You cannot watch your local broadcast channels because you do not have a cable subscription. You can easily fix this by using an antenna or specific streaming apps.

  1. Purchase a high-quality TV antenna and connect it to the coax port on the back of your television [0:20].
  2. Open the broadcasting menu and select auto program to rescan for all available HD channels [0:43].
  3. Use the pre-installed Samsung TV Plus app to find local news feeds based on your region [0:58].
  4. Explore additional free news apps like Very Local to supplement your local coverage.

Ninja Tip: Check the FCC’s DTV Reception Maps website to see which direction to point your antenna for the strongest signal in your specific neighborhood.
