FREE HD Antenna, no parts, no tools, no nothing needed (except for a simple cable)

You don't even need an antenna to get crystal clear HD signal. Just a piece of coaxial cable and somewhere to connect the wire to. Preferably something that is grounded, like the screws that hold electrical plugs and light switches to the wall.

I've been doing this method for years. And no, this isn't a hoax....

Holy S**t it worked for me, I get 23 HD channels in Toronto, I have the connected co-ax cable going into my surge protector power bar CO-AX IN, then CO-AX OUT to my TV, just in case of a power surge, all I can say is WOW!!! LOL!!

@hailherrosner I know - this still amazes me how well it works... I actually ended up stripping the end off the coax cable and just winding the copper wire around the screw on the wall plug. So it's permanently fixed and can't pull out. Crystal clear stations...

I was dumbfounded that this works so well. Took off my ugly near useless antenna from the entertainment center. Do you suppose I'd get even better reception from also using an indoor antenna? I'd have to get a splitter so I could use both. Would it be worth it? Thanks SO much for this video :)

@almondeyespa crazy huh? it doesn't work in all houses.. but when it does work, it works like a charm!

Thank you so much for this tip. i have about 30 channels now. about 10 of them are foreign, but im in nyc so thats to be expected.

[ben8jam]

@myishac glad to see it worked. doesn't always work i've discovered. depends on the wiring in the house/apt I think.. enjoy learning a new language ;)

This works. What also works is attaching a small binder clip to the end of the cable also. That's how I'm watching it right now and it works great ^_^

@FletcherHabit an antenna would work better. Stronger signal. BUT you do not need a BIG outdoor model if the signal is that strong. You only need an indoor antenna.

@FletcherHabit coax is acting as an antenna or you is connected to the cable tv line.

If you just connect to the cable tv jack on the wall to the TV you can get free OTA HDTV. NO need to subscribe to Cable!! They send the free OTA HD through the cable TV lines. They have BIG antennas on their end.

@danie1963 right.

@rickcain2320 Yeah, he's probably just a few miles from the transmitters.
