did this thing with a piece of regular wire (left over from an old lamp post) and an ant1 plug i had from my old tv. Cost NOTHING. tools NOT NEEDED. Works absolutely great!!! Thanx man!! :)
I've been using this method for a while now...since you gave me the idea on....now with the changes that they're about to do...no matter what we try, even rabbit ears nothing will work anymore....sometimes it makes you want to hate technology....it's just not fair for everybody......
Idk anything about tv rlly like what i need for channels and i dont have anything hooked up to my tv that i might need so if i did this would it work or do i need some type of box?
You show one end of one phone wire being prepared, then (at 1:00) write: "after that screw all both of the wires..." Did you prepare two wires, or both ends of one wire? Thanks.
Followed the directions and pulled in an *almost* crystal clear SuperBowl 2011! Thanks! I live in the middle of nowhere and was sure this would fail...I am glad I tried it.
Works on regular tv and dtv too if your tv has a tuner built in. This saved me $10 on a antenae. He showed cable. Maybe he gets Hannah Montanna on tv. I used to get it.
Also you have to keep in mind the nation has switched to digital so if you don't have a dtv box or a newer tv it won't work you have to hook this to a DTV box
The disney channel is actually brodcasted in my area on saterday mornings don't comment on things you know nothing about. True this is not the best way to build one but it does work very good
I wanted to post something on this video because I actually made this thing and I noticed a lot of the people commenting didn't actually make it and aren't posting any useful or meaningful comments (typical).
Bottom line: This antenna works. I live near Orlando and I pick up 39 stations with it. Use a 12 foot length of wire. You can use phone cord or multiple lengths of regular copper wire. Hook it up to a cheap amp from Home Depot if you want to boost the signal. The end.
@c0wz he is showing hannah montana, which has been coming on ABC ( regular TV) on saturday morning for YEARS now. you can see that what he is showing is CLEARLY not cable quality duh
I don't know much about electronics, but I have a question. If you attached a couple of magnets wrapped around a few times with copper wire and screwed those in with the ends of the cable, would that make the reception better?
@tracy10UT NO! Coiled wire around ferrous materials like carbon magnet would not allow RF (radiating frequencies) in on the line. however without the magnet, a coiled wire acts as a transformer and would raise the voltage one a given source ..say RF. But ONLY if done correctly..ie: measurement for the bandwidth & diameter of the [load]!!! Keep reading your a smart person
Look at the bottom left corner of the TV in the video. It has a Disney Channel icon. AFAIK if this was ABC then there would be an ABC icon at the bottom right corner.
Worked for me. I am using an amp too but am getting higher reception levels than bunny ears, flat antennas, basically this is the best thing I have tried that is inside the house in the room I need an antenna in. Thank you so much.
I pulled in all the local channels in Tallahassee with about 12 feet of phone cord and a connector I had laying around. Thanks a lot, this really works. Also thanks to Alwaysopen for his comment confirming that it's just a loop and not hooked to anything else but the connector.
I tried this ghetto-antenna out and it worked! I did the same thing but just used a normal co-ax cable-tv wire instead. bingo, clear tv on the static-filled ones I had on buddy-ears. kill the rabbit.
For all of those who think this is a cable station. Go to the listings for your local ABC affiliate. Look at Saturday morning.
ABC shows the Disney lineup including Hannah Montana.
The screen shows "18". That is the local ABC station. On Saturday mornings it shows Hannah Montana. This is not a cable station, but rather "Free over the airwaves".
I swear there are some total dumb asses watching this stuff and commenting about it.
A phone cable is comprised of at least 4 solid copper wires. If you watched the video the guy stripped the shielding from both ends, twisted the multiple wires together and then screwed them into the balun. This makes a multiloop antenna. He corrected his length of cord from 3-5 feet to 13 feet.
Both ends are connected and nothing goes into the wall.
How could you plug it into the wall if both ends are cut off? You have to strip it as shown above and connect into a 300/75 OHM adapter (or "One regular tv antenna connector" :) ). Just use an extra phone cable.
How do you plug it into the wall and your phone if the ends are cut off? Watch it again and pay more attention.
Watch it again. It shows him working on one end, but you can see both ends stripped and pluged into the 300/75 OHM adapter. Or "little antenna connector thingy".
1st of all I spent 8 bucks for all of my materials. OK. My phone line only has two black wires and not four different color ones. Can it still work with the two black wires???
right now i have none of those items. I tried a safety pin and i got a very poor signal and no sound. I tried a close hanger and it would not fit in the cable slot. So if anyone has any better ideas message me as soon as possible!!!
Thanks! I went from no signal to 20 channels at about half strength. But at first I couldn't find telephone wire(cat5e) so I used rg6u, both central conductor and shielding and it worked. I did try cat5e with not as good results as the coax and will try some different lengths and orientations to see if I can improve reception. Glad I found this.
yea, I have to agree with paranormal33; made one many years ago and it did not work. I picked up a better signal with nothing attached to the tv than this thing.
Works great for me . Live in hilly city (Pittsburgh) and needed an outside ant. to receive a good over air signal with old system . I used an old 2 wire phone cable about 6' long plus the 300 to 75 converter to plug wires into tv and the digital signal is really good.
I didn't get it. Is it just ONE wire connected to the cable connector on both ends or is it two separate wires connected at one end and the other end stays loose ? Can somebody clarify this for me please ? Thanks
