=> How to Build an HD TV Antenna
How to Build a HD TV AntennaYou can build a pretty good DTV HDTV TV antenna yourself, for almost no money. With this antenna, you can pick up most of your local over the air TV programs for free. Remember, because the broadcasts are digital, they come in crystal clear. Also, over the air broadcasts are usally better quality than from cable, because high compression rates are usually not needed over the air.With free over the air digital TV, many people are closing out their
cable accounts.
We know some of you are foolishly paying between $40 and $200 per month
for TV!
There are many antenna designs, relying on both art and science. One
growing in popularity due to performance and simplicity is this design:
Note the VHF connector at the center (cost for the connector is about
$1 to $2).
Overall, from our experience, this homemade antenna has better reception
than an amplified Phillips MANT510 HD antenna!
Online videos for this antenna design can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWQhlmJTMzw http://www.metacafe.com/watch/762088/coat_hanger_hdtv_antenna_better_than_store_bought_amazing/

If you eliminate a $100 month cable bill, you can save $1200 per year. That $1200 savings per year, invested at 5% return, would grow into
$79,726.62 after 30 years and then $144,959.70 after 40 years!
