ahhhhh….I remember the good ol’ days of foil antennas……or would that be “antennae?”
its so the government can’t see what they are watching on TV
What no diy pre-amp to go with it?
Take me to your leader.
Is this the Redneck converter box?
Everyone assume Fox viewing positions!
And you can wear it as a hat! Blocks 99% of CIA transmissions while picking up even the weakest signals from your Venusian controller.
Is the cone on top for catching rainwater to help increase electrical conductivity?
Princess Fiona – do you happen to own a red van?
Woaw!It looks like its double action!Radio plus solar panel powered!
Antenna Origami
I’d do that to my radio, too, if it had two antennas…
The cat’s out of the bag. My Plutonian cover has been unmasked. Damn the people in that red van.
Yup, I remember them days..
You think thats bad you should see how they made the dog and cat ‘better’
Before they waste any more aluminum foil, someone should tell them it’s only a waffle iron.
then a really bad b-rated movie will be made about it
Is this person trying to get free HBO?
“Yeah it looks ugly but it picks up all five channels crystal clear!”
A few more pieces of foil, and the whole thing will spell “HELP!” in semaphore.
“Buzz Lightyear to Star Command. Star Command, can you read me?!”
@The Cat
Yeah, I get seven!
Hahaha, sweet! Must have a perfect signal for that baby.
They had to do something after dad made them get all the DVDs out of the room
Go down to Radio Shack and get a VHF/UHF signal preamplifier and you won’t need all the metal confetti.
I found balloon boy!!!!
Tired of always gazing at the sky, Batman decided to upgrade the Bat Signal
Title anagrammed: Woe! Dang tinfoil badly ebbs!
I know what this is.. It is a solar powered microwave. Each piece of foil contains foods that are being heated by the sunshine through the window. This will revolutionize how we prepare and heat food while satisfying the environmentalists in the process!
Communications from the mothership can be so tough to receive sometimes!
Being born in a time that does not require the use of bunny-ear-antennae, I’m a little confused… Does the excessive foil and symmetrical pattern really enhance the reception? or is this some feeble attempt at making the bunny-ears look cool??
This is almost as awesome as the homemade DTV antenna I put together. And it actually works!
E.T. phone home!
Constructed entirely from recycled tin-foil beanies!
I know a little about antennas as a technician … won’t swear to it but I’m pretty sure that all this person has done is short circuit any reception the rabbit ears might actually have had. (The homemade antenna Pat mentions, though, should work.)
@too young
i have found it really depends on the type of anttenta on how well the foil works
i too and to young but my parents kinda brought me into the past for a few weeks before satellite TV got to us
This is so the don’t have to move to cook popcorn for the made for T.V. movie that they will be viewing crystal clear on the CW
This kinda reminds me of the tin foil guy from Be Kind Rewind…
Nah just ripping off satalite TV and radio signal.
Now, it catches alien signal
You’d actually be surprised at how well foil is in boosting a reception… Just have to do it right.
E.T. was here.
And the top of it is a dish of some sort, on a count of all them radio stations have satellites?
After losing government funding, SETI has had to get creative.
HAHAHA!
Must not have got the memo about the “big switch”
The Dixie flag’s on the other side.
NOOO! Youv’e foiled my plans to convert cable users into satellite users!
