Poorman's Tv

All I have to do is rebuild the mythtv box. (yes, I have cable too but it never hurts to have alternatives.)

Poor man's home TV setup: homemade antenna, old obsolete analog monitor (commodore 1702), and almost free dtv converter.

Update:

Original foil antenna: (one half of my version)

My antenna more like the original coat-hanger antenna, but is kid safe, works better and can be hidden in a picture frame (10x16):

Note: a transformer (not shown) is still required. Science is fun.
