Excellent Antenna!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this antenna a week ago. After reading some of the reviews I decided to go to Best Buy and buy this antenna. Best purchase I have gotten in a long time. I had the leaf which only gave me one main network and a few other channels not worth watching. Home shopping networks. I hooked up my new antenna and put it up high in my room for better reception. After tuning in my channels I now received all three major network channels and quite a few other like Fox Network and a movie channel. This antenna is wonderful! So now after my one year is up with Directv and I am going to cut the cord. I am tired of trying to get a good deal for a year or two. I was really surprised on how excellent it works. Most of the channels have HD quality. I live in town and some of the channels I get are about 60 miles away. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to all.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Picture quality
Working GREAT For Me
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, let me qualify my review by saying I live in Los Angeles County and have a direct line of sight to the TV towers on Mt. Wilson. I mounted the antenna on the peak of my roof for an unobstructed sight-line to the tower... which are about 40 miles as the crow flies. Putting the antenna together was easy and it appears to be very sturdy. It mounted easily as well using the mounting hardware that came with the antenna. I hooked the antenna to an Amazon Fire Recast DVR and the 1080 HD picture quality rivals the FiOS picture I dumped.

Posted .Hello, we are sorry to hear you did not have a great experience with our ClearStream 2MAX. There are various reasons that could be causing interference with the TV signals, such as other electronics in your living space or where the towers are located could be on the opposite side of your home. Also, sometimes the signal is not even present in your living space. In a condo, it can be tricky finding "the sweet spot". Therefore, we always recommend installing the antenna up as high as possible in a room or outdoors. We also have a free app called Antenna Point you can download to your iOS or Android phone. Once you download, the app will identify your location. You will see the towers in the surrounding area, so you aim the antenna in the right direction to pick up the TV signals. If you have not already returned the product and this does not help, please give our tech support team a call at 877-825-5572 and they will perform a FREE signal analysis, this will better assist them in pinpointing what the problem may be. We appreciate your purchase and feedback.
Don't buy it - Get the Leaf instead
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this for a second TV because it was rated well as a non-powered antenna. it gets half the channels that our Mohu Leaf powered antenna does. Get the Leaf instead.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t waist your money on looks, wait until one is backed by a company that can really make a antenna or collages start producing engineers again that can make one.

Ineffective

Posted .We hope you aimed the antenna towards the largest cluster of towers and then scanned for channels. You can download our free app Antenna Point to help you aim. Please remember to scan for channels once you connect the antenna to your TV.
Got one channel
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went through all trouble only to get one channel, not worthy. Return the unit the next day.

Posted .That's too bad. Hopefully you performed a channel scan on your TV. There is also a possibility that you did not have the antenna facing the right direction towards the towers to receive the available signals.

You will be able to see where the towers are located, the number of TV channels available in your area, and the distance from your home to each tower.

Overpriced PIECE OF JUNK!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible reception couldn’t get a clear picture. Only got couple of channels.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Antennas Direct Expert
Posted .Greetings! We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. With the ClearStream 2MAX, most people tend to place the antenna on the floor. The towers are 1500 feet up in the air, so the higher you can get your antenna the better. Also, you always need to rescan the TV for channels when you move the antenna. This could take a few attempts. If this doesn’t work for you, please contact our support team so they can make a recommendation for the right antenna for your location. They’ll need a little more information from you to perform a free signal analysis. We are available 7 days a week to help at 1-877-825-5572 or chat with us at antennasdirect.com. Thank you for your purchase and honest feedback of our product.
