A case in point. I just finished doing some touch up alignment on
my 1949 GE 10T1 B/W television. There are two gewhizband modern
television sets in the house and with rabbit ears, neither one
will pull in the NBC affiliate station which is about 50 miles
away. This old GE will pull it in (although with a goodly amount
of snow) with rabbit ears sitting in the basement.

The modern sets are designed for use on cable TV, unlike the tube set
was designed when stations were less common, and harder to receive.
More IF stages give more system gain, and allow you to pull a snow
signal in on the tube tv set.
