Troubleshooting FDTV1a I have a cable ready TV. Why am I not getting any channels above 13? The tuners inside of cable ready TVs have two modes. One mode is for cable and the other mode is for antenna. When the TV is in cable mode, and you are using an antenna, you will not be able to receive any channels above 13. To fix this, simply access the menu of your TV and switch the TV from Cable/CATV mode to ANT/AIR mode. I have my TV in a metal cabinet.
