Making a television antenna can be easy if you have all of the tools needed in order to make one. Most people have cable which enables the television to have a good reception; however, if you do not have cable then you will need to know build a TV antenna if you don't want to buy one.
Instructions
1. Use a coat hanger. Bend the wire hanger in a V where the bottom of the V can be placed inside the top back of the television where an antenna is usually placed. You can tape the bottom of the V onto the end of the cable cord where the other end of the cable cord is connected to the television. Sometimes this will give better reception.
2. Connect a copper wire to your television. You will need to make a loop at one end of the wire and stick the other end into or onto a terminal connecting to your television set.
3. Gather several hangers together and straighten them out. You will need a connector that will connect the wires together to the central connector as well as a co-ax wire that will connect from the television to the connector. When you are done you will have the coaxial wire connected from the television to the connector to the new antenna.
4. Place two or three wires across and connect them with a shorter wire. Once you do this you will want to place one wire down the middle of the two or three wires across. Be sure they are all connected to each other with smaller wires.
5. Place the main wire into the connector. This will send signals to coaxial wire which will send a decent reception to your television. When you are done you will have the coaxial wire connected from the television to the connector to the new antenna.
