How To Watch Free HD TV Using Only A Paper Clip An Introduction To Digital Over The Air TV OTA - Jak na to + styl
WOW!!! I was skeptical but hopeful, it really worked. My building has no reception whatsoever, I've tried multiple antennas without success, not even one channel. I did the 90-degree angle paper clip, ran the tuner, and got 12 quality channels. CBS, NBC, Fox, Univision, ABC ... Very impressed and thankful, you rock Mr Lloyd!!!!
You're most welcome. That's amazing. The paperclip does it AGAIN! I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
You tried "multiple antennas without success, not even one channel" but a PAPER CLIP worked? Something else was going on.
Yt5t66 you at work now I can come i
WOW this really works!!! My cable got shut off because I can’t afford $188.00 a month for cable and internet anymore..I’ve been sitting here a
Month with no tv... I tried the paper clip trick and Bamm I’ve got 22 crystal clear channels....Thank you so much👍😀😃😄😆
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.

OMG. Ok. So, the paperclip was a complete fail. Nothing. But, you gave me an idea. A great idea. I got a coax, an adapter, and moved my rabbit ears by the window. Every channel crystal clear. We had a bunch that would not come in, we live in a brick house. You got a thumb up. Thank you!
You're most welcome. I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
I want to thank you for this video, my cable bill was over $150.00 per month which was crazy!!! I closed my account with comcast, not knowing what to do next. I came to you tube and ran across your video. I used the coax/paper clip method, scanned for channels and low and behold, I now can watch local and many other stations in HD clarity with no monthly cable bill. I thank Jesus for this blessing, and I thank you again for sharing this with us.
Ditto. Ty.
Is this legal to do?
Rhonda Flowers, Praise be ! I thank God for my many blessings in Jesus name all the time, even though I'm poor and was rear ended by a cellphone driver doing about 60 mph while sitting in stop and go traffic on May 22nd of 2005 and was thrown out of my house by my now exwife in 2008 , the same week that I finally ran outta $$$'S. She divorced me without a single word spoken after 8 years. I lost my house, wife, truck, $55,000 a year carpentry job, ability to do my job, bank accounts, good credit, credit cards, self respect , the respect of some friends and family ( obviously my wife ) and my Falcons season tickets that I had for 5 years, but I'm still alive, have my wonderful mother, basically healthy(not counting high bp and type 2 diabetes). I have a roof over my head, food to eat, a healthy 27 year old son, my brain and some friends. That's a lot more than the majority of people on this planet have. I thank God regularly for these blessings in Jesus name. Oh, and I was born American and lucky enough to be born in the south ! 😁
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I am happy to know you get value from my content. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
OMG it works, I got 64 channels. I been without cable for 1 week; I don’t missed it but I did want basic channels. Now with these 64 free channels and my Roku channels I’m set. Thanks
I did it today 11-15-2018 and I got 53 channels... more than 40+ channels HD. Thanks, Richard
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
I was moving my attenna from room to room! NOW, thanks to you, I don't have to anymore.
Thank you so much!
Be BLESSED!
You are most welcome. Glad I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
I'm gonna have to give this a try. I have two antennas on a splitter that I have to move too often.
Used this method in an older Vizio Plasma tv in my garage. The tuner picked up 20 channels in perfect clarity.
Tried it with my Sumsung 4K in same location and couldn’t pick up anything. Bought a six dollar set of rabbit ears and picked up 23 channels. Makes sense, most people are turning away from OTA tv so digital tuners are becoming less sophisticated due lack of need and weight reduction. The
Vizio plasma is as heavy as a tank and runs hotter than the hinges hanging of the gates of Hell.
The positive is that it’s going to heat my garage when I’m watching games in the garage on Sunday.
That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I am happy to know you get value from my content. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
I've used regular nail clippers for years (jam male end of coax into and wedge it). Works way better than my $40 Amazon amplified HD antenna
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
In a decision to say forget direct TV I'm done w.them...I knew I'd find a last minute resolution!! U the man!! Thanks for sharing!!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best.
Omg this works!!! Got 6 channels at the office TV for absolutely free!! It's better than nothing! Thank you so much, this is amazing! 👍🏾🙋🏾♀️😘
You're most welcome. Six is WAY better than none! If you buy a better antenna you may get even more channels. Here is a basic antenna at Aamzon: amzn.to/2X8lH8m (Affiliate link. Helps me on CZcams and does not cost you any extra if you use it) Under $15 and will probably give you a much better result (If not you can return it easily to Amazon). Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Omg thank you so much, I saw your video this morning waiting to go home after work and amazing I just found 45 channel and it's looks crystal clear... so cheap. Thanks again
You are most welcome. Glad I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

