Question

I have my dtv converter boxes and I have an indoor antenna. My channels will not pick up. What can I do to.?

Answer 1

how is your indoor antenna fixed for UHF reception. most DTV channels are on the UHF band.. the "ears" on a rabbit ear are for VHF, UHF is often a loop.

Answer 2

Make sure the TV is on channel 3.  It's just like the old days where we had to turn the TV to channel 3 to watch a movie on the VCR.

On my converter box, I have to hit the power button and make sure it turns blue.  Red means it can receive analog signals, and blue means it can receive digital signals.  Your's might be different.
