    I'm a truck driver and the truck I've picked up had no tv antenna did this and has indeed found a handful of channels in my location😂 incredible! Thanks m8!🎉

    Tried this hack for my daughter bedroom TV, it scanned 23 channels, some HD ones. Only 5 or 6 we're absolutely clear, one was a major tv station in our area. I will say that her tv is also a LG tv, will try on a non LG tv and will update on my findings. Thank you so much already saved $30 because of your video. 👍🤗

      Ok, I also tried this on my Element TV, a lot fewer channels than the LG, 3 or so. The channels were clear so it was better than nothing at all, and they were major TV stations 😊

  • @aaron.0303
    @aaron.0303 2 роки тому +10

    It does work! I can get 40 channels with just a paperclip (I live about 6 miles from the broadcast towers). A few of them are sketchy, they're clear sometimes but bad signal other times, including NBC. BUT I can get 66 clear channels with my $30 "HD Antenna" I bought from Amazon. So a paperclip isn't the best...but it works. Just to be on the safe side I unplugged the TV before inserting and removing the paperclip from the cable port.
    Edit: I just attached a wire hanger from my closet to the paperclip and I'm getting 20 more channels, so almost as many as the $30 antenna, lol. But some of the channels are still a little clearer with the $30 antenna.

      I wouldn't have thought of that. Try putting some foil on the end of it to see if it gets better. I didn't have any paperclips but I do crochet so I used a needle and added foil to the end and I got 21 channels 🤯
