The antenna may comprise some copper wire and aluminum, but not more than five dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1-52.jpg\" alt=\"Antenna copper rods\" class=\"wp-image-5655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1-52.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1-52-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1-52-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(Caption: Antenna copper rods)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are practical applications for old <a href=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/indoor-vs-outdoor-tv-antenna\/#more-5293\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TV antennas<\/a>. So you can repurpose it and put it to different decorative and functional uses indoors and outdoors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And sometimes, after some troubleshooting, you might find that it still works. Thus, you can use it as a supplementary antenna for your local channels and TV shows.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-can-i-use-an-old-tv-antenna-for\">What Can I Use an Old TV Antenna For?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"donate-to-charity-or-freecycle\">Donate to Charity or FreeCycle<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>When you donate to charity or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Freecycle_Network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The FreeCycle Network<\/a>, they can repurpose them into all kinds of crafts and products.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they can use or resell the items and put the funds to some use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gardening-equipment\">Gardening Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, old antennas have so many applications in your garden. For example, you can use them as trellises.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you have climbing plants, you can use old antennas to support the plants. That way, the plants can grow upwards for better exposure to sunlight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The antenna blends perfectly with plants.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, you can use the antenna metal rod as a potted bench or shed to hang plant pots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"landscaping\">Landscaping<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you love landscaping projects, you\u2019ll enjoy working with an old TV antenna. For example, old <a href=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/tv-antenna-tower\/#more-5324\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tower-style antennas<\/a> will provide support for simple constructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-53.jpg\" alt=\"Old tower-style antenna\" class=\"wp-image-5654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-53.jpg 562w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-53-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(Caption: Old tower-style antenna)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can use the antennas at the base for a footbridge, raised walkway, or any other projects that need support in your compound.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sunshade\">Sunshade<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Often, it would be best to have a sunshade to protect yourself from exposure to UV rays, and that\u2019s where old antennas come in.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the rods of the antenna to support a UV-resistant fabric. As a result, you can create a rigid and strong sunshade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"laundry-airer\">Laundry Airer<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can also use an old antenna as an outdoor laundry airer. For example, you can have a concrete type strongly established on the ground or simply attached to the wall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rustic-decorative-sculpture\">Rustic Decorative Sculpture<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Rather than dispose of an old antenna, you can transform the antenna into an attractive rustic structure you can apply in different ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, clean the antenna, sand it off properly, and apply paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, stick them on the ground in any pattern or design to hang fairy lights, lanterns, bird feeders, and streamers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can design a pile of metal rods from your antennas. For example, weld the rods into rustic and waterproof sculptures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make various designs of varying color shades or those you love best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dispensers\">Dispensers<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Old antenna poles can make raw materials for various DIY home projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can use the poses to make dispensers and holders for foil, toilet rolls, paper towels, cling wraps, or even toilet paper. And that\u2019s not all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you can make curtain rods out of the antenna rods. Or you can design a lampstand using the antenna.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shelving\">Shelving<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Another thing you can make using your old antenna is some shelving on corners and joints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See, the metal struts from the antenna can make classic industrial chic shelving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And these shelves you can install on plumbing connections, which make excellent corners and joints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kitchen-hanging-rails\">Kitchen Hanging Rails<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, your kitchen is not left out as well. For example, you can use the antenna to make hanging rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0You can turn them into S-hooks to suspend your utensils, pans, and pots more conveniently.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"herbs-drier\">Herbs Drier<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Another kitchen use for an old TV antenna is making a suspended herb dryer on the ceiling. To do that, use metal rods, S-hooks, and metal chains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s an excellent way to make your kitchen a more serious cooking space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A place where you speed up the drying process of herbs with minimal strain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"make-shallow-plant-pots-and-bird-bath\">Make Shallow Plant Pots and Bird Bath<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can use defunct <a href=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/how-to-use-old-satellite-dish-as-an-antenna\/#more-5455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">satellite<\/a> dishes from your roof to make pots and bird bathing places.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if the antenna is still functional, you can use them to boost the WiFi signal at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-you-use-an-old-antenna-on-a-smart-tvnbsp\">Can You Use an Old Antenna on a Smart TV? <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, you can use our old antenna on your smart TV. However, you must check its status to ensure it functions properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And sometimes, you may need to do some modifications, like replacing the coaxial cable and other damaged components.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once done, you can connect your antenna to the antenna input at the back of the smart TV.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like digital TVs, smart TVs have an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ATSC_tuner#:~:text=An%20ATSC%20(Advanced%20Television%20Systems,of%20Central%20America%2C%20and%20South\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee)<\/a> tuner that converts the incoming signal from the antenna to pictures on your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0Therefore, a regular antenna will work on your smart TV if it still works.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note, though, that the number of channels you will enjoy will depend on the quality of your antenna, how you\u2019ve aimed it, and the available frequencies within your region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"should-i-keep-a-tv-antenna\">Should I Keep a TV Antenna?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Yes, you should. Because there are various ways you can use it at home. For instance, you can use it for decorative and artistic pieces or utensils in your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you can sell them as scrap metal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, don\u2019t expect to get so much because as much as they contain some aluminum and copper, it\u2019s not so much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-an-old-antenna-receive-digital-signals\">Can an Old Antenna Receive Digital Signals?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>See, both analog and digital television broadcasts use UHF and VHF frequencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And antennas, even the standard type, can transmit both signals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, after troubleshooting and finding that the old antenna still works, it can receive digital signals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-an-old-tv-antenna-be-used-as-a-wifi-booster\">Can an Old TV Antenna Be Used as a WiFi Booster?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely. That\u2019s because there\u2019s a significant gap between WiFi boosters and TV antenna frequencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While an antenna works in a frequency of up to 600MHz, Wifi operates at a whopping 2.4GHz or 5GHz.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Now you know what to do with old TV antenna. And what\u2019s great is that there\u2019s a long list of ways to use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can repurpose them into items you can use as decor or equipment in your kitchen, garden, or compound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you can renovate the old antenna and use it on your smart TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you may not get much when it comes to recycling antennas as scrap metal.