This is some serious MacGuiver stuff here! I live 30 miles from the city and this trick gave me 44 stations!
Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
In the old days we used to put aluminum foil on our antennas or anyting we can find like hangers I wonder if that works for this or if you put a super long wire
@@richardlloydusa One question I have a Hitachi TV so do I put a pin or a paper clip pls helpp
Additionally, if you attach an empty can instead of the paperclip, it will give you even more stations mainly because the shape of a tin can is quite good for catching the radio waves
@@richardlloydusa does it have to be specifically a metal paperclip? I bought some cheap paper clips from the corner store. They are different colors. Might be plastic. It kinda works but the channel keeps going back to no signal.
It works, some channels aren't clear, but some are, I got 31 received.
Which channels
I got a splitter and put it on an 8' coaxial cable then hooked up one of those $10 batwing hd antennas and an old RCA antenna that I've had for years and I can pick up 77-80 local channels plus the NHK Japanese network that is about the only station that I can stand to listen to news on these days. 😜
@@ssharanappshindhe5935 - ňaaerr dddf
Im speechless!! I just got a 60 inch LG flatscreen hd tv at a new salvation army store in 100 % working condition and just saw your video and yessss 10000% it works with 1 paperclip!! You just have to get it just right...tysm!!!
Fantastic !!!! Here in the U.K. I am now receiving 136 channels, some better pictures than others, But I'm struggling with the language problems most of them are Chinese, a few are Korean, and a few more Vietnamese. If I keep trying I may pick up the odd satellite.
All the best Ray H. (From the U.K.)
Thanks. Best of luck.
Husband already had cable to an old rooftop antenna, but didn’t work till your video instructions...Made me look smart...lol...Thanks so much!!
He's a dumbass for getting married marriage is a fucking scam
You're most welcome. I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
I was trying to see how to attach a splitter, and I found this video... followed your instructions, and it worked, don't even have a remote haha!! Thanks a lot for sharing🙏🙏🙏😀
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching. All the best.
I've been using a splitter attached to an 8' coaxial cable with one of those $10 batwing shaped hd antennas and an old RCA antenna that I've had for years and I pick up 77-80 channels including NHK Japanese network which is about the only station that I can stand to watch news on these days . . . 😜👍
Stumbled upon this after cutting the cord and tried it I got up to 12 channels.. now I’m down to 9 after rescanning to get one of my favorite channels.. thank you for this information you saved me some💵
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. All the best.
Damn!! It worked well. I destroyed my house looking for paper clips.
Lmao
I am communicating with life on other planets, thanks to this hack :o)
Yes!

