    Great Antenna - I now get all local channels.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this antenna. First, it solved my dilemma of local channels. I pay Cox $90/month for just internet, but my wife wanted local channels 12, 15, Fox, 3, etc., and I did not want to spend the extra $70/month for something that is free, but our indoor antenna was not getting a good signal from South Mountain. So, I bought this Clearstream 4Max antenna and mounted it to a roof peak about 20 feet high. Problem solved. The install was a bit more involved than a standard install since I had to route the wire down the side of the house, through an existing cable hole in the stucco, then through a cable channel I already had in my family room. But as soon as I removed the old antenna and connected the Clearstream we had a perfect signal on every local channel. My wife is delighted. The coax connection outside is super simple – just screw the provided 50-foot coax to the antenna and run it into the house. Then on the TV side there is a powered connector which provides the antenna IN and TV OUT which is powered by USB. Most TVs have a USB power out. But they also provide a 3-way splitter which can send the antenna signal to up to 3 TVs and I want to connect two more TVs in other rooms, but here’s where it gets a little complicated. I already have COX internet on the interior coax throughout the house, so to use the existing wiring for the antenna signal I’m going to have to do some reconfiguring at the coax junction box outside but we’ll leave that for another day. Bottom line: great product and they give you every thing you need for a basic install.

    Free TV for me!

    Didn't want to pay for cable at seasonal home, so got this antenna and installed it up in the attic. Fished the provided 30ft coax down the walls to basement where I installed the splitter near an outlet. Turns out that I needed the provided amplifier and it helped the signal. I used the antenna point app and honed right in on the best direction to face. Final results was good. Unfortunately, ESPN is not broadcast, so cannot see most sports.

    WORTH IT!!!

    This antenna is simply amazing! I can’t believe I was trying to get live tv without it! I used to have a few local broadcast channels drop in and out which made watching sports aggravating. I live in the DFW area. Now I no longer have that problem! I get way more channels too compared to my flat antenna which is now going in the donation pile. Great device, I would definitely recommend. I have it placed looking out my front living room window but plan on installing it in my attic later.

    Worth the investment

    Excellent so far. I was skeptical about spending $200 on this when I could get the lesser same model for $149. This has cable, a power boost that attaches to the usb input on tv I did install a 36” galvanized pipe to the mast for more height and it’s great. Ione thing I found out this must be leveled both upright and squared,I downloaded the app to see proximities of antennas did take a few minutes to tweak it but so far after a week in the air I’ve got 84 channels and no pixelating and if anyone is in my area fox 13 is the hardest to pull in I use it as my test when adjusting the direction of the antenna. If anything changes in the next few weeks I’ll let you know.

    This antenna is awesome! I replaced one I have had for about 6 years. This new technology has added at least 6 or 7 channels and much more defined picture

  • How long is the amplifier cable, and does it need to be installed closer to the antenna, or the tv, or somewhere else? What gauge is the coax cable (RG59?) and how long is it? Thanks.

    Hello Randall, the amplifier cable is 5ft. and can be connected directly to a USB port on your TV or you can use the USB power adapter with any standard wall outlet. The amplifier should be installed downlead by the TV. There are setup instructions inside the ClearStream 4MAX Complete box with detailed instructions and an illustrated diagram to setup and install the antenna and all the components. We provide RG6 coaxial cable and it is 30ft. in length. We hope you decide to purchase this exclusive item at Best Buy. Thank you!

  • I have a Samsung TV and in the process of cutting the cord. I now currently have just internet from my provider. I assume this antenna gets connected to Antein on the TV. If I have no setup box where do I plug the internet coax cable ?

    Hi JD, thank you for your question! From the cable service point that is leading into the house, run one direct line from that cable service point to the modem. Remove the coax line from the splitter used by the cable service and use a barrel connector to connect the coaxial cable to a dedicated line going to the modem. Then, connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the existing splitter. All TVs connected to the existing line in your home will now have over-the-air broadcast signals. Remember to scan for channels on all the TVs in your home. If you need any further assistance, you can chat with us online at antennasdirect.com or call us at 877-825-5572. We are available 7 days a week to assist you!
