Coat Hanger HDTV Antenna!

There is but the more sub channels they put out it degrades the quality of the main channel thats 1080i

Ther is only 19K of bandwidth available there is no way they will ever be able to do 1989p. 1080i is it and then there is no additional room for subchannels.

i made one and i get all the philadelphia channels with signal in the 90s from lakewood nj. i tried a n 8 bay and had no luck increasing the signal. added foil strips tried everything but the simple 4 bay works best. i have no amp or anything

I have built many of these now. I have two of them 10ft off my roof phased together and I am getting stations that are 65 miles away. I have built one without the balun and it worked just as good. I used 12ga copper wire since I had some laying around. I also painted the board first, and siliconed over the screws, if the board soaks up rain it becomes a conductor and ruins your signal. I used 3/4" steel conduit to put them up and screwed 2 condit clamps screwed to the board to mount it.

I built one of these this week. Cost me nothing (I had the parts). I live in a small tv market that gets 9 HD stations. I get all 9 crystal clear. One amendment I'd make to the instructions--it can be very important how you position the antenna. It took me a an hour or so, using the signal meter on my tv, but I eventually found a sweet spot that brings in all of the channels. By the way, this works better than a hundred-dollar outdoor amplified antenna I bought.

Just saw this on CBC XD IT WORKED!

sorry, i meant for that to go to Rlnthndr

Even JUST at $10/month, after one year, it's $120, not including additional fees or taxes. This thing is less than $20 and won't quit on you if you miss a monthly payment. One hand outweighs the other, bro.

For me antenna didn't work as well as a simple wire.

Yes, you need to either have a built-in tuner or buy a tuner.
