Check your cables
In order to receive channels you will need to have an aerial plugged in. Make sure this is securely inserted into your TV and at the wall socket.
If you are using a wired connection, make sure these cables are securely connected to your TV and your router.
Check for signal interference
Sometimes the issue is out of your control, you could be affected by atmospheric conditions such as high pressure.
