A few years back for my uncle's retirement party at a restaurant in Richmond, he's a big Canucks fan, and he wanted to watch the playoff game at the same time. All I did was run a 15 foot length of coax down the side of the room to act as an antenna to pick up the CBC OTA signal.
Interesting..

So if you had some coax you could probably just strip back a few feet of the sheathing and just coil it up or something to create an antenna...

MG1, if you’re interested I could whip up something like a coaxial end on a long length of coax or something, on the house.

To tune into the channels do you just go to the cable input and flip around or what?