Thank you so much for this video, you are a genius! I couldn't get my expensive antenna work, your little paper clip got my channels back!!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Excellent. This paper clip brings in better reception than the flat antenna I was using. Is fewer stations but they come in much clearer and do not pop in and out. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I am happy to know you get value from my content. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thank you so much, it really worked, this is awesome, I’ve been spending a lot of money on antennas that give me poor signals, and now with a simple paperclip, I get HD channels, thanks for this video dude, you’re awesome!!
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I am happy to know you get value from my content. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
I live in the Philadelphia suburbs,14.5 miles from TV towers. I tried the paper clip and OMG it works.Pick up 38 clear stations!
That's great! Thanks for watching.
Wayne Brower I picked up 75 with a paper clip and foil, I live in collegeville, near kop
Miner word up? I'm going to make something out of a couple paper clips tied together and maybe foil reinforcing it all around pointed up to the sky from the converter box or TV and see what happens! I'm in Philly so I'm guessing it should be pretty good if you guys are a little bit north of me outside Philly there
Holly cacao! I did it! Wonderful! I got a whole bunch of channels! Thanks a billion!
You are most welcome. That's great! I am glad I was able to help you. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.
Which channels
This does work. what I did was wrap the paper clip with aluminum foil and got an even stronger reception...
Great! Thanks.
Way to MacGyver the s*** out of that, I did the same thing myself for a friend. Nice!
That's great! Thanks.
metalsteve01 a
listen to the song by little boy who's name is owen
I just use a paper clip and do a channel scan...cable guy taught me. 😉 channels automatically pop up. Been doing it 4 years...
Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best. 👍😀
My son is glad he doesn't have to stand next to the TV anymore. LOL Thanks your Awesome!
LOL, That was my job as kid too. For some reason I seem to have a positive effect on radio waves. No idea why! Thanks
Richard, we know why you have so many subscribers and views, you earn it! Your down to earth no nonsense style can only bring you to more and more people, just like my wife and I! Cheers and Thanks Much!
You are most welcome. Thank you so much for the very kind words and watching. I appreciate it greatly. Comments like these make my day. Take care and all the best.
Wow i really thought this was just another load of crap on the internet but it actually 100% works I got 20+ channels with this method! Thank you so much for this tutorial. And just in time for some thanksgiving football 😂

You are most welcome. Thank you very much for watching and and the very kind words. All the best.
Wow, this worked. Thanks so much. It's August 21 2019 today. I found your video on CZcams last night. I had an extra tv laying around in the corner. I tried it and BAM, I am HAPPY! I live in Houston, TX, but I'm from Killeen, TX. I noticed you are from Temple. Thank you so much for the easy to follow instructions.
You're most welcome. I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Wow, this is amazing! I just got 13 channels very clear and not messy cables or devices around. Thanks a lot!! :)
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
This is no joke it actually works. I tried it for myself and I have to plug it into the amplifier but it works. On spectrum cable we are all losing my network TV my 43 cable seven and we are losing fox 68 cable eight. This is because of a price war between the cable company spectrum and the Channel owner Northwest. Little do they know they're not taking these stations away from us they're forcing us to buy a TV antenna to get them. So happy I can get my 43 cable 7 and fox 68 cable 8 over the paperclip.
You're most welcome. I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Omg this really works yesterday I had no cable now im watching Frasier on cozitv. This is awesome tanks alot..
🌺🌺🌺aloha🌺🌺🌺
You are most welcome. Thank you again for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Thanks man this actually works I got 6 channels at first but when I turned the paper clip a little to the left I got 8. Thanks again
Worked like a charm on the flatscreen I use as an extended PC monitor! Not the 60+ channels I get with Mohu Leaf but 12 ain't bad for free. Thanks for a great tip.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. I appreciate it. All the best.
Back in the 70s, my dad used an aluminum rice strainer spoon as an antenna :).
Antenna design is part science part art and part magic. All the best.
Wow this is awesome I was broke and I got a pack of £1 paper clips and done that and it worked thank you your my hero

Although the port on my tv is slightly different to yours it still fits perfectly
Hey Thank you for the tip! Setting up a little TV for Grandma on the patio so she can watch the news. Picked up all the local channels she watches. Never would have thought a paper clip would have worked haha, but it sure did. Thanks for posting this !! All the channels came in crystal clear! Thanks again you are awesome!

So glad you have a Samsung t.v.I will definitely try this! Also, those square flat things you hang on a wall actually did work for me but I only have one.Everything varies, no matter what you use cuz weather conditions & seasons can also affect the signal.Cant wait to try this.Thx!
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I am happy to know you get value from my content. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Wow! And I was paying 20 bucks or more for antennas from Wal-Mart. This is the best advice on youtube.
Thank you very much. All the best.
Over the air tv does work but your right it has its limitations, if you have the time to research you can find amazing results, I worked for a hospital and one of my jobs was to install and hook up televisions for over two hundred patients, there are over ten other options, but this is the easiest!
So, that's why I couldn't see jack squat on any of the hospitals TV's. Worst food on the planet followed by worst TV reception. Now consider your healthcare following a similar pattern :-\

