    I found this video. I almost didn't believe it. But as desperate as I was to have some kind of entertainment ( because i literally live in the middle of nowhere in the country on a ranch, which also brought my hopes down a bit) I made this antenna just like the video . I couldn't believe it. I got 11 channels as clear as cable tv. This is an amazing antenna, thank you so much for the idea. IT REALLY WORKS even in the middle of nowhere!!! 😁

      Can you please tell me how is it possible that this thing gets HD channels if you don't have a cabel plan? Does the signal get from other people? I would try this myself if it'd work

      @@TheTruth-sd8ey So where you live, there is likely local channels being broadcasted within about a 65 mile radius of/from you. On a paid cable plan from DirectTV or Dish or something, you usually get all of the major big channels and like 200+ more, but through this method, you only get small channels like local news and stations that are not as well known as the big channels that cable TV usually has, plus this method only nets you about 40 channels at most compared to cable’s 200+ channels. Cable gives you pretty much any channel under the sun regardless of your location, whereas this method only gives you channels that are being broadcasted within 65 miles of you

    it works and I took that design and build a interference shield with it. This is what I did. I took two rockstar cans and wrapped electrical tape on them to make a type of sliding plug into a pringles can that had both ends open. I added small metal plates on the pringles can to stop some interference when people walk in the room. it works but I would still maybe buy a digital tv antenna because they use a different material than aluminum and they claim to pick up all the channels.. but for a few channels .. sure and it needs to rotate to pick some of them up.
