I'm not familiar with this particular model, however a couple of suggestions for you:

1) Basic question, can you tune across the FM Band?

2) If so, then with the aerial connected do you hear anything on the audio output as you tune across the Band?

Quite a few tuners mute the output unless the signal is strong enough to give satisfactory stereo performance. Usually there is a way to select 'mono' operation when usually you will hear what the tuner is tuned to - and this may just be hiss.

It is possible that your aerial is not one designed for the FM band and is just a UHF TV aerial. Can you check this point please?
