:bye: hiya there guys. My lastest project,
(no, haven't forgotten spyware thing, still workin on that)
is to amass at 3+ TV antennas, hook them together, and make a SUPER ANTENNA!! capable hopefully of managing to pull in something different. I live on 3 channels so anything new would be great.

If any of you have knowledge in this area and have something useful to contribute, please do as I need all the help i can get :angel:

you'd be better buying a used sattelite dish and analogue reciever from e-bay.
No matter how big your antenna is, if you can only get three channels at the moment, you'll probably struggle to pick-up any more anyway!

(Have you tried a signal booster box though?......)

Where are you positioned and what do you hope that you might pick-up. (except UFOs and exterial life forms )

What kind of anternas you have.

Last time I dealt with antenas (except Satelite Dish in Germany) was in Bosnia. We were able to recieve HTV 1, HTV2, SA1 and SA2. This was before the war in Croatia or Bosnia.

We used some aluminium parts to enlarge reciving part of regular roof antena.

I know one in Russia, he made his antenna this way: he modified his house antenna in the way that he added to it two cymbals plates on each side and placed the antenna on another stick so it became higher.
Before he had 3 regular area channels, now he can receive around 15 new (!) channels that way. It works like a satellit antenna, I guess.
