RCA F32649 SER# 135331165
I am trying to use this TV with an antenna and when I hit Auto Channel Search I get Zero channels found.
Thank you for your help |

Are you sure your area STILL has ANALOG (NTSC) television transmissions? Most of the planet Earth has switched to DIGITAL (ATSC) television transmissions.
You can still use the set with a DTV set-top box. |

I forgot about that. So the reason my other two TV's are working is because they are newer and are set up to receive Digital transmission while my od timer can only receive Analog. Correct? |

That certainly seems likely to me. There is still one low power NTSC channel being broadcast in my area, but it's not strong enough for me to pick it up. |

You can still use the set with a DTV set-top box - OR - Any device that has an ATSC tuner and component or composite Outputs.
TV stays on whichever input you choose and channels are tuned with the DTV STB or device's remote. |

Thank you... I had a DTV converter box for an earlier TV but I donated it about two years ago when I bought Digital TV's. Yesterday I went to Radio Shack & bought another DTV converter box and will install it today. Should be good to go.
Take Care,
