Reading the user manual is always a good place to start!
When you say 'nothing', we'll assume that the TV comes to life in some way, just no TV reception.
If brand new out of the box and never powered up before, chances are it needs an initial set up to personalise it, before it can be tuned to a transmitter.
Secondly, it will need tuning to the LOCAL transmitter (the EHU connection is just a connection to an aerial, like any other aerial). In the onscreen menu will be a section on tuning, run through the procedure (either on screen guidance or in the user manual, sometimes there is an electronic version of user manual available via the menu).
If you truly have no signs of life at all, it's a fault finding process of establishing power to the set etc. etc. If a duel 240v/12v set, try the other power source.
It's not unknown for the TV aerial socket on the EHU bollard not to be working, try another one, or aerial built into caravan/MH if you have one.
Fault finding is a logical process of eliminating possible faults one at a time, it's rare to have two or more faults at once, so that usually leads to the culprit.

Firstly before taking the TV out and about, plug it into your TV aerial socket at home, were there is already a TV working, that way you know the signal is good and already proving a usable feed.
If your TV does not work then, at least you know it's a problem with the TV itself, and not a signal related problem.
You will probably have to access the set up (installation) menu for the TV which might require a pin code, usually 0000 if not known.
Once you are in the set up menu, there should be an option to do an automatic scan, hopefully then you will get a picture.
Of course it is more than likely that you will have to go through the set up procedure at whatever location you are at, unlike satellite, were everything stays the same, with terrestrial TV transmitter frequencies vary.
Personally I would always use satellite for TV camping, which has worked hassle free for me, from John O'Groats, down to the Cote d Azur !

Go to the August website and get a portable aerial and a Freeview box.The output of the Freeview box may be a SCART lead so check you have a SCART input on your TV.
You will need to go to the TV's settings and run new setup to find the signal from the Freeview box and then run setup on the Freeview box to tune in the channels.
You'll also need to wiggle your aerial around to find the strongest signal, looking at the direction of local house aerials will help but may confuse.
Many people selling TVs on Ebay don't photograph all the inputs at the back of their TV. They will get a rock bottom price. If a buyer asks what inputs the TV has and they tell him no one else will know and he'll get a bargain if the TV has the input he wants.
I got an HD TV to run my Atari computer on for £8, they could have got £30 if they photographed the inputs.

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.
