Hi Sara. You will definitely need a converter box for the TV in your kitchen. When you tried to connect the converter box before to that TV, did you use an antenna?

Yes, but the antenna is permanently attached to the TV, so I couldn' connect it to the converter box.

you will need an antenna that is not made onto the tv to use with the converter boxes
