      @northmountainfilms Official Account 2 thats amazing. How do you get that soder thing to melt the wire and the coat hanger?
      Also, usually you get 8 channels in Toronto, I wonder which are the ones he got from Buffalo.

    How did you install it behind the TV. I didn't understand how it was done. I only see Antenna and cable and a branch joining the two and a plug to connect. Answer me please.

    It's better than nothing, but 11 channels these days isn't great. For $20 you can get a cheapo antenna that should get you more than 20 channels if you're within 40 miles of a city. Or for even less money worth of materials and some parts you might have around the house, you can make an even better one.

    Number of Channels 'Pulled in" has as much or More to do with your distance from the Broadcaster as the antenna used...
    at the right distance/orientation you could get similar results from sticking a Paper clip (Bend into an L and sand it) into the Hole in the middle of your co-ax Port on the TV

  • @DollarbillDollarbill
    @DollarbillDollarbill 5 років тому +3

    It is not a HD antenna. I get so sick of this. If your TV is HD no matter what antenna you put up,,if it will receive it in HD. Your TV has no other choice. You can literally take 2 wires and pick up many TV station depending on your distance from the broadcast statation. You can not put up an antenna that does not receive HD. Me myself and I have 2 pieces of tinfoil receiving 35 channel. That is even bad considering I live 35 miles to nearest broadcasts station.So yes it is a HD antenna at the same time. Try putting up an antenna that does not pick up HD. Can it be done ?Watch the southern dude put up his ultimate antenna. Don't let this guy's way of talking fool you .He knows his stuff .I never meet him but don't let his southern drawl fool you.
