  • Does it receive HD channels?

    ...

    • Hehehe.

      I think, if you have a camera as nice as the one you are using, Comcast or a Dish receiver shouldn't kill ya? Or even basic cable? - I can get about 80 channels on basic.

  • He he he

    This is what happens when gas is above 4$ a galon and people have to stay at home. This causes a state of boredom and people start getting creative. This is a good video. Now that I can`t afford to drive my car during the weekends I am going to start making this sort of experiments. hahah

  • you can smell the Elitism in the air

    "In America we have cablevision" oh my. In America the megacorporations like Comcast and their extra rich comrades crashed the economy, so in America we also have a Recession and a lot of PEOPLE can't afford what used to be free... until Comcast and AT&T, and Dish Networks bought a bunch of congress critters and passed a law that if we don't buy their products we can't have TV.
    "you have a nice camera blah blah blah" I have a nice camera I bought at the Arc for $3 USD. I have a nice computer I pulled the parts from dumpsters because some stupid rich people with more money than brains couldn't figure out how to re-insert memory sticks when they got a "beep Error" and no video at startup.

    In America we have Windows, the supported systems starting at $100. We also have public libraries, where you can check out a book about Linux which has an installation CD. Enjoy it, y'all. There's still some good stuff about our country we don't have to pay the Gazillionaires a bunch of our hard-earned bread to use.

    Just, you know, when you're walking across our pastures of plenty, don't step in the Elitism...

    • What..

      In America we also have idiots who talk for all of America and create conspiracies over stupid random S**t

      1.SATELITE/ANTENNA/CABLE all outdated, and for 10 dollars in material you can go ahead and subscribe to netflix for $8 a month and stream S**t for free (tv shows including HBO all that) and you constantly have dvds mailed to you and get new ones when you send your previously watched one back... so .. get a vga to cable converter like $2 or RCA whatever u want,, and get netflix

      2. YEAH I dont think they bought the S**t out... its just affordable ur just being a complete bitch about paying for it.. which everyone cries about bills so.. so be it..

      But still you're in the past anyone with dish and stuff I havent had any of that nonsense for like 6 years and dont miss it...

      3. DID YOU REALLY JUST SAY LINUX.. LINUX IS FOR PEOPLE WHO Dont know that your computer beeps on startup for multiple reasons.. and thats displayed in the POST performed by the BIOS because some form of hardware is not responding, and you're not a professional IT just because you can install a M.M.

      and back to Linux.. yeah its great and smooth untill you need a program only supported by Windows or MAC lol.. Windows is easy and mines smooth as S**t cause I have the brains to maintain it. Linuxcouldnt handle the programs I was using so I suppose thats why its freeware lol and not for people who do more than check email and write shitty comments that doesnt involve the video at all (just because they want to seem a rebel) Google Torrenting
      Pay for a Nice Secure torrent site membership
      Download AVG Avast some great form of Virus protection...

      Also Download anything you want... obviously upgrade your internet speed and hdd if necessary..

      Everything is free on the internet just learn how to do simple hacks and cracks!!

      Do the NETFLIX BTW ITS Worth the $8 a month (way worth it)

      Get a streaming device such as a ps3 (or just buy a cable connection for ur tv from ur computer)

      Enjoy TV and movies for $8 a month where you choose what ya watch and dont get S**t commercials and un wanted bullshjit viva la shopping bull crapo

      BTW IM POOR AS S**t

      AND I GET BY AND HAVE LUXURIOUS S**t

      BUT DONT HAVE THE MONEY ALWAYS FOR WHATEVER I NEED AT THE MOMENT (SO DONT KNOCK ON A GUY FOR HAVING A CAMERA) MAYBE HE LOST HIS JOB IN THIS ECONOMY AND DOSENT WANT TO SELL HIS S**t ,, MAYBE ANTENNA SUITS HIS NEEDS.. UNLESS UR HIM S.T.F.U. THIS VIDEOS FOR WHATEVER REASON SIGNIFICANT IN HIS MIND THEREFORE RELEVANT TO THOSE WHO ALSO DEEM IT SIGNIFICANT ..

      BUT FOR REAL ITS OUTDATED.. CABLE AND PHONE YOU GET FOR FREE WHEN YOU HAVE THE INTERNET.. JUST GET THE HIGHER SPEEDS AND BUY THE ADD-ONS OR TWO HACK IT... MAGIC JACK... NETFLIX FTW

    • Yeah,bad ol' linux...

      That's why Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst just dumped 1.3 billion dollars worth of stock... oh, wait, that was Microsux CEO Steve Wallmer.
      Seriously, I do recycling. Get my hands really filthy dirty going through other people's trash to get out stuff that is a) worth money and b) toxic and doesn't belong in my drinking water or that of my neighbors. Like the metals typically found in computer parts.
      Since none of the Great Capitalist Whore-Lords offer any kind of real service recycling their Luxury Sh*t once it becomes last years Luxury Sh*t and I know a whole bunch of people, good people who just aren't rich or anywhere near rich, who want to be able to use the technology that's supposed to be our ticket out of poverty. And I refurbish these computers, sometimes it is a loose memory stick, but you know the biggest part? Winblows. Yep, microsux has given me, inadvertently, hundreds of free computers simply because their "operating" system S**ks so badly that the target market for it, people who don't want to learn how to hack, and are told by the Marketing Gurus that Linux and command-line repairs of Windows are "too complex and only geeks would know how to use them", do what comes naturally when you depend on some mega-corporation to make all your decisions for you... they let the OS and the software team up to destroy the functionality of their computer. Enter THE WORLDS SMARTEST RAGPICKER, your humble narrator, and the Linux Operating System. I repair the damage that Windows did to itself, using Linux tools and some Microsoft compatible tools.

      Then I install a user friendly version of Linux, usually TeenPup, on top of the repaired Windows partition. And sell it for less than a day's pay of Common Labor.

      Even if it took me more than a day to do it. Usually doesn't but some cases are, well, Special. I also advise the friends/who/are/clients to not use the Windows on the internet. Too many people who learned how to hack their OWN hardware have found out that they can use the network to hack Other Peoples Computers and Windows just makes it easy.

      As it works out, I get more friends than money which, I'll see at least some of my friends when I get to heaven and exactly none of the money. Me Likey Very Much Goodly. Now, THAT'S an investment plan worth considering. Incidentally, there's a freeware for Linux which has a shareware version that works with Windows called Kaffeine. A front-end for the gxine multimedia engine. Works better than any of the Media Players microsux sells you as an add on to the "operating" system you already bought.
      Now, to bring it back to digital teevee, there's probably already an app in Linux for that, as in, people are throwing back the DTV boxes and I see them in thrift stores already. I'd have to first get interested in television and then hunt down the software, but I'd just bet there's some firmware modifications already made. It's worth a try and if people can get rid of the Cable Monkey or, perhaps, do to Comcast what Linux did to Windows, force them into a marketing compromise based on the availability of technology beyond the control of Comcast...

  • I get clear with a paper clip

    is there any such thing as an electron point antena? I get clear reception just using a coax cable lightly touched to any metal. Much simple.

    By CosmicRay 1201518314
  • One question

    If you have that antenna anyways, why would you need to do all the other stuff?

    Seems like a lot of wasted time
