This is just a question out of security. I have a smart tv, that used to not get normal cable tv. Now it has the ant/cable in slot. I made a make shift antenna for it by using a busted cord. Now the connector to the tv was fine but one end looked like it had been cut off. I cut it down a lil bit and stripped it so the copper wire in the center is exsposed. I have plugged it into the tv and now it receives lots of channels. BUT I can't help but wonder, is this bad for the tv or will it be alright? If ANYONE has any info on this issue it would be greatly appriciated.
