Stop paying for cable TV! In this video, I'll explain how you can get free broadcast Hi-Def digital TV using an antenna. If you don't have an antenna right now, I'll show you how to improvise one so you can see how many channels you can get. For more information, check out www.disablemycable.com/.

To see how many broadcast TV channels you can get in your area, enter your zip code into the Station Finder: www.disablemycable.com/station-finder/

The Antenna that I am using is the Mohu Leaf:

Thanks!

  • I got fed up with cable company and bought a $29 antenna. I wasn't quite sure about how to get the channels but watching your video did it. Thank you sooooo much!!! :)
  • @kennyc388
    I used the old rabbit ear antenna and I amazingly got 38 channels, nearly all crystal clear. Thank You!!!!!!!!
  • @jaykay5865
    Amazing. Having struggling and providers tend to screw around with billing. This worked for me and I am so grateful. Some channels are better than no channels. Thanx!!!!
  • I live too far out in the stix to get TV from an antenna. So I have to improvise. What i have done works perfect for me.
  • @iyanadee9897
    I must say you are soooo cool.....my main purpose was to search YouTube and find someone who could tell me how to create an antenna without actually having to buy one and you did exactly that. thank you so much I had a cable cord and an extension on hand I was able to do exactly what you said to make a temporary one and it worked like magic I was able to get 13 channels thank you so much

    OMG....THIS WORKED FOR ME!  I got like 12 channels...ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX.  Bless you sir.  The antenna trick really worked for me...I've been suffering with only ABC for like months...and I never thought about trying to make an antenna.  What a dumb idiot.  Thank you thank you so much.
  • What worked for me is cutting the cable wire off leaving just the middle wire and placing it in a dead cable outlet. It works grate thank you so much for sharing!
  • Dude you rock!!! Thanks so much for making this video and showing me how to do this! Huge help!
  • @vestadreamz
    I'm guessing this is an advertisement for the 35 and under crowd who grew up with cable and never knew they could just hook up an antenna. Very smart from a business standpoint.
  • @cakeboss5559
    Thank you. I bought an antenna with no instructions. Finding out what to do with the TV settings helped me. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
  • @davidfearon2772
    IT ACTUALLY WORKS, I DID THIS SCRATCHING MY ASS AND SAYING SUPER KALI FRAG ER LISTIC BACKWORDS THEN I PLUGGED THE COAXIAL IN MY MOUTH GIVING ME 500 CHANNELS, YOUR THE BEST, LOVE YOUR WEBSITE TOO.
  • Thank you sooooo much for the video. I went and purchased the leaf 50 and I am very satisfied!! No more cable bill for $150 month. I highly recommend. Thanks for sharing...

    I live in L.A. and get 72 channels using old, broken rabbit ears into which I have placed wire coat hangers.  To increase reception power, I sometimes toss my vacuum cleaner's 25 ft. long cord over the cable from the tv to the rabbit ears.  The picture comes in crystal clear on my cheap, flat screen tv.   Not rocket science.    
  • Love it live in a apartment with no TV or wifi did this got 14 channels
  • @Lyriesh2
    Thank you so much sir...you are our angel..You see our area have been hit by Supertyphoon Odette. There is still no wifi and faster internet in our area to cater to smart TVs and TV boxes. Our local cable company is still down and no signal. We heavily rely on TV for news and entertainment special my senior citizen parents. After watching your video, i tried it. And although i was only able to find 4 channels, we are so happy because of of the channel is my mother's favorite. When she saw her favorite program tonight, she was soooo happy..Thank you so much...

    I dropped satellite this fall. Was paying $187 a month. Now, I use flat antenna (using RG6 coaxial cable to reduce signal loss) positioned up high on south-facing wall. Most of the TV towers are approximately 7 miles to the south of me. Get 75 channels. I also have a couple of paid streaming services.
  • @VISIONFEED
    Thank you it worked my wife is happy IT WORKS!!!!!
  • @viola1549
    Thanks so much for sharing this resourceful video. This test is so useful in testing whether I will be able to use antenna/air in my area before purchasing one from the store. Many thanks!
  • @lori37100
    I've tried so many amplified antennas and the only thing that works is that i stripped the outside of the coaxial cable and pulled it back and stripped the inner piece back and twisted it around the plug on a 25ft orange outdoor extension cord without the outside of cable touching and it works flawlessly, (UNBELIEVABLY WELL) I put it on a splitter and hooked another tv to it. I will use this as my antenna and hide the orange cord somewhere and purchase another cord. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
  • @RoyRodriquez
    I'm kind of glade he made this. Due to all the new stuff we forget about this 20 yr old stuff..So with that said." THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.." why I thank you. My son secretly look up on how to unplug cable. Cus he did not have the money to pay for his 2015 century t.v stuff and look this video up and WOW. I walked into his room and saw he had an antenna...LMAO..GREAT JOB thanks again.
