You can take a regular cable for cable tv, cut the connecter off of one end and then strip the mesh off down to the wire exposing about 3 inches of wire , keep your cable about 4 feet long .. Plug the other end with connecter into your tv and then move the cable around and place it wherever it gets reception for you . Don't let the remaining mesh creep up or touch the wire .. Good luck I've used it for years this way ,make sure your cable is in good condition .!

There is more to a simple TV antenna than it appears, buy one and connect it with coaxial cable. Height is important so get it as high as possible.

How do you build a simple home use antenna?

== == For digital TV, you can build a DB4 antenna out of wire coat hangers and a piece of wood. Very simple to make. There are step by step instructions here - www.TheTutorGenie.com/DigitalAntenna.html - It works great. It depends on what you want to do with it. A receiving antenna for 40 m shortwave could be just a long piece of wire tacked to the walls. An antenna to transmit and receive at 440 MHz is a completely different animal.
