If you've decided to skip the large monthly payments often associated with cable and satellite programming, you may want to just use a television antenna. An antenna can pull in your local broadcast programming. Although the exact position of the antenna changes for each channel, tuning an antenna, whether an RCA model or another type, takes only a moment or two.

Things You'll Need

    Converter box

    Coaxial cable

Instructions

1.Check your television's user manual to see if the TV is digital or analog. If the TV is analog, you must use a digital-to-analog converter box to switch the audio/video signal from digital to analog. If you don't, your television will be unable to receive any of the broadcast programming.

2.Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna into the "In" port on the television. If you must use a digital converter box, plug it into the "In" port on the converter. Next, hook up the stand-alone coaxial cable and plug it into the "Out" port of the converter box, then insert the other end into the "In" port on the TV.

3.Turn on the TV, the converter box (if required) and the RCA antenna. The antenna has two movable parts: a large, circular hoop and a standard "rabbit ear" setup.

4.Move the rabbit ears around to receive stations under channel 20. Rotate the large circular hoop to obtain a better signal for all stations above channel 20. The exact position of the RCA antenna will vary slightly depending on the station whose signal you are attempting to receive.
