    Hello,
    Extract from https://www.lcd-compare.com/televiseur-SAMLE19R86B-SAMSUNG-LE19R86BD.htm
    Important information about the SAMSUNG LE19R86BD TV
    TNT HD:
    Since April 5, 2016, in France, the TNT channels are broadcast in a format NOT compatible with the SAMSUNG LE19R86BD.
    This device is compatible with the MPEG2 format (used for SD format channels), but incompatible with the new MPEG4 format used (generally used for HD).
    To learn more, follow the guide to switch to TNT HD.

    Your television is too old, it cannot decode TNT HD in MPEG4 format
    you will need to invest in a TNT HD decoder...

      By the way, I tried with the cable on the TV that I connected to the wall, but even the TV channels are not showing, and I also connected the TNT decoder, but I only get the IDF channel.

        "I only have the IDF channel coming out"
        Start by checking the coaxial plugs, unplugging and replugging them several times to eliminate any potential oxidation; if necessary, redo them properly, and be careful, the slightest "hair" from the braid touching the copper core can mess things up...
        Then conduct a new search

        Is this wall socket actually connected to a cable distribution?
        Ask the caretaker, the landlord, or the neighbors (how do they receive TV?)

    Hello
    To receive channels on your Samsung LE19R86DB, you need to start an automatic channel search in the TV menu.

    The TNT tuner of the Samsung LE19R86DB might be a bit old since this model is from 2010, and in France, the TNT switched to HD in 2016, so you might only get sound!!

    You should also make sure that your antenna and its wiring are correct because even with a recent TV, nothing will display if the wiring or antenna is faulty. Have you had it tested?
    See you later

      The antenna wiring has, until proven otherwise, no connection with the too old television.
      With a television that is not designed for the MPEG4 format currently being broadcasted...
      It is impossible to receive anything...

      Of course I tested it at my neighbors' house, they have the channels and at my place, not only is the cable not working on the TV, but no channels are showing up.

    "To receive channels on your Samsung LE19R86DB, you must of course start the automatic channel search in the TV menu."
    Absolutely not:
    -Connect the antenna to the adapter
    -Plug it in via HDMI to the TV and then turn it on
    -Switch the TV to the corresponding HDMI input -> the adapter's home screen is displayed on the screen
    - Perform an automatic channel search from the adapter's menu
