Hitachi 42hdf52 Dtv Error Message Bad Or No Signal

When I plug in indoor HDTV antenna to Digital RF In and set to AIR mode and DTV and scan channels all are erased except the one it was on and receive BAD OR NO SIGNAL message. The same antenna connected to other tv in home works great, receiving over 60 channels. When using the remote there is no DTV option and have to use actual tv source mode button to obtain the DTV source. What could be the problem?
