Look for the F-connector
Your TV should have an F connector; it is usually found at the back end, or on the side of your TV near the HDMI port. The F connector port has a round shape and a threaded outlook. In some TVs, it is labeled as “ant” or “cable”. A similar term can be used to label the port.

After identifying the F connector, proceed and locate the antenna. Place it close to a window to get a good signal. Flat antennae are usually pinned to the wall, about 6 feet high.
The outdoor types (antennas) are typically pegged on the roof of the house for excellent signal reception. Vans, campers, and travel trailers have their antennas firmly placed on the roof sections.

Scanning will start, wait for about 10 minutes. The channels will appear on your screen. Select your favorite TV program!
