Customer Ratings & Reviews

I live out the boonies, and this antenna works great. My only issue with it is it should come with a coax cable. It does state on the box, that it doesn’t have coax. But most people don’t read the box. The sales person said it came with a short cable.

I have experimented with a few OTA antennas, and this one by far is the best I’ve ever experienced! Gets over 50 clear channels! I didn’t even have to mount on my roof. I mounted right outside my window seal. I’m sure mounting on the roof would bring even more fortune! This is a 5 star winner in my book.

I recommend the clearstream 2 Max indoor/outdoor HDTV antenna. When people get tired of paying high cable bills they will consider this one time purchase and invest in this item to save money and watch tv for free.

I was surprised with reception & picture quality! I am able to get over 40 local channels. (Only watch 4 for local news) I did end up putting the antenna in my attic, and ran the wire through the interior wall where the TV hangs on. Took a little bit of time, but looks like a pro’s have installed it.

Probably the best indoor antenna you can get. I get 43 channels. Unfortunately many are music/ religious/ PBS/ Latino/government and kids. Hung it high above my wall mounted bedroom tv. Doesn’t look bad.

Works great, I put it on my direct tv mount after taking off their dish and it works for every room in the house.

I love it so much. It brings in a lot of channels and I was really surprised. The assistant was very kind and I love the way he treated me.

I've tried several different indoor antennas, I would get 5 to 6 channels after scanning, and don't let it rain, this became very frustrating for my wife and I. Picked up this antenna for BB, install/config, and voila, I picked up ~50 channels, I was astonished, so much so, that I ran the auto scan again to be certain. This antenna is the bomb.dot.com, and I highly recommend it as an indoor antenna option. I went directly to antennasdirect website this specific model is out of stock if that is any indication. Hope this helps to eliminate frustrations expereinced by others. Peace and blessings, Azeke

I bought the Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Clear stream 2Max OTA Antenna just to test it as an outdoor antenna. There was no doubt in my mind that it would not work as well as I wanted it to, and that I would return it. So I put it on my roof but did not mount it down and pretty much got the same channels I was getting before. I went back and adjusted the antenna slightly in another direction, rescanned the channels again and WOW!, I could not believe it, my channel line up went from 29 channels to 44 clear channels with no pixels. the digital indicator on my Yamaha 6.1 receiver indicated digital source and the picture and surround sound is incredible. Grant it , it is still Winter and the leaves are not on the thousand trees I have in my back yard, but right now everything is great. I am getting channels 60 + miles away. This Clear stream 2Max OTA Antenna for me is a keeper.

This antenna is very easy to hook-up right out of the box. Pulls in a great signal with better picture quality than the local cable company provided. It’s sitting on an end table in front of a large bow window. I have it positioned facing the towers in my area which are about 10 miles away. I returned the first antenna I purchased @ Best Buy. It had a built in amplifier and performed less than satisfactory.I Should have saved myself the inconvenience and bought the Clearstream 2 Max from the beginning. I get all the local channels and then some!

So, spending $80 on an antenna for Over The Air broadcast was a little off-putting and I went into this with high hopes, but low expectations. Upon opening the package I was actually a little worried as to its performance due to it's relative small size and seemingly weightlessness to it. It just feels like hollow plastic with a couple sticks that you can adjust (either up or down) on its sides. A feeble attempt to set it up indoors fell short of any channels, as expected. Not a single one came in. Lots of interference and I totally expected nothing. So, with a satellite dish already installed on the house from previous owners I decided to utilize the already installed mounting bracket for this antenna. Basically the same setup that comes with the 2MAX, but I didn't have to do the hard work, just removed the dish from the mounting post and placed the 2MAX in the same spot and faced it in about the same direction the dish was at. Basically pointed it towards the open part of the yard. Ran the channel search option on the Vizio TV (after running the antenna wire through the basement and directly to the TV) and after about a 3-5 minute scan I had broadcast TV! And way better quality than when I was a kid! I expected some channels to come in, but I didn't expect HD quality pictures, which include NBC, PBS, FOX and some other channels. A good amount to select from and all equally as good HD quality. I know location has a lot to do with it and relative distance to the broadcasting antennas, but if you've got those working with you then this antenna is a sure hit. Lightweight, easy install, extremely simply design. Just make sure you get yourself a long enough antenna cable if you have to install outside. I got the 50' wire for about $15 from bestbuy and it works great too.

