what do u hope to pick up with an antenna? There's nothing being broadcast on those frequencies anymore (well almost nothing). You need to plug it into a digital converter or cable box to recieve anything.
well, i realized that after about spending an hour trying to find/make an antenna. I guess the only reason the new tv works with an antenna is because it is digital.

FYI, if u put the logic board into a Color Classic, it will function the same, and for some yet unexplained reason will set the CCs display to 640x480 without any software or screen mods whatsoever. And as far as I can tell causes no damage to the CC. Kind of cool having a little 10" TV at that resolution. More practical in my book than that big honking 520-based TV case.
considering i have an "extra" CC, i tried this, but instead of resetting the screen resolution, it kind of just bunched it up in the left side of the screen, then told me it couldn't boot with the version of Mac OS on the CC, even though it is 7.1 (i think) just like the mactv.
