Unless you are near the broadcast station the supplied antenna is far to weak to pickup anything ... connect it to a house antenna shoulld allow it to find available channels.

So perhaps provider use DVB-C not DVB-T in cable - verify this first.

You probably have the wrong kind of tuner for cable. The Maldives uses DVB-T for over-the-air transmissions but cable TV would use something else. DVB-C or DVB-C2 is most often used for digital service in DVB-T countries, while PAL is used for analog service. In addition, digital cable TV may be encrypted, and a decoder box is needed to watch TV. If that is true, even if you had a DVB-C tuner, you could not use it.

Yep, in Pal country's cable operators use DVB C not DVB-T the second is for terrestrial only over antenna
