    Tiny TV
    I have a 3 yr old 4.5 inch Sylvania black and white TV that uses an adapter to the wall and a tiny plug that goes into the TV, not a cable. Its only 3 yrs old, I bought it in Big Lots.

    I bought a nice converter box today from Circuit city, a Zenith DTT901. I cannot get a signal because I don't have a cable nub to connect the cable cord. Like I said I have an adapter with a tiny plug, like a cell phone plug.

    What the heck am I going to do? Do they sell devices so I can connect the darn thing.

    And my TV only has 1 white hole and 1 yellow hole. No red one.

    Am I not going to be able to use this TV any more?

    Please help,
    Thanks

    The TV does not have stereo, just use the yellow and white.
    Is the antenna connector closer to 1/8" or 3/8"
    ?
