Connecting tv antenna to satellite cable.

I installed a over-the-air antenna where the satellite dish was, then connected to that existing cable. When I did that, nothing came through.In addition, it blocks my ability to search broadcasted channels on my smart t v. Please advise, thank you

Are you still using the satellite dish also?  You can't run both off-air and satellite on the same coax. 

If you're not using the satellite anymore, then you'll need to ensure there is a direct path from the off-air antenna to the TV with no splitters or filters in the coax cable line.
