The "A-B RF switch" referred to in the Sony KDL32L4000 manual is a device used to switch between two different antenna sources. This switch is typically used in situations where you have two different antennas connected to your TV, such as an indoor and outdoor antenna.

It is possible that you may not be able to receive any channels using only an antenna without the A-B RF switch. However, as an alternative you can try to connect the antenna directly to the TV's antenna input, without the need for an A-B RF switch.

If that still doesn't work, it could be a problem with the antenna or with the TV's tuner. You should check to make sure that the antenna is properly connected and that it is working properly. If the problem persists, you should contact a professional for help.

Regarding the cost, it will depend on the brand, model, and availability of the switch in your area. You can check online retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, or Home Depot, or electronics store in your area, to get an idea of the cost and if they are available.
