There's definitely no place on the TV to screw in a typicalcoax connector. The Antenna In "port" says 75-ohm, and
 must receive a connector with a center-pin and a sleeve
 that simply pushes onto the port.
 
 This Antenna In port is slightly larger than the coax cable,
 so it's clearly meant for a different connector/end.
 
 I will ask Radio Shack--thanks for the advice.

 Are you sure the connectors are different? A TV coax connector is the
 same everywhere.
 
 But if it's not, then try Radio Shack. If you have to, get them to
 take the non-standard connector off and put a standard one on. They
 will do it for a nominal charge if you buy the new standard connector
 from them. Just make sure the person doing the work knows how to do
 it.
 
 There are screw-in connectors and you might consider that instead of
 having them do it, but a permanent connector is better if it is done
 correctly. The hard part is stripping the wire and they should have a
 tool to do that properly.
