I am trying to hook up an antenna to my insignia tv... I need help

Check the cable. Make sure you connected the properly.
Change the cable.

This may not be just a reception problem. Usually dark screens are a sign that the inverter power board is getting intermittent or the backlights are fading. If you need service for you television.Call Insignia customer care at this telephone number 1-877-467-4289. They can tell you where to ship or take your unit for service. You can try to solve you reception problems with a amplified indoor antenna. These products can usually be found in local electronic stores like Fry's or the Micro Center. They are television signal amplifiers for antennas. You can buy them all in one package or as a add on. If you are not sure what to look for, just go to the store and ask for their help. You can also find them on line by using google for television antenna signal amplifiers. I hope this information helps you with your Problem.

You need a TV antenna, nothing special about it. Hook the antenna up to the converter box, the box up to the TV.

Hook your Insignia box between your antenna and your television. You still need the antenna.

Connect your rabbit ears to the Insignia. Connect the Insignia to the antenna input on the "cvd/vcr combo". Now turn on the television to show the "cvd/vcr combo".

The Insignia simply goes between your antenna and your television. In your case you also have a vcr so if you want the VCR to be able to play and record digital stations you will need the Insignia between the vcr and the antenna.

We have a pretty good signal when we use the antenna but when we hook up the converter box we get no channel weak signal no channels we have a amplipher on it it does not help .

I had a similar problem. I then noticed that my antenna has a RG6 cable. This is good. My TV requires RG6 and requires TV(RF) cable that is also RG6. Insignia comes with a TV(RF) cable that is RG59! That's a cable with a smaller diameter center connector than RG6. Consequently, when that smaller RG59 was run from the converter box to the TV's larger RG6 female connector, no signal connection was completed since the center connector made no physical contact with the TV's female connector. I found a RG6 cable to replace the RG59 cable supplied with converter box and all worked then. Also, you must force the antenna's RG6 male plug into the smaller RG59 female connector, but it'll make it.
