Hi Luis,

	It will take some patience to 'hear' meteors, and it will require a
receiver with an external antenna (cable TV doesn't work).  If it will
help I'd suggest you get a copy of "Beyond Line of Sight, A History of
VHF Propagation from the pages of QST" as good reading.  It was
published by the American Radio Relay League.  There is an entire
chapter on meteor scatter, and other valuable information such as other
radio propagation modes that may complicate listening for meteors. 
There may be some titles people on the list would recommend.

	There are groups of radio amateurs and listeners who have put together
automated systems for 'listening' for meteors on radio frequencies. 
Some of them are on the meteorobs list.  You may try doing a web search
for 'amateur radio astronomy', and / or 'meteor scatter'.
