Making a TV Antenna

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

If your Cable is out, why not make a fortune antenna while you wait for the cable to be fixed. Fortunately we have a detailed guide to the establishment of an antenna on your TV at home. Start by collecting all the materials. You will need an average size of sewing pin plastic with a bulb at one end. Then you also need a speaker wire with a length of about one foot long. You'll also need a small antenna. Normally you can not see in your car. You can unscrew and put it back when finished.
You will also need a wire cutter tool of your finishing this. Down thread. Using your wire cutter, start by stripping both ends of the wire by half an inch. Then, attach one end of thread around the needle. Make sure it is attached close to the bulb in plastic and wire touches the metal on the needle and has a good contact. Then wrap the other end of the wire and attach it to the metal of the antenna. Again, make sure the contact is good.

Test it out. Now that you have built the antenna, it is now time to test it. Get the needle end to connect the power cord, which normally goes. Then, adjust the antenna until you get a clear picture. When you get the image you want to set up using some tape and sit down and watch the game.
Of course, the quality is not the same as how you have cable, but at least you see the match. When you see that the cable is back on, replace your antenna and make fortune on the cable. Thus, you avoid a disaster management and entertain your guests. The only thing you need to know is how to work your TV when the power is out.
