DIY antennae works just as good (Score 1)

Check out this video and see if you can live with an ugly antennae somewhere next to your TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWQhlmJTMzw I live about 20 miles east of Manhattan on the first floor of a house surrounded by tall trees. Spent about 2 hours putting this together and I now I get about 30 channels compare to the 8 or 9 from the rabbit ear. It cost me $6 to get that Y-shaped dongle thingy from the Rad Shack. The rest was found in and around my house. One big problem is that it's ugly as hell. However, depending on your location and proximity to other interfering objects you might be able to hide it behind the TV... Good luck! -w
