- In this video I'm Installing The Ultimate Double TV Antenna. This is the Ultimate Double TV Antenna. The best TV antenna I ever made using pvc. Then we go in the house and do a channel scan. This picked up all the local TV stations. Watch me install this TV antenna. Danny S Hodges TV antenna
I Have 3 Antenna Channels....Make sure to check out my other channels
The greatest thing I just heard you say: I just know, I don’t know how I know but I just know. You have the Inventors Spirit. I’m always tinkering with things around my home and I’m also behind with my hobbies and today while looking at my chord cutters email I somehow found you out and you just got me thinking outside of another box. Thanks
What’s up Danny Hodges? I built one of your antennas and placed it inside my attic, but I’m only getting about 13 channels on it, and 5 of those are in and out. It’s all good though, I put the RCA amplifier on it, then ran it through my Plex Server, which allows me to watch all my local channels via the internet, on my Plex app, on my phone, on my Samsung Smart TV, and on my Roku, any where in the world..... so the concept works great! I just need to get me one a little Higher up in the air. I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to post your videos. Half the time, I watch just to listen to you talk, you’re my kind of people. Wish we lived near one another, I’d love to hang out with you some brother. North Carolina Fan Here! Thanks, and keep em coming Big Danny!
tks brother never give up.
You can learn a lot from someone with experience, Thanks Danny
Thank you, Danny! Channel Master is here in my town just outside of Phoenix. I talked to them the other day and they said they have switched suppliers on a few things. I think in general they are pretty good. The guy I talked to knew his stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Thank you!
Wow. I was looking at buying a channel master extreme uhf antenna but this blows that thing away. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and ideas.
Hi Danny, Letting you know how much I appreciate all you do I follow you even on fb you give a lot of good advice and know how A big thank you from Rhode Island.
Mister Danny I love all your videos I just watched four of them about your ultimate antenna the double and I love them all I appreciate that you're an honest man and you seem to be a very smart man I have an idea I've always wanted to get free and I think you're the man with intelligence that can come up with a way to get it with a homemade antenna if you do please get ahold of me and thank you so much for your videos they're awesome
If you ever start a mail order service, know that I would buy the Double Ultimate.
ok
Me too...Love your skills Bro. Peace Crazyhorse.🎼👍🎸🎤🎼✌️🎬🎬🎬
His antenna is mostly plastic which doesn't hold up in sunlight! You can purchase an equivalent antenna locally that is mostly aluminum and it will last far longer and be cheaper!!!
@@MaynardFreek ........Sure , except most of the aluminum ones has lots of plastic in a cheap way............his is more solid and actually has the HIGH GAIN copper , instead of the cheaper aluminum weak whiskers
@@MaynardFreek not plastic its vinal fencing with UV protection a little research would have been good before slamming something
Putting those pins and lines on the Ariel view map was a good idea
easy way to no .tks
I have a challenge for you. Danny, have you ever built this style antenna, built like a cell phone tower? The type of cell phone tower that has circular repeaters that send or receive signals 360 degrees, I wish you tube would let me post a picture, I’m curious how many tv stations you antenna would find if you made it with 5 of your antennas mounted on the pole in a round circle, have you done this, or is it possible, could be a crazy rich mans antenna, but it could also be your newest strongest most channels received antenna.
P.S. This could be called: ( Hodges 360degree Extreme Ultimate Antenna ), worlds strongest tv channel receiver antenna. 🔥🔥🔥 super hot idea 😀.
Peace Crazyhorse. ✌️
I had some stations come into range on my TV the other day from 200km/124mile+ away, there was a bit of tropospheric ducting around that morning. The transmitter has a fair few stations (about 8) that my local transmitter doesn't have
its like that sometimes
And I still want to buy one of your antennae’s gonna put it up for my old man, he lives in the Appalachian Mountains on the Rez. He doesn’t like cable tv. ✌️👍🤘 Rock On...Danny & Son.
Peace Crazyhorse. P. S. If you are able to send a kit I can assemble here, hopefully shipping isn’t to much 🤭
shipping to high
Question sir? Have you tried connecting the elements Like the Channel Master CM-4228?
I made a Double Gray-Hooverman in a vertical configuration The elements are directly connected, using only one balun. + Channel Master CM-7778 preamp Super signal pulling power.. "Signal comes in, and stays in.