We use to use a wire coat hanger for an aerial in the sixties! UK. Really worked great haha!
Nicholette Whittle I've used the old coat hanger to. I even wrapped it in aluminum foil. Worked pretty well. LOL ! 🤣
You're most welcome. I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Best to Use a safety pin bent out fully, and this only works if you are close to a tower, you can clip on most any wire to the safety pin and run it up as high as you can to the top of the chimney if possible for better reception. A paper clip is a tiny bit too large and may expand the little clips inside the plug too much "springing them" so that a normal cable may not work in the future. We got in N Salt Lake City 54 stations with only a safety pin sprung out to a 90 deg angle !
Or you could spend $9.95 on one of those cheap hd batwing shaped antennas or tiny hd antennas with the two extending antennas like the guy in the boat who's watching broadcast TV in the Gulf of Mexico . . . LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I'm in Midvale! About to try this rn!! 😉

Hey it works! I just attached an extra cable wire & attached a splitter & taped it to the walll just a slight higher than the tv. I was able to scan get over 42 channels.

I have never subscribed to cable....All my TV's are digital and pull in 46 OTA channels using various rabbit ear or loop antennas. I am fortunate enough to live central to most ota transmitters in my area....thus getting very high quality reception....good reassuring video telling us we don't need any high-priced fancy schmancy antennas....Thanks....
That's awesome to hear. You are most welcome. All the best.
Yes!!! It worked for me. Thank you!
Howdy, dude! I wish I found your channel before retiring my box tv 3 days ago! I'm buying a flat-screen tomorrow, so...
Can't wait(!) to try your method. What a clever man! And, thanks...for being brief, simple & accurate!

OM Gosh, it works really works GREAT!!!. My 29.99 antenna I just purchased wont even pick up 1 channel. Thank You Sooooo very much!!!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
If you bought an antenna that doesn't pick up any channels then you bought a defective antenna or the cable to it is defective. The paper clip is a neat trick, but ANY functioning antenna should get better reception.
I think we are luckier in the UK as the area of coverage from any particular tv broadcast mast or tower includes all the different tv channels available. Having everything coming from the same direction off the same tower means you can set up and optimise your receiving aerial especially for that particular transmission site and you therefore do not have the problem of trying to receive signals from all different directions with a fixed aerial. We also have in the UK hundreds of relay stations filling in any gaps there might be in the service area of a main transmitter. Some of these relays serve very small areas and populations.
That's great. Thanks for the info.
Thanks so much for this info. I've got a handicapped brother on a limited income, he hasn't had any tv for 2 years. I hope this works for him. Thank you
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching.
Christy Laurin did it work for your brother?
Did it work for your brother?
Yeah did it?!?
You got the paper clip.
Now you need a tv.
Question? I live the n an apartment and wondered if I disconnect the coax cable feeding into my apartment from the box outside and used an antenna using the cable already installed in the apartment, would that work for each cable outlet in the apartment?
Yes it would. I did this in my place too. very handy. All the TV's get signal. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Well............just stuck a wrinkled up paper clip I'm my new 75 inch Samsung and immediately had 12 channels pop up. I had my doubts but this works like a charm and then some. So high five - great tip!!!!
Thank you very much. I am glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching and the kind comments. All the best.

Thanks man got my local news where as the satellite company would charge me for it.💯😊 ...(Edit) it would be nice to see more people on CZcams trying this and telling there results it is always interesting knowing how many channels that anyone can get for free and knowing how people think of it.💯
You're most welcome. I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. I have created a home made antenna that works very well made with coat hangers and I also made a boosted (amplified antenna array) that allows me even better reception here in Texas. I will probably make a video on those components as well. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
It works!!!! Best advice ever!!! The picture is so clear!!!

unbelievable but so true..first try i got up to 50 channels off a 10 cent paperclip ..very awsome information thank u...
Great! Thanks for watching and the feedback. All the best.
It worked! And on the first try. Paper clip pointing straight up.
I get 7 channels in a bottom floor one bedroom apartment in New Braunfels, Texas. They're all 480i resolution. I get "Bounce", "Buzzr" channels and the rest are home shopping type infomercial channels. No network channels at all. It's a KOBS-LD tower 25 miles away and not listed on the FCC map site. That's strange. Thanks for posting this! It tells me I'll have to try a real antenna again which didn't work so well years ago with network channels at 1080i. I didn't even get KOBS-LD.
That's a great start especially on the bottom floor. A better antenna will certainly improve things for you. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Worked like a charm! Thanks from Wimberley TX.

