That's not cable TV. It's just ordinary free to air broadcast channels being received by a basic indoor antenna. Anyone with a strong signal could do the same. In fact I used to be a TV repair engineer and when we were testing for a signal, we just used to hold a small screwdriver between our finger and thumb and stick it in the antenna input socket and our bodies became an antenna good enough to receive a signal.

Oh this brings back memories of the 60's, metal hang racks, aluminum foil antennas, rabbit ears, and such. Young people today are surprised it seems to pickup broadcasts through antenna instead of a cable TV service, yet that's the ONLY way before the 60's and most cities and towns only had the big 3 channels (ABC, CBS, NBC) and sometimes one or two UHF channels with reruns on them.

Very true, where I lived we could also get Showtime and Disney but you had to crinkle the foil around the input cable to the box and slide it up or down on the length of cable until you tuned it in well enough to watch, then came the popular science magazines diy section for building coils, chokes and inductor circuit blocks that eliminated the foil and brought in more clearer channels like HBO and TMC until the cable companies found that they were losing megabucks and fought back with intelligent cable packet programming while using negative and positive traps, mostly on the polls. The negative traps could be defeated but the positive traps were worth there weight in gold almost as they could not be defeated.

This is way old school from the 1950's when they used things called "rabbit ears". It works fine for all UHF and VHF channels in metro areas but the farther you are from the tower the less it works. Obstructions like buildings and trees also effect it. Enjoy the way it used to be.

[@jduff8604]

Been doing this since I was a little dude! Always into electronics of all kinds! But yes you can use speaker wire, a thumbtack, & almost any piece of metal, even a paper clip….It’s NOT actual “cable channels” but over the air local channels which can still be a BIG help to at least watch news & local channels in your area…better to watch something vs. nothing….

[@thegallantsaint2034]

That would all depend on the signal right? I recently bought an indoor antenna which had zero reception and had to return it. So I don’t think a wire would help either in my case?

[@karenphanson]

@@thegallantsaint2034 If you get no signal, you are correct, you will not receive anything. A wire of course can act as an antennas, however if you have children, or "curious" types around, it might be preferable to get something that has covered/safe wires. I purchased a few antennas because my signal strength is so bad where I live. I moved up each time to ones that supposedly went further and further and used power. Still bad reception. I gave up watching over the air digital (not cable channels) and opted for a Fire Stick and paying for Internet.

[@kurtwm2010]

what you are receiving has nothing to to with "hidden cable TV". Your cable acts as an antenna and is receiving over-the-air channels. They are broadcast via TV/broadcast towers that are within approximately 60 miles of your home-made antenna. It just so happens that some of the stations you are receiving are also available on cable tv.

If you wrap your speaker wire around the cable about 30 times you can electrically induct hidden cable stations that you would ordinarily get for free with your cable tv subscription. Hole magnets (get them at the home depot or lowes) can increase the signal as well I found.

Cable companies are a rip off. Not only do you pay for local channels you can get with a simple antenna, but the prime channels you do pay for have commercials now so they're as annoying as any of the free channels. We ditched cable nearly 12 years ago, put up an antenna, and our daughter and her hubby gifted us a Room stick a few years back. We are retired and don't have enough time to watch everything available to us! My favorite is KZbin on Roku. If I want to comment I grab my smartphone and hop on to comment.

Thank you so easy and works great!

[@genuineman405]

Back in the 70s you often saw cars with wire coat hanger for radio receiver. Worked well to.

ologyhosting.com/whmcs/aff.php?aff=479 this is cable for 14 buck i use it 2 years now no problems what so ever

[@cececaldwell9463]

Just came from twitter! Keep up the work with your KZbin and helping others! Thank you!

[@helprehouseourvets6919]

You can buy a cheap $5 long rabbit ears (RCA 111R indoor antenna) right off eBay to do the same exact thing. I bought mine for $3 right out of a local thrift store!

[@mustangflyer6878]

The ignorance of some people is absolutely staggering. Hey Macgyver jr, I have some snipe traps guaranteed to work for the very low price of $10,000 each.

[@larry45044]

you would get these channels anyway air antenna has always been a lottery 4 me sometimes you get them sometimes you dont-glad this works for you!

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

Great way of putting it 😁

[@edvango]

I guess this is for the new generation kids to know. Cause we been doing this back in the big O tube TV days.

[@wgonzo3964]

i figured this out back when I was a kid lmao. i didn't realize many folks had no clue wire can do many cool things.

