Homemade HD Antenna 4.0

[briToronto]

if it worked so well . why not show it working

[CSProductions]

If you want a diy antenna design with some science behind the design and proof that it works, i have uploaded a tutorial on how to make one

[mbcsmm]

i had an old outdoor uhf vhf antenna, added a coaxial adapter and put it on iron rod with a 50 ft cable and set it on the ground and i get 28 channels with it. once i mount it on my roof i'll probably get more.

man are u waiting for ufo's

[TheAprendo4567]

peru 13 canels 

[jakeanddar]

Just tried building one myself and It gave me 0 digital channels and the same old 3 analog channels that you get with a cheap set of rabbit ears,good thing I only spent about 3 or 4 dollars. I also didn't have a signal booster,I priced those out and they are fairly expensive.

IF YOUR ANTENNAS WORK WHY DONT YOU SHOW IT ON HERE PROVE IT 

[MrHarlanDale]

@lem4281 i agree 100% with this comment, this antenna looked like a piece of shit, poorly constructed

[chickenpoper]

cool but im 13 and i connected mine to the whole grid so absolutely no wires runing around the floor or walls or ceiling plus i built and designed it my self.....its a 2 part antenna in one.....the top is composed of metal rods and the botom consists of a relfector and a "spiderweb" design again composed of metal rods then in the back a HUGE 2 window screen reflector

[packagewarren]

i see no channel-scan, no tv stations, no proof. sorry, thumbs down.

[darkprinceton]

hey does it work for normall AIR Antenna TV i know now its all digital in the US but will it work normal antenna? DO YOU PUT THIS OUTSIDE OR IN YOUR HOUSE DO YOU NEED THE POWER BOOSTER...

[izzyslzr]

do you believe it would work better if i used thicker cable????

[jays2cool4u]

How do we know it works? You never give a demonstration.

[ashtonbc123]

i think 2.0 looks better

[pleasecho2]

Provided the length of the elements is correct, why would these work better than a (good) set of "rabbit ears"? Also what about alignment? No one I saw so far mentioned anything about them being omnidirectional

[c70r1636]

These antennas posted on youtube do work. I can get a TV siginal w/ digital HD quality on some channels. The closer you are to the sending antenna the better of you are. A siginal booster helps alot. You have to be willing to try the antenna in different locations.

@c70r1636 :P

[akush55]

like the days when the homemade satellite dish made small mesh to chicken wire style so we see if he find a surplus radar dish like 3 meter/

[phantomgrey]

This guy is toying with you. I hope. Signal booster = more loss than its worth.

I hope you are joking. And that pattern is funny at least.

[TheLifeOfAlvinLowery]

how much did it cost for u to make the homemade hd antenna? and would it be cheaper to buy one? i just asking because idk im get a 32" Proscan HD LCD Flat Screen TV in 2 weeks

[saskuachman]

i used spare parts around the house :P

but most of it can be picked up at any doller store

[chickenpoper]

@saskuachman i couldnt find on at a dollar store and the only one i found was at radio shack for 7 bux but i still got it :(

[jdvargas81]

what is the signal poster you were talking about in the video, and can you hook something like this up to an older tv?

[saskuachman]

im going to try Iron  next though

[FletcherHabit]

@saskuachman would galvanized steel wire work well ya think?

[sukh2k9]

hey are those copper wires?

[saskuachman]

yep they are

[CaliCal68]

you put this behind the tv or on the roof?

[saskuachman]

this one I face towards the CN tower out a window

[1218alex1218]

Could You Record it Being Used Please?

[saskuachman]

i did have a clip up but it was remove by youtube :( i might put another one up though

[2songsfrombuffalo]

Good compared to what? You've hooked some random pieces of wire to an amplifier and get something. So what? How does it compare to a proven design? Or a 'real' antenna?

[HighAway]

This one is a bit complicated. Could you make a diagram please? I tried it but this video allows only one angle for me to draw but could not make it out.

[saskuachman]

okay ill get onto that sorry for the late response

[dazeofmylife]

How far are you from the source stations?

[AnthoFlex]

man, all those antennas look really bad. But i bet they deliver hella good signal.....pretty much what i need right now (can't watch shit, so im here watching youtube)

[saskuachman]

lol

[chroncile]

Care to show the picture next time???

[SonyMicrosoft]

Cool. How many channels do you have?

[chickenpoper]

i have 1000 channels :)

[saskuachman]

but are they all HD?

[chickenpoper]

about 90 are they expensive

[zimlover1234]

hey thats prity cool
