Don't force anything in there bigger than the size of the center wire of the coax.

If you don't have any wire try just unplugging the Terk and rescan.

Of if you have a plain jane rabbit ears that are not powered try them.

I am very sure the Terk powered antenna is just overloading your system.
I will disconnect the antenna and scan to see what that does and if that doesn't work I'll see if I'm able to get some wire.

What if I unplug the antenna from the outlet but keep it plugged in to the TV? Or, there is an on/off switch on the cable for the antenna - I'll see if that does anything.
