and remote is a little different but close enough that I could follow this. Really appreciate you posting this!!!

[@gracecanby4266]

Verrrrrry very helpful. Got it set up in seconds. Thank you!

[@juanhaley1525]

@TerryB751, your video was VERY HELPFUL for me. As I searched Samsung for information on how to allow my HDTV antenna to be activated and found nothing. Your video was the most accurate and very helpful for me. Thank you for posting this video!!!!

[@windsofchangefarm884]

Clear and concise instructions. You really simplified this process!

[@cyproxi3607]

Bro thank you!!! I couldn’t get my local basketball game on KZbin TV (76$) or sling TV (55$) even with purchasing NBA league pass. I tried hooking up an antenna and it just wasn’t working. This actually worked and I could watch the game on my local channel thanks so much man!

[@darreinwhitesr3813]

That was very informative couldn't figure out why my live tv app went away, but your instructions got it back on..thanks

[@iBePlaya]

Thank you! It scanned my live vcr and now I can watch old home movies on my smart tv!

[@cheo12170]

My wife had me in the dog house we had no local channels thank you terry god bless

[@TerryB751]

Glad to help.

[@Jup2com]

Thanks for this video! I pulled out an old Nintendo game system from the closet and wanted to see if it still worked nearly 40 years from new and I couldn't figure out how to access the coaxial input on my 65" LCD TV. Followed your instructions for AIR Channels here and Voila! On the list of channels, channel 3 became available and my Nintendo from 1986 is playing on my Samsung LCD! 👍 Thanks again!

[@TerryB751]

Glad to hear that you've resurrected your old game system on the 65 inch TV.

[@natalieboone2688]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! Been driving us nuts for months since we got the antennae!

[@mikebarnum5041]

Exactly what I needed! Thanks! 320 new channels…sweet.

[@Treezer]

This video was very helpful it worked for me thank you. Anyone who says otherwise obviously doesn’t have the proper equipment Or maybe they can’t comprehend simple instructions.

[@TerryB751]

Thanks. Ironically, it was a close friend who was suffering the beginnings of Alzheimer's who thought it may be a good idea for me to post the video when I got the antenna to work for her.

[@FeeltheEfex]

Did this erase any of your channels for Samsung TV Plus bpodcasting?

[@Caprese7777]

Thank you so much - I can watch the Olympics even though the cable in my area is out!

[@TerryB751]

Glad to help - go USA. 😁

[@patriciatamez]

Thanks to your video, I was able to watch baseball World Series game last night!!!🎉🎉 I really appreciate your video!!! Gracias!!! 👏🏼

[@grade5students933]

Most helpful video of all time! We were able to set up for the game!

[@amyscroggs-okeeffe9179]

Thank you for the specific step by step! I thought I was going crazy...did not know to look for the "Live TV Air".

[@mrs.rodriguez1898]

Thanks a million very clear instructions as described by others. Nothing that came with the antenna helped at all.

[@SportsCentreLo]

Worked for me! I set up my VSR on my Samsung Smart TV and this method worked to watch the show

[@Mrs.ParkerMrs.Parker]

Thank goodness! It worked for my newer model Samsung tv and I was struggled for 2 hours! 😂😂 Thank you so much

[@marcynorton3629]

Thanks for this video! I wasn't getting many channels and this helped a lot. I was able to find the channels I wanted.

[@nexus8289]

That was very helpful and extremely useful. Great video. Thank you very much for taking the time to make that.

[@KM-jd9zf]

Thanks so much. I only needed to know to do the air scan and not both but this is the first video to get my tv to work.

[@thebobbybrisket]

Straight to the point and very helpful. Thank you sir!

[@kironparkash2850]

This video is incredibly useful and succinct. Thank you from England.

[@TerryB751]

Glad it helped so much.

[@kmast77]

Thank you for the clear, concise directions.

[@cpg-de2qo]

Ain’t think this would work but now my recently divorced dad can watch tv thanks😅😅

[@richardlemke4240]

Yeah I was trying to access the antenna through the device manager, when I needed to be in Samsung TV plus, thanks for the info most helpful.

[@aleksisbocanegra8397]

Super helpful and absolutely worked to set up my new antenna. Thanks!

[@Betybobety]

Succinct and excellent direction. THANK YOU. No joke. This was exactly what I needed.

[@saquanl.mitchell-djs-9602]

Thanks. This was an awesome video with Great instructions....you just Saved my Sunday night Football night!!!!

[@Tony_9]

[@lisasimpson-pervis4743]

[@hilaryvandixhorn9125]

This video was perfect! Thank you so much! 😊

[@kellybme27]

Thanks man I couldn't have done it without you

[@Lisa-mp7ig]

Goodness, thank you so much! Wouldn't have been able to figure it out myself, much appreciated!

[@dest151]

Why the hell is it so hard to find the antenna channels?

[@Jasper118]

The live TV air app didn’t show up for me. It said it found 257 channels but I can’t get to them

[@marield.3951]

Thank you!!! You are a life saver

[@shalom6028]

For my TV it was straightforward and easy but for my projector this helped a lot.

[@trishmoore7862]

Thank you!! This helped me setup my antenna perfectly.

[@BBQFLY81]

Very Helpful!!! Thank You!

[@erivida64]

This really helped, thanks so much!

[@donaldspriggle6928]

Was exactly the help I needed. Thanks

[@david_redwine]

Great job, this helped me get to the cable setup page I couldn't find

[@Ryan-lo6qp]

Thanks Terry! Worked for me

[@kcvision5076]

Thank you so much it worked and helped me out, just what I needed!!

[@sashikalawijegunarathna5687]

Thank you Terry. Your video was very helpful.

[@LalaJean-mx4pq]

Thank u. I had to move my antenna around cause the first scan said I had none. 3rd scan I had 16 . Thank u, I needed to watch the news lol

[@bevv5142]

Thanks for this! Manual had nothing helpful. You saved the day!

[@ltaml7390]

Thank you soooooo much for this video. Samsung's explanation in the e-manual to turn on the antenna says " if you have cable you don't need to use an antenna" DA ! REALLY! I called Samsung and they quoted this information from my e-manual. I don't know how you figured it out....... Now.... just playing with this info it seems there is a way to RECORD from an antenna too. I could be wrong but still testing things out. I have DISH and need to move my tv to another wall so deciding where to go after I drop DISH. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH AGAIN!

[@TerryB751]

They may as well just say "To use an antenna, wait for someone to post a video on KZbin about this."

[@suzannesgoldberg4780]

Great video! Thank you. We had to w newer tv go do what other mentioned w all settings...but you mentioned that may change depending on tv!

[@nena1311]

My kids always told me "KZbin it mom"... these insurrection were perfect! Thank you 🙂

[@mrstrongest]

Excellent!!-- a million thanks!! 🙏😊

[@RoseMarie-qz3kg]

Thank you Terry! Exactly what I needed.

[@rickmarxsen5950]

Thank you! Exactly what I needed!