I Havent
@Martin Sprayberry Plans are Here : www.digitalhome.ca/ota/superantenna/design.htm
It's the second one down.. There is a single and double. Peace!
What I love about this style of antenna is that it only requires either 2 [single] or 4 piece's [double] of copper wire bent at different angles. Easy Peasy .. :)
cool double antenna did it work good danny
Danny they make splitters that are brass with nickel plating for extra conductivity. I see you used twin leads from the individual antennas and brought down both leads into a balun. Am I correct in my thinking ???
As a EE (electrical engineer Purdue 82) some of the things you say makes me cringe. Calling a preamp a booster drives me nuts but your technically correct. At least your using decent products
GREAT VIDEO DANNY!
I need this badly. I live near Hagerstown Md and we have the mountains between us and DC/Baltimore. I can get some signal, but need something bigger.
If I could pay 8,000 dollars for a hot tub, just think how much beans and rice that could buy. I love Mexican beans and rice.
There is websites that have testing of antennas. You build an antenna that you have in your mind on the screen as far measurements. And it tells you the RF gain in the frequency range. I can do some research if you're interested
Would this work in Delta, British Columbia? It’s between Vancouver and Victoria, BC and Seattle, WA
Thanks Danny, keep it up!
tks
I like your videos! I’m using an older large antenna tower , passive, no booster and have trouble half the year. In a low lying area with hills. Do you recommend a booster or something else?? Thx!
Danny if I have tv stations from the north and the east do I need two antennas? Also the last time they said we needed to rescan to get the new broadcast signal I lost those stations. I don’t know if they have weakened their signals or what. I enjoy what you are showing. I just wanted to know if I should build two antennas to point in different directions to receive the stations from both directions?
I thought you only used the RCA TVPRAMP1Z booster?
Ido sometimes
I didn't want to say everything on the text message but also like the news channels like Fox and CNN News live news in there a way to pull that out of the sky with a homemade antenna I mean do they block it I'm not very smart at how they do that I was thinking maybe you could tell me a little bit about it. But I do love your videos I love them
Your right on the TVs having some good tuners and some just not that good. Even if you have two of the same models one may have a better tuner then the other. I have a high dollar Samsung 65" top of the line and I have a little 32" LG brand but the LG has a better tuner then the Samsung??? By the way on the video when you was making this antenna the rat story cracked me up!!
Danny:
My ole double antenna picks up Knoxville about 50-85 miles away, but since the broadcast antennas are physically separated by quite a distance, i can only pick up two of three major stations at one time. Don't know about Macon stations physical separation.
BTW, I pick these stations up better with the antenna pointed the wrong way (not sure why this works, but it does).
I mistyped, the stations are 80-85 miles away.
@@2451star that distance..you may have to live with it
Danny was talking about the smaller beam angle of this antenna. This is caused when two identical antennas are combined side by side. The horizontal beam gets smaller. If the two would be stacked vertically one above the other the vertical beam will get smaller instead and the horizontal beam would stay the same as a single version. A version of this antenna can be made with 8 bow ties all on the same two phase lines. It would be as powerful as this with easier construction. The transformer would be soldered in the center with four bow ties above and below.
I live in a suburb just outside of detroit. I'm 42 miles from t.v stations. how many miles from a t.v station is considered close? Thanks
Do you know the mileage to those two towns yet? I have an app in my phone I could actually put in the nearest town to him and it will calculate the mileage to the Towers what heading Tower elevation. If you want to know the mileage tell me the nearest town
hey bud its long way
Just fyi, when I quit Spectrum/TWC in August they are actually charging all cable customers $7.00 a month to pay for OTA tv, just look under taxes on your bill.....OTA is here to stay.
didnt no that
Wohoo lol
OMG LMFAO... People going through all this for crappy broadcast TV shows and tons of commercials... Now I remember why I turned off the TV in the early 80's.
When you talk about TV STATIONS, PLEASE SAY HOW MANY MILES AWAY EACH STATION IS!!! NOBODY knows what you are talking about---------BECAUSE WE DON't LIVE THERE!!! You are speaking to the whole country, SO MENTION THE MILES AWAY STATUS, when referring to stations.Thank You!!!!
