    In this video I demonstrate a simple Satellite to UHF TV Antenna Conversion that worked quite well on the UHF band. I'm not sure how much the Satellite reflector actually helped to strengthen the signal, but signals are so strong in the neighborhood I probably could have just used the loop alone and been fine..

    These small satellite dishes can be used for boosting the UHF or Wi-Fi signal, 15 years ago I used a 90 cm satellite dish and a UHF dipole, I attached the dipol in the same place where you mount the LNB. Back then there were analog signals, The channels on UHF Band 4 where crytal clear, and on Band 5 the channels had good picture. Back then in order to receive the channels on UHF Band 5 you had to use an amplifier, an antenna with built in amplifier was the solution.

    Great solution Dave.

    It's a great solution but Is that loop of wire sturdy enough?

    Have even seen vids of converting satellite dishes to pick up distant WiFi.

    How did you connect the copper wire to the coax. I can’t see it.

    Could it manage to pickup channel 62? I keep missing my favorite shows like Underwater Bowling for Teens and Fun With Dirt because of my cheap antennae

    Cool Dave, thanks!. How about using a small Bow-tie UHF antenna where the LNBs used to mount?

    I am shocked to see a half isle of antennas now at Walmart after they almost disappeared.

    Is the copper loop electrically attached to the plastic piece on the dish?
