Is there an antenna connection on the TV? Is there a menu option for scanning for over-the-air channels?

It may be configured to receive service via the Internet, and you may need to switch it to the antenna and scan for available channels before you can use them.

Nope, no antenna. I think just HDMI to set top box. And the box to router. Not sure, can only check in 2-3 days.
