Its my parents old TV and it worked on virgin media but I've not got it to pick up a signal from the analogue (my Dad tell's me) socket. Is there a dongle (edit: freeview box) to get it to work?

I've connected the TV and it gives "weak or no signal" but it shows some channels but gives blank screen a bit and zooms in and out. The socket I'm using is one that must be connected to an aerial, its a co-axial cable not a fibre optic like virgin media use. Someone else told me there is something to improve the signal that plugs into the socket and then u plug the cable from the something into the TV.

It does have digital tuner, and I have used another tv on a RF coaxial aerial connection which this tv didnt like at all.

When I talked about dongle, its a freeview box. Also I believe the RF input and coaxial are different as seen here:
