Can't get over air TV Little help please??

I've had no problem in the past but for some darn reason I can't get over the air TV now. Unplugged HDMI cable in (HDMI imput to TV) plug in and put my cable box HDMI cord (COX) for last 4 months while we were in AZ. Unplugged it and put the cable back. The procedure I have always used was to go to source, TV, then down to live TV and cable icon. Settings, auto programing, air and it would find all the over air TV channels. Darn thing will not find a single one. So frustrating. 2000 mile trip and most campgrounds don't even have cable. Dropped my ATT hot spot as only a week long trip. Trying to stay in large cities so we can get local over the air TV. NO GOOD. 2020 Anthem. I'm definitely no guru but sure could use a little help??
So far only a flat tire on the toad and a lot of "mostly tail" wind. Back home in Tennessee late tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any help guys.

Safe travels all

Turn on antenna boast by turning on antenna and scanning. Set TV to scan all channels "air" only. Run channel scan.

If trying what Chuck said does not work I would try a different TV like bedroom or over dash with the antenna boost on. Select source TV, go to settings, scan, air, etc…. Sounds like you are doing this correctly.

Antenna boost is above the passengers seat.

Good Luck

Antenna Boost has to be on for over the air TV

Antennas Boost has to be OFF for Cable/Satellite

You still haven’t told the tv you’re on antenna not cable. Often in a different part of the menu .

Antenna booster on.
Tv on tv input.
Tv menu go to channel scan for air. That should get you.

Not always, when I go to MENU-channels- I have to pic Signal Source cable or antenna,
Then I can do a channel scan. This is not the input menu.

You got any feedback for the group? Are you back in business or still trying to figure it out?

Binge watching Home Shopping Network on OTA, perhaps?

Take care,

tv

So sorry guys. Got home and having all kinds of troubles with internet. I really feel stupid!! Can't believe I forgot all about turning on the antenna?? Thanks for being so patient with me. I should have asked the question before we left for the long trip home. Works fine now of course. Thanks again guys.

safe travels all

I developed an issue with reception despite a new KING digital antenna - turned out the coax between the mount and the antenna was shot - only reading 5 volts instead of 12+. The amplifier won't operate on 5 volts - if your unit is over 10 years old I'd replace that coax outside on the roof.
