Have you ever tried putting a can of tuna behind your TV? You might be wondering why we have to do this. Don’t worry, we’ll tell you in a moment.
Unfortunately, the place where we want to put the TV does not always have good reception, but with this simple and inexpensive tip we can watch everything we want and optimize the signal. Do you want to know how to do it?
A little tip for good television
Today we are faced with a problem that many people have in common: we are talking about a bad signal that does not allow us to see all the channels on television that we would like. In some cases these elements are only partially visible, in others they are completely hidden. Here too, the signal can come and go.
By searching on the Internet we found a way to stabilize it and therefore had a good experience. There is no need to spend money or call a professional. The object that we are going to use is actually in front of our eyes every day and is destined for the trash.
This way we can recycle it and obtain important benefits without completely damaging the device . Let’s see what this simple and fast method consists of.
Create a DIY antenna
You understand correctly, it is possible to make an antenna in just a few steps using the tutorial available on YouTube , the images are so complete that no further explanation is necessary.
It really takes a few minutes and very little material that can be found in any hardware store or electronics store.
The first step is to take a can of tuna or any other food with a similar container and especially the same material, we empty it and wash it carefully after removing the lid with the tab: the latter should not be thrown away but put aside because we will need it soon.
During these first interventions it is important to be careful not to cut yourself. After carefully washing and drying the box, mark with a marker the center point of the lower part and then drill a hole .
Once we have the hole, we can take an adapter and insert it , then screw the nut into the part that comes out and tighten it well.
Now let’s take a 10 centimeter long antenna cable and cut both ends of the plastic sheath to expose the internal filaments. One part must be connected internally to the adapter that is inserted in the center of the coil .
Now we take the remaining length of the antenna cable, screw in the appropriate adapters and then connect the two ends to the one plugged into the box (outside) and to the input that is normally located behind the TV.
We finish the last step, that is, we take the tab that we previously removed and fix it to the inside of the box where the adapter is located with a piece of antenna cable. Once this is done, we will have our very original and inexpensive DIY antenna and as you can see in the YouTube video, the TV receives the signal perfectly when it is connected, while if we unscrew the L antenna of the box it turns off . Great! No costly intervention and no hassle.
