Antennas Direct - ClearStream 2V Long-Range HDTV Antenna - Black/Silver

I used the youtube assembly video from the Antennas Direct website to assemble this antenna because it was easier to understand and made a lot more sense then the instructions which came with the antenna. I mounted it in my garage on top of a tool shed. I used 3/8" bolts and nuts instead of the screw bolts that came with the antenna. I chose this antenna because I could mount it far away from the TV. The old antenna was a small flat HDTV antenna which we set next to the TV and had to change positions for each channel, not good!! The reception is very good but we're only 5 miles from the TV towers. I mounted it facing the TV towers and haven't had to adjust it at all. I used a 25 foot RG6 coax cable from the antenna to a wall mounted coax outlet and then used a 12 foot RG6 coax cable from the wall mount to the TV. Easy to work with, great reception

I bought this open-box item at Best Buy yesterday ($20 savings). I'm in a ground-level apartment, with no outdoor-facing walls facing south, where my broadcast towers are located (30-35 miles away). So, an indoor antenna performed only fair (missing some channels). I set this Direct ClearStream 2V unit up on my patio facing south (5' high, no pole). it's working perfectly! I'm now getting ALL the best local OTA digital channels. The picture-quality is amazing (OTA digital quality is better than cable because it’s not compressed). Combined with my Roku, I'll never go back to paying a cable company $90 per month just for 150 channels, most of which I do not watch. Be a cord-cutter!

I purchased the antenna to be able to watch tv. The previous products would not allow me to catch all the local channels. The antenna is wonderful in catching all the channels. It also allows me to get the channels when it's windy and raining outside. The channels don't freeze and I'm able to view channels more than 45 miles away. I love being able to watch a movie without worrying about it freezing or losing a signal

The antenna was easy to assemble. I was able to tie it into the existing cable TV wiring built into the house by replacing the original external cable feed with the antenna feed. The signal was not strong enough for all rooms in the house. I installed a preamp in the cable box powered by 12 volts that was on the coax running from the TV. All rooms have good picture now. Beware the antenna is fragile and not likely to last through a major storm or icing. Given the option, I would have installed it in the attic.

I recently cut the cord and cancelled my Directv. I tried various indoor antennas but finally settled on this Clearstream 2v antenna. I installed it in my attic and ran the coaxial to the cable splitter from the directv satellite. After some adjustments on the angle and direction it works great. I have good signal on all my tvs.

I was a little skeptical about putting up such a small antenna after having used large Yagi antenna's in the past, but I have been more than impressed with this antenna. I'm located in the Eastern Panhandle of WV, and are (on average) 60+ miles from transmission towers located in Washington DC and Baltimore, MD, with hilly terrain separating my location and those towers. Most all of our channels are in the UHF ranges, however there are a few that are on the higher end of the VHF range. Fortunately my house sits high on a hill, with a clear line of sight east. I didn't want to roof mount something like I had in the past, but wanted to see what I could get with an attic mount. So, I gave the ClearStream a try, and was prepared to add a pre-amp to it if need be. Before I mounted in the attic, I sat the antenna on the floor of my Master Bedroom, which sits on the first floor of the house, and has a bathroom between it and the direction of the transmission towers. Even with it sitting on the floor, I picked up some stations, with one being an ABC affiliate out of Baltimore. I've attached pictures of those results. With it mounted in the attic, and with no pre-amp, I'm picking up all major broadcasters out of Washington, DC, as well as most out of Baltimore, MD. (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW, etc.) Some stations are almost 70 miles from my location, and even in the attic, with no pre-amp, I'm picking up UHF and VHF stations from long range, with signal strength in the 60-75% range. I have been really blown away by the results I've gotten. I was just hoping to pick up a few of the affiliates, but have been pleasantly shocked that I get way more. I actually get the same number of channels I used to get at my old house where I had a deep fringe Yagi with a rotor and a pre-amp. The ClearStream 2V is an amazing antenna and definitely worth the cost.

Great buy, just wish I'd purchased it earlier. The HD that's received over the Clearstream seems to be a higher clarity over the cable or satellite, guess those guys have a higher compression ratio on the signal, not sure. I'm in the Atlanta area and I've got the antenna mounted in the attic and I'm about 30 miles from the source and still pulls in around 18 channels. The antenna assembles in minutes, very easy to do. Solid construction and easy to follow instructions, not that you'll need them. It even comes with tar strips in case you want to mount the unit on top of your shingle roof. If you're thinking about ditching your cable or satellite company, this will do a great job, haven't even missed it!

I purchased this antenna yesterday and I was blown away by how well it worked. I decided to mount it on the roof where an old satellite dish was since the cable was already run and post mounted. Took about 25-30 minutes to take the satellite off and mount this antenna. It's approx. 10 feet off the ground. I did a channel scan and our available channels went from 2 to 21! We are picking up stations that are a little over 50 miles away. I will say that I am using the amplifier from the old indoor antenna we had, but I plan on testing without it just to see how much of a difference it makes. The trees are still bare so hopefully we won't lose any channels once the leaves are out. So far, I'm really happy with this antenna, and for a one time fee of $99.99, we now have 21 channels to watch!!!
