Insectenna

I use a TV-topper to get my channels. While watching TV and trying to get a signal today, I discovered that the best place to get a signal was up near the cieling, with the antennas (antennae?) sticking out from the wall. So I hung the thing from a nail there, using the loop antenna in the center, and my reception has been flawless all night.

While watching TV tonight, I noticed that the triangular shape of the topper box, combined with the antennae sticking out, looked exactly like a huge cockroach head, and I kept expecting the things to start sweeping back and forth slowly. It was a creepy, unsettling, and slightly fascinating effect. This was the inspiration for this idea.

A TV topper that clings to the wall and moves along the wall, insect- like, searching out the best signal, the antennae slowly sweeping around until optimal signal clarity is achieved. As the signal drifts, the Insectenna follows.
