looks like a waste of your time. for example, cable TV is not Terrestrial, e.g. the signals are not broadcast across "air", they instead travel across coaxial cable and are usually scrambled.

it also won't pick up satellite.

the most this thing will probably pick up is communist tv channels in Laos. exciting.

you are better off getting a google box or similar, threads are on here.

But how can you watch for free? The secret to that is a law that no cable company in the world wants you to know about. It states that every cable company has to provide additionally to the normal signal a over-the-air signal. So in order to not break the law the cable companies distrubute this signal but in a low frequency- so almost no antennas were able to pick it up reliably. Until now - TVScout changes that.
