Things You'll Need:
- TV
- DTV Converter Box
- Antenna
- Cables
-
Step 1
First you need to connect the TV antenna into the antenna in on the digital converter box. This is the basic coax cable (screw on type).
-
Step 2
Next, you will need to take the TV output from the converter box into the back of your TV. You will have the option of using the RCA cables (red white and yellow) of the coax cable out (screw on type).
-
Step 3
Lastly, you will need to set the TV onto either the AV (also might be called input, TV/Video or device) setting that you connected into if you connected with the RCA cables. If you connected with the coax type cable, you will need to have the TV set to channel 3 or 4 depending on the box.
-
Step 4
Keep in mind, you will now be changing the channels with the DTV box remote and not the TV's remote. You will still have to use the TV remote for power and volume.

It is a GE Universal 5 Learning remote (24950). Even better it cost $12 at Target.
