  • Thanks for all the good comments. The antenna is still working, although I still get the signal cutting out on some channels. I don't think I can ever totally get rid of it because planes fly overhead. BTW, All the materials came from Radio Shack even that little ampliflier.

see all

  • how many rg6 can go into antennia. is there an adaptor for 2? see we had 2 seperate rg6, no splitter of one cable, to 2 seperate tv outlets. Well former cable company used an existing tv line and now no free to air on that outlet. im thinking of following rg6 from wall though roof. There an isolator box outside with 2 rg6 leads?. i dont understand it. what the earth can i do.

  • Lightning likes to travel in a straight line. Better to run ground wire straight down to a dedicated ground rod. Use some type of stand-offs (or span) f/the wire to help avoid melted siding and to limit number of fire trucks needed. You can bond your new rod to any others. An improvement would be to route coax down to the ground and place your ground "block" right there at the ground rod. Route coax to your interior. Shine up all ground connections including the rod; use sand paper on rod top.

  • How many channels do you get with that type of antenna?

  • You forgot to put the word "NOT" in your video title. It goes between the "How" and the "To" This is absolutely horrid

  • Camera man -"not bad for a bunch of amateurs"

    Guy using a box cutter to strip cable-"speak for yourself"

    I do believe he can speak for you also sir.

  • Un hook that ground ASAP. an RF ground needs to be seperate.. even if for reception.. get a small ground rod 4-5' drive it in ground.. take that green wire and solder it to the NEW ground rod.. never use the AC Mains ground for an antenna YIKES! ( Not to mention its all corroded.. probabaly isnt even electrically connected)

  • @BlazejLW10 It's spelt "Communism" and "Synagogue" you peanut.
