You could sit your ant. On the floor behind your tv. I had my flatscreen tv sitting on a tv stand when I had rabbit ears, and I just sat the ant. Beside the tv on the tv stand. Does this help?. You probably already have it figured out by now, anyway.

Samsung LN32B360I bought this TV today (2-18-2010). along with a $10.44 RCA ANT111 rabbit ear antenna. I live about 20 miles from downtown Washington, DC. I brought in 23 channels, all of which look good to me.

what is the best type of rabbit ear antenna to use?? The picture says weak or no signal, and does this mean the antenna is not picking anything up. Less than a half of a mile from a transmitter site. Don't know why it isn't picking up tv stations when I do auto program.??? Please advise

Actually I do not have a HDTV. I have an older TV which I use with a converter box. I attach Mohu 30 antenna to my converter box and it's amazing. I'm sure this antenna can be hooked up to your HDTV via a cable wire and it will work. The antenna is that good. Antenna.web was of great help in my decision to purchase this antenna. BTW I don't even have to mount this antenna. It's sitting right next to my tv on a tv stand. I'm on the 4th floor of my building.

Yes. Just plug in any TV antenna. Beware that some of your local TV stations might be broadcasting on the VHF TV frequencies. Those flat or mini "digital" antennas are optimized for the UHF frequencies, so won't pick up VHF stations well unless they're strong, & you're really close to the station. For an indoor antenna, a set of rabbit ears extended about 15"-18" work well for VHF indoors, & do pretty good with the UHF stations too. Look up your local TV station frequencies to see if any of them are broadcasting on VHF. If not, you can get away with a little or flat antenna if you live near a city with lots of stations. In my area Channel 67 broadcasts 4 great sub-channels on the old VHF frequency channel 7. Rabbit ears were the only things that would pick it up. The mini & flat "digital antennas didn't work, but got the UHF stations fine. The better the antenna, the more stations you'll get.

I'm not at all familiar with that unit, but that doesn't stop me from having an opinion. It's a question of the antenna. Can you unplug the antenna wire (transmission line) from the TV? If so, then you have an antenna jack on the TV which can be used for plugging in a much larger antenna, instead. Plugging in anything from bookshelf-mounted rabbit ears to a rooftop-mounted antenna would be an improvement over the little antenna supplied with the little TV. But you're allowed to plug a bigger antenna into a little TV, if the little TV has an antenna jack. If you can unplug the little included antenna and have an antenna jack on the side of the TV, I would recommend bringing the TV into a Radio Shack, let the teenage salespeople there identify the jack on your TV, and see what they have to offer that will plug in there. Even your little antenna may perform better if you park it against a window -- more radio waves get through the glass windows than through the walls, so the signals are a little stronger against the windows. Try a window on each compass point of your house. Signals are also stronger upstairs (if you have one), and it couldn't hurt to experiment with bringing the TV outside where there are even fewer walls to block the TV signals. The AV In jack would be (for instance) for playing a DVD player through the little TV. The AV Out jack would be for hooking up a bigger TV to play what's on your little TV screen. In either case, neither of those are what you need for receiving more TV channels. What you need is an improved antenna situation. Another strategy for getting more TV stations is to move closer to the inner city, where the broadcast towers are located. TV reception is challenging out in the country. Peace, -Neil-

By saying your TV is not HD ready I am going to assume you mean it is not digital TV ready. In order to make your TV able to receive digital signals you will need a digital converter box. The antenna attaches to the converter box and then you connect the converter box to your TV. The converter box receives over the air digital signals which are free and converts those signals/channels to an analog format that will be compatible with the inputs on your TV.

If your TV was shipped on or after March 1st, 2007, it has a digital tuner and doesn't need a converter box. Before that, it may have been analog only and would require a converter box. If it has a digital tuner, just connect the antenna coax to the coax connector on the back of the TV.

Easiest way is to connect the DB2 directly to your converter box or HDTV. Then, hook up a pair of cheapie rabbit ears directly to your analog TV. Then, after the transition in June, chuck the rabbit ears into the trash.

I'm not aware of an Over The Air (OTA) antenna that uses USB, so I don't think USB is going to help you. As good as these TV's are, yet impossible to find, I'd shop around the TV/electronics repair shops in the area & see who will fix it for the most reasonable price. Since it's a coaxial cable input in question, you could check w/ your local cable companies & see what they'd charge to fix it.

If you have ever had a cable or satellite company connect their wire/cable/coaxial to your device to provide you with viewing content, your device has a digital tuner and all you need to do is connect the antenna the same way the commercial companies connected to your television. If you have only used "rabbit ears" antenna you will need a converter box.

I used to get that as well. I don't thinks it's anything you are doing wrong. I am no expert on electronics but I truly believe it's the antenna and the positioning of such. I was getting so frustrated with it that I ended putting foil on the tips just like in the old days with the rabbit ears. We laughed so hard with the kids my daughter got me other antenna for Xmas. The new one works great. In regards to this one try to position it higher than the TV or play with the positioning. Also consider some TV channels are not as accessible as others with certain types of antennas. Hope it helps

This antenna works like the old TV antennas known as "rabbit ears", except it is made for the newer digital channels and HDTV. The antenna uses the coax cable antenna input on the TV. My guess is that it will work great no matter where you live or what brand of TV you have, as long as the TV has the correct antenna input and you live close enough to the TV station's antenna to receive the signal. I live in the Phoenix metro area and this antenna works great about 10 miles from the station antennas. I have tried this antenna with Mitsubishi and JVC TV's with excellent results. I hope this helps. This antenna works like the old TV antennas known as "rabbit ears", except it is made for the newer digital channels and HDTV.

I thought the reception was pretty good with rabbit ears (in the city), though some shifting and orienting may be necessary for particular channels. No A/D (analogue to digital, I assume) converter was needed, and so never tested.

Hi,I have used the simple rabbit ear antenna or you can order one of the not so pricey HD antenna`s, either one works really well.

not sure. it has a couple coaxial cable "ports". haven't used rabbit ears for years, but don't see a way to screw a couple rabbit ears ends to tv. otherwise a great dvd player which i use a lot.

The tiny rabbit ears I received work about as well as any. I ran coax and mounted a flat antenna on my roof and while I receive more channels, I still get some breakup in my reception. My advice is don't spent a lot, no more than $50 or so, and place an antenna as high as possible (attic?) and as free from obtacles (walls, trees etc.). Also, most antennas are somewhat directional,so keep that in mind.

Two answers: Based upon your post, I assume you inquire about OTA (off the air). 1. Unless you use an external antenna, antenna orientation is very important. The little telescopic antenna with the radio frequency circuitry behind it might not be enough for where it is placed. Try moving location for better reception as broadcasts are on UHF TV. 2. Proper programming is very important. I have found programmed channels I know I can receive sometimes do not work. Go through the menu, delete channel 7-1, enter in manual tune and check for signal stregnth. You can in portability walk about the home to see where reception is best, When decent signal is received, use 'quick add.' Most of the inexpensive LCD sets are designed for ATSC digital reception which uses MPG-3 technology which for most is far better than old NTSC analogue. Just because station advertises HD does not mean your set is receiving HD. I suggest going to TV Fool.com for further information and obtaining a reception map based upon your zip code.

Yes this antenna will still work great,but with an analog TV you need the converter box,I recommend you buy it from Amazon because they sell them for 32 dollars and Walmart sells them for 50 bucks. i didn't know that,so i bought one at wall mart for our tv in the bedroom. If you have a HD flat screen digital TV you don;t need the box.
