So this thread has gotten huge, and it may have been covered, but has anyone built their own antenna? I currently have a 4 foot RCA in my attic, and it is split out to 3 different TV's. I have an inline amplifier right after the antenna but before the splitter. The TV downstairs has the longest run of coax to it and has trouble keeping a channel on. I was wondering if a larger antenna would cure this or if I should get a second and just hook it to that TV. As it is, I have to watch the CBS SEC games in my kids playroom. Picture never goes out on that one but it only has like 3 feet of coax to it since the antenna is on the other side of the wall.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to build a brand new one for that specific tv.

I built two. One was for the main living room and the other was a split between the other living room and bed room.

I built this one.

I had everything lying around the house already.



I didn't think there was any way it would work but the damn thing does.