I did this same trick using the existing coaxial cable I had from a previous paid cable connection that lapsed. I cut the end connected to the tv and striped it down to just the copper wire, inserted it and unplugged the other end from the outside sat splitter connection and walla, great antenna reception
That's great! Thanks for the great feedback and watching. All the best.
Thank you for this. I just got a new Samsung smart TV and am trying to learn how to use it and the ins and outs of OTA TV because I have Cox Cable and so far have been without service for 3 weeks had 2 techs come out who had no idea what they were doing and now I’m told I have to wait another week for another tech. I’ve been with Cox for over 22 years and to me this is not acceptable. I’m trying to learn how to do without them and I thank you for your help.
You're most welcome. I'm glad and very happy to know that I could help you. I am sure one of the techs will figure it out. I would call them and ask for a credit on your service though as you are not getting the service currently. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Ig u guys want alot alot of chanels get a paper clip and get a wire with it striped on the end of the wire and u attach it to the paper clip and then u will get like 100+ chanels guys trust it works💯
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to try it.
I just wanted to let you know thank you so much you are one brilliant man! I'm so blessed I found you vid. I didn't had a paper clip around my house but I found a good piece of thin cable kind of those used to wrap craft flowers anyway I contented to my LG TV scan the auto tune chanels and to my surprise I found 100, not only that but they are so clear I belive better than my expensive Antenna I end up throwing away when I got Direct TV wich we canceled after 9 months I told my hubby from the beginning it wasn't a good idea to pay for cable but thank God we canceled. Thank you so, I haven't watch TV in almost three months but once in a while it feels good to seat and watch some.
You are most welcome. I am glad to hear I could help. I don't pay for cable TV either. I just don't think it's a good value. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Most people say they're picking up 35-45 channels. 100 ! You must be living right and/ or in a good spot ( next to a tower ). That's great ! 😍

did it. lol okay we live in the woods. but with an antenna we can get up to 25 channels with the 50.00 antenna. with this i got 23 channels where when i set up my antenna to thier tv it only got 1. lol kids excited i am. thank you.
Can't thank you enough! I was going to originally hook up a splitter till I saw this. I had the paperclip in the junk drawer, so it was a free fix that gave me 27 channels. Love easy fixs that don't cost anything..

Thanks so much for posting this video. That paper clip works perfectly; the channels are so clear.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best.
Oh my god! This totally works!!! 😀 I even took the paperclip out to see if it was just the cable cord and I lost signal but got the signal back when i reinserted the paperclip! 😀 I suggest putting you cable/paperclip assembly in a window if you can...i can attest this works!! Thank you for sharing! 😀👍

it works It already found 100 channels
Amazing! Where do you live? Thanks.
Hook a cable wire to the back of the tv and strip down so far on the wire exsposing the copper wire inside and wrap the copper around a metal clothing hanging and hook the hanger on the wall on a sick pin or a nail or screw will also work for a antenna.I done that and used a splitter and hooked a very week antenna up plus the clothing hanger and I had alot of chanles.Every tv program tower in 60miles it got signle from was pretty good and I was on the second floor in the complex where I live at then I hooked up the same way when I moved into a ground floor apartment and hooked two antinas plus the clothing hanger up to the tv and put one antenna in the window and it done better picked up 6 chanles I didnt have but they were all spanish.
So many ways to make your own antenna for cheaper then you can buy one.I like the paper clip idea with foil on it that someone commented they done.
Also having a antenna amplifier hooked up to each antenna works better even tho you have to run the amplifire off of electricity it is usefull.
