    Hi,
    I have a snes that I am trying to connect to the TV. I just have an RF cable that I am connecting to the ANT IN of the TV.

    Is there anything else I need to do? Tried running auto store but not finding it.
    Do I need to connect the snes to horizon tv box as well?

    Thanks!

    Should just need to tune it in on a channel.

    On a Samsung tv. Tried running auto store and manual store with antenna setting at air but not finding anything.

    I think you need to use channel 3 or 4 (should be a switch on back of SNES to select matching chsnnel)

    No luck. No switch on snes either.

    SNES takes composite input, so acquire a composite cable (and a composite scart adaptor, if your TV does not accept composite).

    pictures etc here

    What model Samsung tv are you using?

    Historically, the RF input would work by tuning one channel (autotune would normally work, but not always) to the input signal from the SNES. There are mutiple frequency modes that the antenna inputs can work on (UHF, VHF etc) so check if you can change those.

    I'd try the composite output cable if you can get your hands on one. That would let you use either composite input or SCART input on your tv, which at least should be easier than getting the RF channel tuned.
