There is this thingy being posted on the web stating it turns house hold wiring into an antenna.

Looks to be using the house ground wire as antenna extension. Doubt it actually works due to the electricity running through the AC wires. Any one here actually know about this?
 

It does what it says as far as using the house wiring as an antenna. AC on the wires is not an issue unless the unit fails and allows that AC voltage to get into your device via the antenna jack. Basically they are garbage. If it works so will rabbit ears.
 
yep i remember a version that had a tuner and so239 so you could use it as a monitor for cb,,, it had a 3 prong plug but it only was using the ground pin,,,, that was back in the day,,,,