[@manditapiapace6146]

Hello there, hoping for a chance to get some relief during this crazy time. Teacher with husband who lost job and three kids! Thank you for all you do!

[@omarscomingyo651]

hahahaha thats a home made antenna and you are getting digital channels, no cable, but i appreciate that you are the type of person that shares. if everyone was like us, the world will be a better place keep it up!!!

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

😁

[@irvingjr17]

I just got 65 channels . Thanks

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

Welcome !!!!! Please share the video !!! :)

[@washawnbryant3951]

what exactly did you do & what if I don't have a speaker wire what can I do please !!!

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

Depends on the area really. You can use just a coaxial wire with the other end of it touching the male part to some metal !

[@paigemoore6955]

You can use a paper clip too

[@carpediem8979]

Brilliant! Next maybe he can tell us how we can also listen to some radio stations for free without paying for Sirius XM. Oh, I forgot. We already get free radio stations over the air and have been since at least the 1930’s.

[@Arcturian1111]

Worked Flawlessly. Took me 3 minutes. I ran a line out by the window.

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

😁👍🏻 Glad to hear ! Please share !

[@johnyoung468]

I have been using old rabbit ears for 3 or 4 years now. I get 11 stations where i live too. I had a set of them & i bought a set of rabbit ears a yard sale for $1.00. I have them hooked to the TV in the bedroom. I have the other ones hooked to the TV in the Livingroom. I have a great picture on both TV'S.

[@tonys4250]

Add a little tin foil and you can get more channels.

[@c2h2o9c9olate]

I live in the country where there is no cable except maybe on the 'net. The channels you are getting are OTA (over the air) and NOT cable channels. I get around 32 to 43 channels the same way but I have a much longer wire that goes up on a telephone pole near my house, around 30ft tall.

[@BlackStorm555]

Did this in the late 80s early 90s. With a VCR. Miss those days😢

[@nigelschmidt6560]

Just a heads up most hdtv come pre-installed with a digital converter. Hence in this video all channels programmed were under "D"TV not AIR. Analog is a thing of the passed. If Yu our flat screen TV does not have a digital converter pre-installed this will not work you will still need to get a digital converter box.

[@honzaschmidt4544]

přesně tak souhlasím

[@lucylima3623]

Omg your awesome a tiny speaker wire and got 19 channels right away wow . Thank you so much

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

Thanks for the support !! Please share the video !! 😁

[@ssharanappshindhe5935]

Which 19 channelscame

[@liasmith614]

This is cable channels to me. Thank you

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

😁👍🏻

[@DokuFREENET]

This is not cable, its air

[@uncledano3714]

Well what did you think an antenna was made of? - yes, a piece of wire!

[@rebekahchaplin9018]

LOVE this video !!!! Going to try this to my moms TV, wish me luck.

[@msjw1997]

Dude, you've gotten over 8 million views!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

😎👍🏻

[@jamiemease2220]

Not free cable, that is how antennas work. Broadcast has always been free

[@cat-lw6kq]

As a kid I watched tv in the 1950's it was free and it's still free over the air.

[@laurenficklin2437]

💙 Subscribed and notifs on 🥰

[@adrokconsultants5874]

the key issue is to have local Digital video broadcasting stations around, plus your TV tuner to see/decode them because there are 2 standards T1 and T2 for DVB Tv stations. So if you live in a big city ,you might be covered with a few air broadcasting channels ,but otherwise....

[@AJsGreenTopics]

This might be old school but you have a lot of views. Keep up the great work. 😎

[@Macgyverjrofficial]

😁 Thank you ! I love bringing back the old school stuff ! Please share !

[@sethparrow04]

I got 8 channels by sticking a paperclip in mine

[@enriquerojas1604]

I tell as many people as possible. I have been doing this for 12 years. I bought an 4 bay antenna with an amplifier. Good not to pay cable fees. It justified the big screen tvs I bought over the years.

[@bobdelmar9569]

I believe that if you want to receive cable channels you will need cable TV. Local Stations are something else though

[@dummonkey1706]

I get like 27 channels I'm off an antenna with 30 apartments on it that is a good idea though I didn't know that would still work we used to do it with the old TVs put a metal clothes hanger on the end of your wire it'll help your reception even better make it into a circle LOL that's old school.

[@ociehand5297]

me too 😂😊

[@Gbee-cp2rg]

This! We perpetually had an upside down wire hanger in the tv as a kid, and you would change it’s shape or turn it to get better reception.
