Help with coax cable

Im renting a second hand place and can't get the coax tv cable working. I've got tv included and the landlord said to just plug it into the wall... I've plugged the wire into my tv and nothing happens.

Anyone with comhem know how to get it working? Photos for reference:

You need to do a channel scan for digital tv (DTV) / Cable, all necessary settings are listed here:

If like you seem to say, haven't really tried anything you should search for channels in the DVB-C-mode of your tv (assuming it has one, which they normally do if they're not quite old). If that doesn't work you could try the analogue mode, but that has usually been switched off.

Thanks, I appreciate it - but I can't figure out how to do a channel scan. It's not showing up that the cable is plugged in when I have the tv on. No new source for the coax or live tv or etc.

You don't always need to input the number, but if it doesn't work without it, one can try that. I haven't had to input it with ComHem (which merged with Tele2), but I did ~15 years ago with Tele2Vision (which was sold to Bredbandsbolaget/Telenor...).

So what does the manual for your TV say about ”auto tuning”, ”cable search”, ”channel list” etc?

Contact samsung support.

Either the missed to add that chapter in their manual or it doesnt have any coax module just a port for it cause the motherboard/chassi is shared with some model that has a tv module.

It's not a source. It is just an "antenna" cable for the internal tuner.

Have you connected the right kind of coax? you need a 75 ohm one made for television signals, the one you have connected looks like an audio coax.
The cable should look something like this https://www.jula.se/catalog/hem-och-hushall/hemelektronik/tv-...

And it should be placed in the right most connector in the wall socket.

Yeah exactly like this, it's a more expensive fancy one with gold plating for less signal loss.

Bu it is not made for television signals, the outer sheilding on the antenna cabel should be on the outside of the connetctor and the connection you put it in on the wall socket is an input.

The right most is for a male plug, the middle is female...but the plug I have is female and male, male plugs into the tv.

Explanation with picture of an older type of socket.

(You just plug the cable in the other way round depending on if it's a radio or tv, assuming there's still any radio signal in the cable network, which there might not be.)

This worked, thanks!

Now the only issue is I have about 10 channels, most are locked. Is that normal for having the basic offer at comhem?
