I TRIED doing this yesterday and it SEEMS that the existing rabbit ears antenna input connector is too big for the converter box connection. I tried and tried but it is just too big. The little pin inside is what I'm talking about OR am I just giving up too easily?? I get very frustrated with this technical stuff BUT do you think they actually would DO this on purpose so you HAVE to buy a new rabbit ears antenna?? I think this was planned if this is the case. I know when I ordered the actual box they tried to sell me NEW rabbit ears, which I didn't buy since the ones I have work fine, or SO I thought.

I was aware there are going to be tests on different channels to let you see if you ARE ready for the switch over to digital, well, I failed mine last night on PBS. Of couse I did, I couldn't hook it up. So I am asking anyone who already HAS their converter box ooked up if they had a problem with their existing rabbit ears connection.

And by the way. When I actually went to a store to use the $40. off coupons I got from the government, THEY HAD EXPIRED!!! They are only good for 90 days after they are sent to you so BE AWARE!! LOOK at your coupons if you have them, there IS an expiration date. Which I think is STUPID!! I was very upset. WHY would they put an expiration date on them. You KNOW you are going to have to use them and so do they. I think it's some kind of Scam the public isn't aware of.
