  • W8VAD, Do you distinguish between HDTV (HiDef) and DTV (Digital)?

  • You can see the difference plain as day... All I can say is you having nothing to lose but maybe $5 to build one and try it for yourself.

  • On some of these videos people are posting not to waste your time and that these are good only for five miles. Those typing this have not built nor tested one. I have built three, one for a friend, two for the home.

    Five miles? I am 55 miles NW of Chicago and 50 miles SW of Milwuakee. I ran both coax leads in to a spltter/combiner I bought from Circuit city and into a signal amplifier from Radio shack. The amount of crystal clear channels received? 38. Cost of antennas? About $5.00.

    Bill? 0$

  • Not exactly sure who or why they would post such a thing. I live 45 miles from Detroit and get awesome reception.

  • ????? Lighting is like playing the lottery... This antenna is no different from any other antenna...

  • no WTVS?

  • nice, am going to build one.

  • Try putting chicken wire behind your antenna. It should help with a little sound & reception. Also, Tru-spec HDTV filter on ebay can help improve your quality to your channels. I'm not doubting you know, I was just wondering if u know.

    NOTE: Great video

  • or use hot glue!

  • Instead of sloppy glue, to cover the screws, try slicing cork from a bottle of wine say about 4 slices out of one cork, and screwing them to the screws. They look nice. Don't throw away your corks.

  • do you notice though the reception in the winter gets worse? why is that?

  • dude in Toronto you can get 35 HD channels with one of those antennas, basically I can get Toronto, Buffalo and rochester with a db8 on a 10 story balcony facing south.

  • woot michigan FTW lol from redford woots
