QuestionCan this be attached to existing cable coming into house? Thereby working on all the connected to cable inside?
Asked 8 years ago by Notch.
- Answer Yep. I ran coax from the antenna to the distribution box. This is where all the coax start their run to the various TVs I own. I simply disconnected the cable companies coax connector from the input connector on the splitter, and connected the coax from the antenna to the input on the splitter. I now have three TVs getting their signals from the antenna.

Questionwhat sets this new model apart from same like similar models manf. by clear stream.
Asked 8 years ago by flexible.
- Answer The Clearstream 2 Max differs from the Clearstream 2 V in a couple of key ways. The Clearstream 2 Max is easier to assemble and is more multi-directional than the Clearstream 2 V. The Clearstream 2 V has a 70° pickup path from the front of the antenna with a 3-leaf pattern from the rear of the antenna. The Clearstream 2 Max has a 70° pickup path from the front and back.

Questioncan you use existing cable from dish network to hook up
Asked 5 years ago by tvguy.
- Answer Yes, you can use the coaxial cable from you dish. Typically, a satellite dish has 2 coaxial cable lines going from the dish to the receiver. You’ll want to check that the correct line is connected. Also, if the dish signal was going to more than one location, you likely need to replace the splitter in the distribution box, usually located outside your home, with a full-range (by-pass) splitter. You can try the connection without changing the splitter first, but oftentimes, satellite companies install a splitter that have filters built-in to eliminate unwanted frequencies. After you check the coax line connection, be sure the antenna is facing the correct direction towards the towers and then do a channel scan on your TV using the remote. If you need more in-depth assistance, give us a call at 877-825-5572.

Questionhow long of a coax cable is included with it? what type of coax cable is it? can it be extended and if so what is the max length it can be?
Asked 8 years ago by buyer1.
- Answer The Clearstream 2 Max does not include coax cable. The recommended type of coax is RG-6 for indoor use, and RG-6 Quad Shield for outdoor use. The maximum length of coax that can be used depends heavily on your location and the signal variables there.

QuestionHow to connect this when you use a Roku stick?
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The antenna connects to your TV via a coaxial cable connected to the F-connector on the back of your TV (coaxial cable sold separately). Your Roku Stick connects to a HDMI port on the back of your TV. Once the TV antenna is connected, you can switch inputs between the Roku and the antenna.

QuestionI live in 85145. About 40 miles from the towers if I checked correctly. Tried the Mohu 50 and only got 7 channels. None of the major 4 which is what Im seeking. Would this one do the trick for more channels? It would be mounted indoors
Asked 6 years ago by marimer.
- Answer I just returned a MOHU 50 for this Clearstream. The MOHU scanned 48 channels with about 1/2 with viewable pictures. This Clearstream, mounted in the attic, scanned 68 channels with perfect pictures on all of them, including the few with test patterns. Amazing results.

QuestionBest Buy's description says that the ClearStream 2MAX amplifies the OTA signal. What is the dB gain? And from where is the amplification power derived? I don't see an external power source in the picture.
Asked 7 years ago by BobF.
- Answer The Clearstream 2 Max has 8-9 dB gain for the UHF band and between 2-3 dB gain for VHF band, depending on the specific frequency. The gain is created by the shape of the antenna, and the balun. It is not an "amplified" antenna because there is no external power source. When Best Buy says the Clearstream 2 Max amplifies the OTA signal, they are most likely referring to the higher than average gain for the size and shape. I am sorry for any confusion caused. Thanks for your time!

QuestionHow is the reception for VHF channels? The specs say its frequency range is 470-700MHz which is outside of the VHF range. I have a local station TX at 270 MHZ at 50 miles and want to ensure it will be received.
Asked 8 years ago by thatguy.
- Answer I can pick up all of the major stations in my area: NBC (186MHz), PBS, (210MHz), CBS (192MHz), FOX(204MHz) and ABC (488MHz). Antenna is in my attic sitting on a AC duct, connected to existing cable coax. Picture quality is great for these stations. I get 66 channels (included all 6 PBS stations,, ie, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc that I couldn't get with a flat leaf antenna). Hope this helps.
