You do have an antenna problem. Either your antenna is not aimed to pick up one of the stations or alternatively your antenna can't deliver enough signal to produce a picture. Unfortunately the US has gone back to the days of needing an antenna that can be rotated. Something similar to this happened before when the US first implemented UHF channels as standard, the difference was that it was obvious if you had a weak signal that something like aiming the antenna or getting a better one would improve that situation. Analog does have its advantages. When broadcasters and the FCC did the calculations for signal strength, they failed to leave in the normal fudge factor apparently. Lots of folks can no longer get reasonable OTA television even with outside antennas. In some locales a significant percentage of OTA TV no longer has reliable reception. Anything from clouds to rain also can disrupt reception. Before anyone asks OTA= "Over The Air".
