TV connection with antenna socket and RD

Question

Hello,

We just moved into a new apartment, and when we tried to connect the TV, we noticed there are three antenna sockets (or at least we thought there were three antenna sockets).

Actually, there is one antenna socket by itself on a "block," and another "block" that has one socket labeled RD and another labeled TV. I figured out by looking online that RD stands for radio and TV for television.

We have a TV that does not have a built-in TNT receiver, so we have a basic TNT decoder bought from a supermarket.

We have tried all connection possibilities, and nothing works!

Can someone explain to us where to connect what, because we are really lost.

Thank you.

Hello!

Check with the neighbors to find out what is upstream from these sockets: collective rooftop antenna, cable television, other... And what channels there are, what services, free or paid.

After plugging the TNT decoder into the socket, you will probably need to search for channels.

Hello, you need to check with the HLM union for more information, look here: http://www.tvnt.net/forum/reception-de-la-tnt-en-habitat-collectif-t2020.html?sid=639949d41584acd1e498869e7534accc

Good evening,

First of all, thank you for your replies.

I spoke with my neighbor who's in charge of everything related to the homeowners' association, etc.
He told me that he had never seen the box with the RD and TV socket in the other apartments (he shared quite a bit of information and knows the building inside out). He then told me that I should use the standard antenna socket.
He also specified that each apartment had a "private" antenna.

I don't know more today; moreover, the previous tenants probably had TV through an internet provider, which is totally different from us with our cheap little decoder.

Hello
The situation is simple, you live in a "collective" building and there is an antenna socket in your apartment (whatever its exact type), there should be an antenna at the end of it. The construction of a residential building requires an antenna socket in each apartment; a collective antenna distributed to every tenant in the building. Some owners have forgotten to comply with the obligation to provide this service (Right to antenna on Wikipedia), while others have neglected to adapt the old collective antenna to the new standards imposed by digital television (TNT), which includes new channels but especially a different signal processing. Your neighbor should know the exact situation of your building and should call the maintenance service to measure the quality and quantity of the television signal at your socket and remedy the malfunction if there is nothing at the socket. The fact that your predecessors received ADSL indicates that television and internet were provided by an Internet Service Provider (Free, Orange, SFR, etc.), and this signal provided with a subscription via the telephone line does not interfere with the functioning of your antenna socket, which has likely been disconnected somewhere in the distribution system. All of this concerns recent rental and collective housing because it is still possible in condominium residences that this type of collective antenna installation does not exist and everyone must install their own antenna (it's easy to tell because in that case, a forest of individual antennas blooms on the roof of the building or on the balconies instead of a single antenna feeding the collective network). Make sure to get informed to clarify the situation and also ask your neighbors. Goodbye.
