What can I use to get the most basic channels on my tv? I cannot find my antenna! ?

Question

No antenna. Any household items can work as an antenna?

Answer 1

depends on how strong the signal is in your area, a wire coat hanger will work in high signal areas, or just a lenth of wire, where i live however only a BIG aerial will do  

Answer 2

Maybe, but it won't work very well and you will probably get a lot of interference.

You can buy a decent new antenna for around $30-50 that will be able to pick up channels within 20 miles.

Answer 3

They are not going to work well.  You really need a real TV antenna for reliable operation.
