Hi I bought a "Millennium HDTV Antenna". I plugged it into my TV which is a philips 40PFL3706/F7 (heres a link to the manual http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/4/40pfl3706_f7/40pfl3706_f7_dfu_aen.pdf). I tried plugging the antenna into the cable input. It appears from the manual (top left of page 9/10) the antenna will work. However I get absolutely no signal. I don't understand why I get nothing. I live in toronto and was expecting at least three channels. It feels like i'm doing something wrong but IDK what.

I tried holding up the antenna and moving it around. Constantly no signal. I tried using it on my 15yr old tv (non hd) and it got nothing. How do I use this? I don't think i'll need a box if i have an HD TV?

Did you scan for channels? See Autoprogram in the user manual pg 24 and 25.

I feel so dumb. I thought the channels would show up in the first 10 channels. That completely fixed it thanks.
