I have a new DTV converter, new $16 indoor portable TV antenna and older 2000 analog 13" TV. Need help attaching cables to all 3...I am 60+ and dont know the terms of what porthole or cable to stick where. Converter and new antenna both have room for 2 cable hookups. TV only has the antenna- in porthole & no audiovisuals.. The old pole antenna on the TV wasnt good enough, so I bought the new $16 antenna for it. Reception isnt good in my area with DTV converter alone.
Carefully look at the back of the antenna and converter box. Everything should be labeled, but you may need a magnifying glass to see the printing.
One of the connectors on the antenna should be labeled "To TV" or something like that.
Temporarily connect the "To Tv" outlet to your TV and see what kind of analog reception you get.
If you don't get any reception, look at the back of the antenna for a switch. Try flipping it to the other position.
(The switch & extra connector on the antenna is so you could connect a video game if you wanted to.)
Play around with adjusting the antenna for best (analog) reception. It's a lot easier to adjust the antenna with the analog signal.
When your done, disconnect the antenna from your TV and connect the antenna to the "Antenna in" (or something like that) on the converter box
The other connector on the converter should be labeled "To TV" (or something like that). Use the cable that came with the converter to connect it to your TV.
Set your TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever shows the converter's menu), then you will be ready to go through the converter's menu.
If you have further questions, be sure to include the model of the converter you have.
