Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Best Buy essentials™ Multidirectional Indoor HDTV Antenna with a 30-mile range does not require a power cord, as it is a non-amplified model. It should work by simply connecting it to your TV using the included coaxial cable. If the antenna isn't picking up any channels, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Check Connections: Ensure the coaxial cable is securely connected to both the antenna and the TV. 2. Positioning: Place the antenna near a window or in a higher location to improve signal reception. 3. Channel Scan: Perform a channel scan on your TV to detect available channels. This option is usually found in the TV's settings menu under "Channel" or "Tuner." 4. Interference: Make sure there are no large metal objects or electronic devices nearby that could interfere with the signal. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the antenna might be damaged or defective. You might consider trying another antenna to see if the problem persists. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
