Antenna will not work on tv. Cable is out due to storm. Tried rabbit ears and can't get local stations. Why?

It depends on what you mean by "local stations". If you're trying to receive one of the major networks, it's because they have gone HD. (High Definition). You would need one of those HD converter box that was sold before the stations went HD. (Remember the government was handing out vouchers for people who did not have cable?).
So if it's not a major local station and perhaps it's a smaller station with a somewhat small signal, then it could be the strength of that signal as well.

Can you use your old UHF antenna with a new HDTV and will it pick up broadcast HDTV signals?
To answer your question simply, yes, you can pick up over the air HD signals from your analog antenna. As a matter of fact that's how I have my HDTV set up. I just read somewhere recently, but can't recall where, that over the air HD is a much cleaner signal or much better picture than cable or sat. [correction: the HDTV over-the-air "OTA" signal is better than Cable/Satellite TV. Cable/Satellite signal is compressed, with a loss of quality] I don't have cable or satellite but just use the antenna that I have hanging in my attic. What you will discover, depending on your location and signal strength I'd imagine, is that you will not only receive your regular network broadcast but additional stations as well. Because the HD signal is broadband, the networks are able to transmit additional stations with alternate programs available. The typical transmit I see is that a network will send the regular station and then the same program but at a higher resolution and then a third or sometimes fourth station with an increase in resolution and often show different programs. For example my local Chicago PBS station is channel 11. On channel 11 you will see the standard non-HD program. on 11.1 you might see the same program but in 720p. On 11.2 you will see some really nice nature stuff or other HD specific programs in 1080i (When I bought my set, 1080p had just come out but wasn't available on my set at the time). Also, some networks may use one of their additional slots as an all weather station such as NBC and ABC. If you already have an analog antenna then I would recommend that you need not purchase any other antenna despite what the salesman tells you. [However, HD signal is more susceptible to obstructions than analog. My analog antenna picks up analog stations just fine, but not HD - I have two large trees close to my house.] When I first purchased my TV the salesman tried to convince me to buy a small HDTV antenna that he said was desigened specifically to receive HD signals. It was priced at $40. My first thought was, 'an antenna is an antenna' what's the difference? He told me I could return it if I didn't see any improvement. So I bought it and set everything up at home and I auto programmed my set twice. I let it scan for channels with my original antenna and then I let it scan for signals with the new antenna. I took the new antenna back. What I found was that I could pick up more and better signals with my own antenna. Of course everyone else's experience may differ but I thought it would help to know. Hope this helps.
Would it be possible to tune the radio's antenna poor reception for 2002 XG350L where is the antenna?
I believe I read somewhere that the XG350/L antenna was embedded in the windsheild. Some aftermarket head units can boost the signal quality better than the stock radio, or there are "antenna boosters" that install on the antenna cable and are 12 VDC powered. I haven't tried a separate booster, so I don't know how well, or if they work. I've had the best luck in other vehicles installing Pioneer head units with the "Super Tuner" tuners. [Revision:06/28/08] After looking through some documentation, the antenna is embedded in the rear window (not the front windshield) and there is a built-in/factory antenna booster mounted to the underside of the rear shelf (where the speakers mount.) I've seen at least one other person who had to replace the booster due to poor reception.
Connect indoor antenna?
1. Buy a Terk antenna. I have tried 4 other brands and there is no comparison. 2. Move the TV or antenna to eliminate interferance. Floresant lights or nearby metal will cause the signal to vary. 3. Connect the antenna then use your TV "menu" to tell your set to use the antenna input. Then choose "auto-program" to let your TV find signals. 4. For many channels, you have to turn the antenna or adjust the sensitivity switch.

This looks like a good writeup. I haven't tried it yet, but will be doing it soon, since it sounds so easy. http://www.drivewire.com/part/audio-video/power-antenna-mast/
You tried to start your car all of the lights came on but it clicked andwhen you tried to start again it cranked what could this be?
I would suspect a loose or corroded battery cable. Remove the negative - cable first and clean both cable connection and the battery posts. Hook the positive + cable back up first. Can also be a starter solenoid going bad.
