The antenna doesn't scan for channels - the TV does. Scan several times, changing the orientation of the antenna between scans.

the antenna doesn't scan, the tv does. antenna just pulls in weak signals. it's like the old rabbit ears on older tv's, move aerials around and turn knob. i have a tivax 7 inch digital tv i use near a lightrail yard, lots of power lines.when yard is empty i get good reception, otherwise even with amped ant it don't help much. follow scan instructions for your tv.hope this helps, let me know.

You have to set up on your TV menu to Antenna and the use scan channels on the TV menu

The antennae is not made to scan for channels. This should be available in the menu of your television. Scan for antennae setting from tv menu.

you either hook it to your HDTV with an ATSC tuner built in or you hook it up to a ATSC set top box

You do the scan via your TV. If its not as good as you known it could be, you then adjust the antenna and scan again. I use this antenna in parallel with another, so I get awesome reception with all local channels.

It should be included with the latest firmware update.You can download the channel if it is not already loaded.

Make sure you have it on the right setting. Press menu then go to channel search. Look for service type. Mine was on "air" and I had it connected to the cable. Once I switched it to "cable", it searched fine. If you are using an antenna, make sure the antenna setting is on. Good Luck, it is definitely low quality.

I just used the channel and "enter" button. Took a few minutes but it is connected and working great. Directions are included.

Make sure when you are scanning for channels your TV is on air and not cable. Your antenna should be facing the window. Just keep moving it around until your channels start coming in. Good luck!

Have you tried turning up and down a channel or pressing a number then "dash" then another number? Doing those should work. I can't tell you axactly what to do, because I gave it to my grandmother. Also, you can try a channel scan to catch some left out channels. Go to "Set Up" or "Menu" and then "channel scan" if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the kind response. Unfortunately, none of the efforts resulted in this TV to scan all digital and analog channels under the same "digital and analog channel search" function.Amazon.com support was excellent in sending a new replacement with just a simple phone call, as this unit apparently has a faulty tuner.

Yes. You will have to manually program it for any channels. Others have indicated that the manual is pretty sketchy with details on how to manually do that. The computer minimizes the programing down to about 3 minutes total. After programming, a computer is no longer necessary. I have zero scanner experience and I love this scanner!

Sounds like you just need to run the scan tool and stay away from channels that have zero bars. In my area three channels have no bars.

I have not. Only windows 7 64bit. Since my tv provider updated to digital I have not been able to get any channels using this device (as of 11 months ago) and it has been put in a box and forgotten

Check that the setting is scanning air not cable. Have you moved the antenna? You can do an internet search to see what channels you can expect to find.

Try the RCA Amplified indoor antenna ANT301F, Or scan channels on "other source and not air.I think maybe it isn't picking up the digital channels.My amp RCA antenna was 17 bucks It looks just like this one, diff model number.

Hello Amber!! After you connected the antenna did you set your Tv input and adjust the channel.. You have to scan the channel from 1 and set to air / antenna NOT cable. Hope it will help you.. Keep in touch.....good Luck

I returned the Haier too. The auto scan program would not pick up any of the digital channels in the area using just the external antenna supplied with the unit.

My apartment is towards the back of the house so I had some minor issues when first scanning. I ended having to put the antenna on the wall higher than my normal tv stand and re-scanned on every dial until I found the setting that allowed me the most channels available and just adjusted the "rabbit ears" accordingly. All in all it took me a good 30 minutes to find the right place for me but it has been great every since. I hope that helps you, good luck.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??
