Back during the FIFA World Cup, I got tired of hunting places playing the games. I didn't have cable and had no interest in paying to watch. So, I went out and bought an antenna and connected it directly to the TV.

Fast forward a few months later, my wife was tired of looking at the precariously balanced antenna and asked me to move it. As temps had finally dropped, I went into the attic and installed the thing. Ran the cable around the beams and down a tube into the house. Got the idea to buy a splitter so I could share the antenna between the main TVs.

First thing I watched were the final 15 minutes of ST:TNG season 2, episode 9, The Measure of a Man. RIP Sir Patrick Stewart.

Having recently done this myself, I might add:

  • If your bathrooms don't have exhaust ventilation or if the duct size is too small, redo it
  • Any pipes or ducting in the attic should be properly insulated
  • Interconnected smoke alarms
  • Passing network/speaker wire in strategic areas of the house for access points, cameras or speakers
