This method is based on a simple principle: to use electrical conduction to pick up and amplify the signal. To do this, it is enough to gather a few elements that are easy to find:
- One button cell (type CR2032 or similar).
- A copper wire of about 30 cm.
- A small piece of aluminium foil or a metal surface.
- A connector to connect everything to your TV.
Simply wrap one end of the wire around one pole of the battery and then attach the other end to the foil. This home-made antenna then branches into the television antenna. By placing it close to a window or high, you can pick up more channels for free.
Which solution to choose?
If you just want to improve the reception of conventional channels, the button stack tip is a quick and economical option. On the other hand, if you are looking for expanded access to streaming content, an Android TV box or an HDMI key remains the best solution to make an old TV compatible with IPTV.
In any case, there is no need to throw away your old TV: with a little ingenuity, it can still offer you beautiful hours of entertainment, with no additional subscription.