That is clearly cable channel 18 her tunes into. Did anybody ever get proof that his antenna works? As for Disney, ABC is owned by them and some of their shows air on Saturday morning as a result.
Another thing, it can be an indepedent broadcaster. That broadcasts cartoons on Saturdays, but not on the other days of the week.
Think of a radio station. Let's say it is a variety station of all genres of music. The radio station only plays Reggae music on Saturdays. Therefore, does that mean it is only a Reggae station or plays Reggae music for one day?
Disney Channel is not broadcast OTA. You might as well try to convince me, Pay-Per-View is now broadcasting OTA. I don't know about Disney owning ABC. However, I do know that Disney Channel does not broadcast OTA. ABC might broadcast OTA shows but that's still besides the point. Because in order to get DISNEY CHANNEL, you must have a satellite provider or a cable provider...
ok i get what ur trying to say yea abc broadcast popular shows like ahan montana and some of that crap for lil kids on saturday not the full programing of disney chanel
Thank you for understand now. That was the whole time what I was saying. However, I was wrong in a sense. How? I forget that Disney Channel, owned a few other channels. In which I don't know & or, don't remember.
Since Disney owned other channels. They can always put shows from the "Disney Channel." Which is the first time I heard this was so.
This setup will work as it's using the basics of the older stereo system antennas. Remember the big plastic circle you hooked up to your stereo to get stations in better? It's just a wire wrapped around that circle.
So yes this does work but the truth of what he didn't explain is how far he is from any given station or even his environment (city, suburb, countryside).
If you live close and not around many people this will work fine. If you do though then it may or may not work well.
ABC does show disney channel programs, but only on saturdays. They are required by the FCC to show at least 4 hours of childrends/educational programming. All the networks show their kids blocks on saturday.
hell yah want to know how to make a television antenna for under a penny? take a paper clip bend one end into a triangle shape bend the other into a straight line attach to the back of the coax connector. even works as a digital antenna
which cable? And where do you get it? Since I've bought shitloads of antenna over the years and none have been any good, but you're the video super master, tell me, where do I get this amazing cable?
What is that? Do we get it with Free To Air telly down here in Australia?
And more to the point, how does that help with my viewing pleasure not being disturbed by signal degradation due to flimsy antennae and bad location for decent terestrial signal?
don't know where you are, but i'm up high in a Brisbane apartment building with just the concrete of my building between me and the towers and can't get anything to work!!! haha. How annoying! Maybe aussie tv doesn't broadcast with much power or something.
im confuesed, i have bunny ears, and was thinking of buying those buny ears u plug in the wall(they get better receptions) but u cut up a phone cord and jack that in and got BETTER picture than i do...im guna try some other videos cuz the comments have me blown away and then if i see more of this stuff ill try and post bak here
This antenna works quite good.. but with balun for 5-69 channel you may get MUCH better reception with less screen distortion - and the price of antenna will grow about +5 to +25$ depends on balun quality (of course you may do balun yourself or buy tv connector with built-in 300->75 ohm balun)
If you're living far far away from tv transmitter - forget about good quality. Of course you may try antenna preamplifier, hehe :)
For those who don't have the antenna connector, I was lazy and didn't want to go search one out. I had extra coaxial cable, so I cut the end off about 4 inches or so, exposed the inner copper wire, and twisted it with the two ends of the telephone wire. I used electrical tape to secure the cables to eachother and cover up the wire connection. Now I have tv in the bedroom that is equally as good as the amplified bunny ears in the living room. Quite impressed, thanks.
i recently bought a dtv converter box, and much to mydissappointment, the antenna I bought did not help at all. 4 channels is all it would pull in and it was amplified 45 dbs. I put this stupid phone cord thing together hung it on the wall, fooled with it a little and serious folks I have 21 channels now, all main broadcast channels plus extras.
I got satelite but anyways I have a bunny ear antenna and since I live in florida there's lots of hurricanes and whatnot so when my satelite isn't working I switch my hdtv from HDMI2 to channel 3 then tune to the local news station with the VCR so I can get weather updates. This helped alot. Now I don't have to fidget with that peice of shit.
Alright is it me or did anyone else notice that's the Disney Channel which is a Cable Channel. Your telling me a telephone cord can pick up the Disney Channel?
where do you put the phone cord? what if i throw a shit ton of that phone cord up in my attic and throw it about? right now i have rabbit ears in the attic and it almost does good enough job. i also have a 10 db amp on it. my current digital tuner isn't 'exactly' great. it's just OK. my goal is to be able to send the OTA signal to 4 different tvs in the house. hope someone has advice?? btw, i did the tune. cheers.
Where can I get the tv antenna connector? I find RF connectors but I can't find the one you showed in the video. anyone know what exactly the connector is called or have a link where I can buy it online?
hey do u have to have the tv connector or could u just connect one end of the telephone wire to a coaxial cable and hook that up the tv, and then just point the other end of the telephone wire to the desired location of the station?
omg u dum ass! i saw this on channel 8 or 19 in the morning! They have a disney thing in the morning at about 9-10 o'clock on one of the antenna stations!
did this thing with a piece of regular wire (left over from an old lamp post) and an ant1 plug i had from my old tv. Cost NOTHING. tools NOT NEEDED. Works absolutely great!!! Thanx man!! :)

