My Father and i
attempted to make a hdtv antenna.
Our first try was by using Coat hangers and a 75ohm transformer.....It work ight....
Then we decided that we want to try and get better outcomes...

So we stepped it up a notch with Using a wider board and Number Six Bare Copper
And the same 75ohm transformer..{radio shack carries them]


In the Video we got results of 14 channels or so
Now we are able to pull in a good 17 to 25 digital depending on the weather and time of the day.....
One thing that we failed to do was use high quality cables...if you use good cable and have one rusty conector in the setup it will result in a bottleneck in your sys....Your sys can only preform as good as One whole sys and a bottleneck part will hinder the proformance of the rest...
On Feb 17-09 All analog station are going to stop and either be digital or die....
Digital Freq will then be at full broadcasting power with out analog in the way..
Digital tv has many reason why it is replacing Analog.
Dtv can have built in guides to see schelude events....
The Resolution is way better [hdtv]
The Color is better
The audio is better-Our antenna can pull in 5.1 surrond sound.

Subscribe if you like homade free hdtv.....LOL

  • The reason picture quality is so fantastic when using these antennas is because the signal your now receiving is uncompressed. Dish, Direct TV and cable company's must compress there signal before it reaches your TV. As a result poor picture quality at a outrageous price.

  • cool didnt think of flat side hd antenna yeah i notice some channels look more like 720 then 1080 i think some stations show 720 they put 1080 to i guess cover their butts lol
