Overview

Instead of spending a ton of money on one of those HD Antennas for your TV just build one from cardboard and aluminum foil. It gets better reception and more channels than most of the store bought ones anyway!

From someone else's instructable:

Here's my finished antenna and it works GREAT! I get all 10 local channels perfectly clear without any of the little square artifacts that show when the digital signal is bad. No more cable for me! All this for the cost of the $6 matching transformer from Radio Shack. Part number 15-1230 or 15-1140.
