Help, Digital TV UHF antenna needed for 21-69 channels
 

Hi,
I just bought digital Terrestial receiver for TV and I need to build
antenna for that. I live in an area with common antenna for several
houses.
Unfortunately digital channels are not delivered via this wire.

Could someone provide instructions to build antenna for UHF
channels 21-69, actually channels 23 (490 MHz), 34 (578 MHz) and 58 (770
MHz) are needed. It would be nice if materials were such that are found
from house, foil, electric wire, 75 ohm. coax, wood....

Broadcastin TV antenna is in dist. 25 km.

Won't an ordinary UHF tv antenna for channels 14-69 work? I'm not sure
whether the receiver is digital or analogue would call for anything
special. RF is RF.

Go to your local Radio Shack/TV store and buy a UHF antenna. They come
in all sizes. Your landlord/building association can not prevent you
from installing the antenna unless they want to provide the digital
signal for you. FCC rules.
