Get no picture sound anything using rabbit ears

First you may need a 300 ohm to 75 ohm transformer if you have a flat wire with 2 leads coming out of the rabbit ears..you can get one at walmart, I attached a picture of what they look like...hook the 2 terminals from the rabbit ears to the transformer and plug it into the round terminal of the tv, set the tv to cable or antenna, what ever it has for settings, unfortunately though you may not get all that much with old rabbit ears as they are lower frequency pickup than the new HD channels run on.

Do you have a cable provider that gives you TV service ? Or do you use a regular ("rabbit ears") antenna ?

Check to see if you have the "Rabbit ears" plugged into the correct spot and you are on "Analog tv" if you are trying to use digital tv on "Rabbit ears" it can't send out a strong signal like the areal ontop of a house. You may need to get an adapter to broadcast a stronger signal but even better if you can connect to roof antena.

Rabbit ears no longer work on their own. You need an analog/digital converter box.

This should fix your receiving problem. You should be able to use rabbit ears but they need to be out side on the roof or the very least on your porch. If this fails go out and get a powered antenna. You will have to unplug the TV for a spell this will default the computer.

A simple set of rabbit ears should suffice. You'll also need to use the remote's menu to change the input settings from cable to local.

Recently, cable has gone digital. You might not be able to get a signal anymore with rabbit ears. They suggest buying a converter box. You can always try restoring factory settings...

You mentioned rabbit ears for old tv, how old are the rabbit ears? Time and humidity will make rabbit ears lose connections internally. Also, if your old rabbit ears have the flat cable going to the tv you probably had to add a converter to go to the new tv. The flat cable will lose signal strength were ever the cable touches metal. Also the adapter will cause signal lose. The best bet is to buy an amplified indoor antenna. You also may try a paper clip and about 3to4' of small gauge wire put the paper clip (bend out to fit) into the center of the antenna in on the tv have the wire connected and let it hang or lift it to see how the picture improves. The problem with rabbit ears is that you have to use war time tactics. Crawl on your stomach and adjust to best picture, if you stand and adjust the signal is usually reflected off your body and will be nice until you walk away.

try aluminum foil on the ends of the rabbit ears

do you have cable to the set or are you on rabbit ears if on ears adjust antenna for the strongest signal.