WEAK RECEPTION. I wanted to replace a $10 set of rabbit ears. I immediately lost reception to half (about 60) of my channels. The indoor "stand" that comes with it is utterly unstable, the slightest bump and the thing topples over with acrobatics. Large, clunky, and wayyyyy OVERPRICED.

I've been a cord cutter for more than a decade and dealt with the vagaries of a changing skyline around us and unpredictable weather. Living in lower Manhattan, the issue isn't signal strength but rather multi-path signals from reflections off all the buildings around us. In the days before digital TV, that meant severe ghosting and a picture that was unwatchable. With today's digital TV, the picture is either perfect or not there at all, and even with transmissions from only a few miles away, a rain shower can cause the picture to break up. We can receive some 50 channels, but ever since the new World Trade Center was completed, half of them are broadcast from there with the other half from the Empire State Building, 90 degrees in the other direction. Living inside a steel-frame building, no single indoor antenna could capture all stations from both directions. Using a so-called omni-directional antenna or combining multiple indoor antennas actually made the problem significantly worse, and amplifying the signal made no difference at all. An amplified bad signal is still a bad signal. After reading many reviews, we decided on this antenna. It claims to pull in stations from 60 miles away, but that was not an issue for us. We just needed to be able to pull in stations from several city blocks away. Most outdoor antennas, however, are highly directional and cannot handle the off-axis signals that predominate in New York. Although directional, the ClearStream 2MAX has one of the best off-axis signal capture profiles of any antenna on the market. In theory, aiming it between the two transmitters should still yield a usable signal. In actual practice, our first attempt was a complete bust. With the antenna mounted directly over one of the building's largest steel support beams, there was no usable signal at all. With a longer cable and by mounting the antenna directly to the railing of our terrace, the reception was perfect. For the first time since we cut the cord some 12 years ago, we are able to pull in all stations in all kinds of weather, without fail. This is a very large antenna but when it comes to pulling in a stable digital signal, size really does matter. Pros: Excellent signal quality, multiple mounting options, easy to position. Cons: Large and unwieldy, does not come with cable, which the user must supply, no options or instructions for proper grounding - the user must supply their own grounding block and look up instructions for use on their own.

Exceptional quality and value. Mounted antenna on top of entertainment center in living room using the provided mounting post. After installation, scanned for local HD digital channels and made one adjustment by turning the antenna slightly off center. Got all local channels in HD with an amazing crystal clear picture.

This is a review of the Clearstream 2MAX Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna – with 60+ mile range. I tested the antenna in all four rooms to find the room with the best reception. My next step was to drill holes between the rooms. Finally, using RG6 coaxial cable and 2-way coax Splitters – I was able to link all four of my TV’s to the one Antenna which was located in the middle of the house. I ran the antenna channel finder on each TV and was able to pull in 22 channels. These are the channels that I listed in my Favorites. I actually ended up with two additional channels that were not in the Cable Basic package and as you can see the reception is excellent. I hope this has been beneficial

This antenna is the perfect setup for really clear local channels.

Thought this didn't work at first, but when the technician came to install my Blink cameras, he suggested outside hang, because of metal roof. Oh my, what a difference, clear pictures and even more channels from when it was inside. Good Buy. Now my mother wants one in her guest room. Now when I go to our cabin I can kick back and watch tv. Blink cameras are also a good purchase.

Bought this and brought it home, ready to install and enjoy some tv. Nope... Product does not come with the needed coax cable to connect to the television. Installation instructions state that the cable is sold separately. Nowhere on the outside of the box does it say a coax cable must be purchased separately. Will be returning this and will never buy another Clearstream product.

Very easy to set up and looks great. It was noticeably better than the old, cheapo antenna. I use it indoors so reception is not perfect. I wish there were more options for mounting indoors. Looks good!

This antenna works great! I was using one of those "paper thin" antennas and it would always cut in and out. This one picks up way more channels and doesn't cut out at all. Signal strength is excellent! I'm using this inside my house right next to the TV. Very excited about this antenna!
