Hi Nooch,

I am assuming that you are describing an old school TV with a CRT (picture tube) as opposed to an LCD TV.

If so, there is no currently broadcasted signal that the TV will receive, as all "over the air" TV is digital.

Do you have cable?

If so, your cable box should have an "RF Output" that will supply the correct NTSC analog signal to your TV.
This RF Output is either switchable between Channel 3 and Channel 4 or there will be a label stating the channel that the signal will appear. Get a length of coax with screw on "F" connectors and a "matching transformer" from Best Buy, Home Depot, etc. to connect your cable box to the VHF input of your TV. Set the TV's channel selector to whatever channel the RF Output of the cable box is set to. Fire it all up, use your fine tuning control, and adjust the horizontal, vertical, contrast and fine tuning as needed.

If you do not have cable, an old school VCR or VCR / DVD Combo Unit will have a similar RF Output. DVDs and Blue Ray DVDs do not have RF Outputs. To use a DVD or Blue Ray, you will need to get an RF Modulator (and in the case of the blue ray, an ATSC to NTSC adaptor).

Hope this helps.
