Broke antenna connection on back of TV and...

Hello, I couldn't find the "New Thread" button in the TV section, hence I'm posting here and hope it's all right? 

I have an oldish but good Panasonic TV Model: CT20G10T about 20" screen.

The antenna connection on the back of the TV got broken, so someone connected it for me with an audio/video, putting the tricolor 3 of them in the TV back and the other 3 into my Panasonic PV-D4745 VCR, and it works almost perfectly, but not quite...

When I turn off the TV, I get a snowy screen, and when I turn it on again it's still snowy, so I have to leave it on 24/7, otherwise it takes me forever to again get the picture...IF I get it. 

When I turn off the VCR so it can do my daily timer tapings...the screen becomes snowy too so I can't have my timer tapings... I can change channels and volumes okay though.

Do you think I have this problem because I haven't connected from the TV antenna to the VCR?  Or is there some other reason?  It seems such a shame to have to get rid of my TV since otherwise it works just perfectly and with a great picture even though it's not a HDTV...

Thanks ever so much for any suggestions.  Adela  :)

Thank you Ferd!  Someone made

Thank you Ferd!  Someone made a different connection for me.  He took an a/v tricolor connection I had (which someone else had told me to buy but didn't need), and put 3 of them into the TV and the other 3 into the VCR...I know nothing of these things but...this arrangement is working fine.  But I appreciate your letting me know that there is another way too, even though I don't know what is or looks like a VCR tuner...  LOL!  Thanks again!  Smile    Adela
