Old TV

hello, I have an old TV and the only place to connect anything to is a connection that says VHF. Is that enough to hook the new converter box to? My antenna hookup is next to it with the little screws. Thank you.

buy a matching transformer to attach to the tv so the coax from the box can attach to the tv. also you will need one to go at the antenna so you can run coax from the antenna to the converter box as the flat wire will not carry digital signals.

some DTV converters come with the 75Ohm matching transformer. the Zenith DTT-901b does

I believe he's talking about one of these:

It should work as long as the TV can display channel 3 or 4. 3 and 4 are in the VHF category.

Make sure when you hook everything up the TV is on 3 or 4.
