Outdoor Antenna

The cable box is still on the outside of our house but we don't have cable. Can we mount our outdoor antenna beside it and use that coaxal cable (sp?) already there to connect the two together?
The question is...will the antenna work?

yep, they're your wires, you can do as you please with them and the antennae signal will go to any tuner that your cable previously went to

I am now receiving broadcast tv with my present outdoor antenna.Can it be used for digital tv?

Some companies will try to convince you that you need a new antenna for "improved" digital TV reception. This is not true.

The digital channels operate on the existing spectrum for which your antenna was designed. Your old antenna will still work as it always has.

I have a portable tabletop radio with a telescopic antenna, how can I construct a simple outdoor antenna, and how does it connect to the radio

Take a piece of thin wire (22ga or 26ga from Radio Shack)....strip enough insulation off to wrap the telescopic antenna several times to HOLD the wire on it, about 5 or 6 inches will do.....

THEN find a tree or something like a ROOF and take enough wire off the <<50 foot>> or 100 Foot spool and.....

FLING IT !!

Or get somebody that can.....

You'll be getting your local radio stations in no time.....

You didn't expect Germany or Japanese radio did you?
How would you understand them anyways?

I want to hook up an outdoor antenna to watch over the air hdtv, what would be the way to hook it up and distribute the signal to all the cable wall plate that is in all my rooms? its a newer home and has coaxial cable connections in all the rooms, is there anyway i can hook up the tv to those to watch tv from my outdoor antenna?

Absolutely. Make sure the antenna you select has a 75 ohm connector so you can use coaxial cable. Connect the antenna to a "splitter" available at any hardware or electronics store. Connect the cables from the various rooms to the output terminals on the splitter. If the signal is not strong enough you can use a splitter with an amplifier. Since your home is already wired, there may be a central junction already in place, in which case you simply wire the antenna to the junction.

I used to have Dish TV and I now want to buy a outdoor antenna and attach it to the old dish is it possible?

You can certainly use the RG6 coax cable that goes to the dish.
