I experienced some of the same reception issues/problems when I hooked up a convertor box at my dad's a couple of weeks ago. (See my post below.) He has an old combo rabbit ears VHF and loop UHF antenna, with separate leads for each. Not knowing any better, I hooked up both leads to the box (via an adapter). Reception was pretty good, but some stations were iffy/nonexistent at best. My dad later fiddled with the antenna leads and ended up disconnecting the VHF lead, leaving the UHF lead connected to the box. Voila--reception is now near-flawless, and my dad's a happy camper.
