tv antenna

I installed power acoustik head unit with 3.6" lcd. It has tv tuner built in and it won't play the TV. It works fine with dvd movies but Tv won't work. I wasn't sure if I'm missing anything. I'm not familiar with antenna or anything. Can anyone tell me how do I get tv to work? Do I need to hook the antenna wire to the unit or something?

The radio should have a port or connection for you to plug the antenna into.

Just a little info for you. Enjoy that TV for one more year. The digital conversion for Feb 17, 2009 will kill all these analog TV tuners we run in our cars.

The new digital transmission system (ATSC) they are switching to in Feb does not deal with motion well, so you won't be able to use it in a vehicle. They are working on a new standard for portable TVs but they haven't agreed on anything yet.
