I picked 'display' since I'm actually having a TV issue!

I bought a "pack" of 6 TV's (Toshiba 57h84). They're 10+ year old TV's but brand new. They came from the School System, and were still in the boxes.

I replaced my newer TV with these older mammoths ...Trouble is, none of them autoprogram or find any tv channels. The antenna the newer TV was using was just fine. Bunny ear style. But when I go to hunt for channels in the Indy area, it can't find a single one on the older but new TV.

How come the antenna worked for the newer TV, but when same antenna is being used on the older TV, it seems to not find anything?

If they are Analog only, you will need to have Digital Set-top boxes for them. Antenna's work for both digital and analog so any will do. Generally, if they have a settings page, it should say there. If they don't have one, they're probably analog.
If the 10 year old, new TVs only have analog TV Tuners (NTSC), then they won't find anything. Make sure they actually digital TV Tuners (ATSC). Also, it appears they have two antenna connections. Make sure you're on the correct input.
