Pirate TV/FM Radio
I needed a way to watch footage on all my Analog TVs so I built a Pirate VHF ATV station. I've gotten about 110m with a single booster and whatever the ebay VHF mod can do. I would like to boost it more but their is a risk of boosting the amount of interference.
This Photo Shows the AV ~ HDMI (Yes I know HDMI, Its 2024) converter going into the VHF modulator (Cheapie Ebay buy of course). As all of my TVs run Pre - 1993 Aussie tuners and this modulator doesn't out put on those frequenies i've got it running on Western European VHF 11 because they line up with each other. VHF 11 had the least interference in my local area. I will drop the graph I used to pick channels below.
This photo shows the single standard booster boosting up to 30Dbi exiting straight to an old pair of rabbit ear antennas.
I think these are circa 1980s rabbit ear/dished antennas with some king of non-electric booster, this is rather directional so signal changes based on what side of the dish your on. No biggy 110 ~ 125 meters is sill killer.
And these are the logos I use on the VHF 11 Channel. 'TTCB VHF CH11' (The Timberlee Co Broadcasting)
