Is anyone having trouble getting your Digital converter box to work with old sets?

Yes, but remember that I have achieved a pretty good picture with most of the interference that started this thread gone. I simply added that the picture had what I would call 'snow' in it still, so just as an experiment I touched the set's internal VHF antenna to ONE of the terminal screws a wa-la, the picture got a lot better. Even so, the picture still has a little bit of snow in it and I know that the set can display a crystal clear picture, short of HD that is... LOL! So there is no way that I could have bent the coax center conductor because I have a picture and sound where there would be none if it were open or shorted. Thanks for watching out for me though......
