Years before- when i was a young'un, a TV cable wire had a break in between.
I stripped off the plastic insulation, and connected the central core(wire) of each other making wires like a hook, so that it would be in place and hang. I did not connect the outer metal shield though. I received a good reception in my television, though i had not connected the outer metal shield with each other.
I suppose the metal wire acts like 'Supply' and shield acts like a ground...How can current flow without a ground? How can i get a good reception?
