i was reading in a local paper about about something about the signals being over the air and you can pick them up for free

has anyone tried this?

you can make one yourself. I made one and I know many in this forum have done it too.

I didn't even need the shoe box. All I needed was a hanger (the metal type), pair of pliers, a coaxial cable and the terminal bar, which I bought from The Source. Oh and some double sided tape to tape it to my window.

mind you, you only get certain HD channels (as far as I know) and depends on where you live. For example I only get CBC, CTV and Global

there's been like 3 posts across RS on how to do this, it isn't hard, try a search or google. I believe you need line of sight to Grouse in Van

With nothing more than a couple feet of 2x4, some tin foil, and cut up clothes hangers, my buddy got free HD just in time for the NHL playoffs. :D

Or if you're lazy, they carry a variety of indoor HD antennas as XS Cargo for $15-$20.
