My converter box is Insignia model number NS-DXA1, i have my 30 year old rabbit ears in the antenna slot and the converter plugged into both the wall and an old TV. Yet the converter box isn't turning on.

All you have to do is use the auto tuning function. Your remote control has a menu button, you can get to the feature via the on-screen menu.
If you press the menu button while the box is on and you see no menu, change your television's input to match what the box's output is.

First, make sure your connections are right. The rabbit ears need to be disconnected from the TV and reconnected to the converter box. Then the output cable from the converter box connects to the TV. Then try turning the rabbit ears or re-locating them near a window if the wire is long enough. You should be able to get some signal. A newer indoor antenna may help you pull in some of the weaker stations.

You may need an antenna that gets VHF and UHF bands. The "rabbit ear" antenna is designed for VHF band. Many of the DTV channels are located in the UHF band. You may want to call the FCC's DTV hotline for help. They will know the TV stations in your area and can tell you if you need a different antenna. The can also arrange for someone to come help set up your DTV converter at no charge to you. 1-888-CALL-FCC is the number.
