    Solved! Can’t get my dish tv to work on my new Vizio smart tv e series

    I’m trying to hook up my dish to my Vizio e series smart tv. Dish has a coaxial cable & there’s no port for it on the tv, so I bought a converter box. The converter box menu has me stuck—I can’t figure out how to get my dish up & running. I’ve scanned channels & nothing happens. Help!

    Rooftop antenna, missing half of channels suddenly

    I have a big rooftop antenna that looks like it was installed a while ago. I've only owned the house for a year and I've never been on the roof so I don't know much about it.

    Proper tv connection

    Do I need to run both an HDMI cable and a coaxial cable from the tv receiver to the tv for it to work, or is just an HDMI cable that is needed? Yes coaxial from the wall to the receiver but is another needed to the tv as well when an HDMI cable is connected ? Thanks
