First things first...does it even turn on when plugged in?
Connect the anntena to the tv, position the antenna where it is likely to get the best signal.
Do you have the remote? Access the menu and scan for services/channels

What model is the tv?
What connections do the tv and box have? (You may need to buy an hdmi to connect those)

I can't even get the remote to work. All it does is turn it on and off,it won't switch input or source or the menu button nothing is coming up. Its a element

Have you put new batteries in the remote?

Edit: when it turns on, does it say "no signal"
What channel does it come on? (hdmi/av/digital etc)