Or you can just pay for the cable and stop being a cheap fuck.

which cable? And where do you get it? Since I've bought shitloads of antenna over the years and none have been any good, but you're the video super master, tell me, where do I get this amazing cable?

If you've ever watched a Comcast commercial you'd know.

What is that? Do we get it with Free To Air telly down here in Australia?
And more to the point, how does that help with my viewing pleasure not being disturbed by signal degradation due to flimsy antennae and bad location for decent terestrial signal?

don't know where you are, but i'm up high in a Brisbane apartment building with just the concrete of my building between me and the towers and can't get anything to work!!! haha. How annoying! Maybe aussie tv doesn't broadcast with much power or something.

This antenna works quite good.. but with balun for 5-69 channel you may get MUCH better reception with less screen distortion - and the price of antenna will grow about +5 to +25$ depends on balun quality (of course you may do balun yourself or buy tv connector with built-in 300->75 ohm balun)
If you're living far far away from tv transmitter - forget about good quality. Of course you may try antenna preamplifier, hehe :)

For those who don't have the antenna connector, I was lazy and didn't want to go search one out. I had extra coaxial cable, so I cut the end off about 4 inches or so, exposed the inner copper wire, and twisted it with the two ends of the telephone wire. I used electrical tape to secure the cables to eachother and cover up the wire connection. Now I have tv in the bedroom that is equally as good as the amplified bunny ears in the living room. Quite impressed, thanks.

how chanel do you have with this antenna?
uromov 3 years ago
You need a different TV for each channel, I have 38 tv's stacked up on top of each other, but I only really watch about 24 of them at a time.

i recently bought a dtv converter box, and much to mydissappointment, the antenna I bought did not help at all. 4 channels is all it would pull in and it was amplified 45 dbs. I put this stupid phone cord thing together hung it on the wall, fooled with it a little and serious folks I have 21 channels now, all main broadcast channels plus extras.

I got satelite but anyways I have a bunny ear antenna and since I live in florida there's lots of hurricanes and whatnot so when my satelite isn't working I switch my hdtv from HDMI2 to channel 3 then tune to the local news station with the VCR so I can get weather updates. This helped alot. Now I don't have to fidget with that peice of shit.

Alright is it me or did anyone else notice that's the Disney Channel which is a Cable Channel. Your telling me a telephone cord can pick up the Disney Channel?
Xavon1987 3 years ago 2
where do you put the phone cord? what if i throw a shit ton of that phone cord up in my attic and throw it about? right now i have rabbit ears in the attic and it almost does good enough job. i also have a 10 db amp on it. my current digital tuner isn't 'exactly' great. it's just OK. my goal is to be able to send the OTA signal to 4 different tvs in the house. hope someone has advice?? btw, i did the tune. cheers.

hey do u have to have the tv connector or could u just connect one end of the telephone wire to a coaxial cable and hook that up the tv, and then just point the other end of the telephone wire to the desired location of the station?

thegman1996 3 years ago
Fair on close station. You have to cut the wire to the frequency you want it is better, if put on a solid form in a circle. directional also.
supressorgrid 3 years ago
oh i also made a slight mistake but it doesnt effect it too much, put 10- 15 feet of phone cable not 3-5
thegman1996 3 years ago
do u plug the other end of the phone wire into the phone plug and get free cable plz reply asap
