I hooked up a cheap hd antenna and scanned for channels, the tv picked up 11 channels n it shows them in the guide but I can’t actually view them. What should I do?

Signal may be too weak. Depending on how far you are from transmitter, you may just need a better antenna.

Your TV may also be a problem. Digital television transition in the United States went into effect on June 12, 2009, with stations ending regular programming on their analog signals no later than 11:59 PM local time that day. So your analog TV may need a different tuner.
