Great Reception
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great little antenna. I was worried that it would look out of place. However, it's size allows it to hide on the edge of the balcony just below the railing cap. Prior to permanently mounting the antenna, I played around with the placement and was able to pull in a station roughly 55 miles away, but that was no longer possible once the unit was properly mounted (permanent mounting location is a little lower). No big deal as that network was the same as one a little closer. On first scan in its final mounting location, I was able to pull in 42 channels (38 reliably) up to 35 miles away in the Central Texas area. The plastic makes it seem a little flimsy, but time will tell how well it does in the Texas sun. All in all, this antenna is spectacular and a great way to kick satellite to the curb. I was surprised how much is out there over-the-air.

Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We finally cut the cable and I wanted something simple to get and record over the air TV. This combined with a TiVo worked great. Antennas will vary by placement and such, but I installed this in the attic above the garage pointing out an opening. Am getting about 20 channels or so. Getting all the important ones.

High quality OTA Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as part of cord cutting to use AirTV with Sling TV to have a single interface to merge streaming and OTA stations. Now using TV input to switch between OTA and internet/Stream. I am about 35 miles from TV Towers in SF and on a slight hill. Ideal for this antenna. Sooo.. works great. I used the idle CATV cable to feed OTA around the house to other TVs. Wifi for streaming and fire stick, Roku, etc.

Outdoor antenna
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and set up. A great help in allowing my family to "cut the cord"! I was surprised at how many antenna channels there are. So many great older channels that have all the "old" shows.

Used in my garage attic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed this in my garage attic and was able to pick up every channel that was indicated to be possible within my area without having to make any adjustments. This included towers that were more than 40 miles away in opposite directions. Very impressed and wish I would have gotten rid of cable sooner. Also, from this antenna I distributed to 6 different televisions and reception was perfect on each.

Nice antenna for free over the air channels
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this as an indoor antenna and it received all channels very well. You just need to know the direction of your broadcast towers and position it that direction. I would recommend it. I gave it 4 stars because it did not come with a coax cables.

Digging It
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this antenna to hook up to our whole house so we could watch basic tv in any room. So far it works awesome. Giving it 4 stars because on cloudy or windy days reception can be spotty.

works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great for me, we needed another splitter because the old cable also controls the internet. We get ABC crystal clear and FOX 5 when its not raining. wish we got CBS which I was expecting but it did not come through. just need this as a backup when internet is down.

Worked great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my sister in AR as she wanted to cut the cable and save some money. She was concerned as her neighbors said the air antenna reception was terrible where she lived in Bella Vista, AR. I set it up inside the house and she was able to to get a large number of channels plus the local news channel which she could not get with her cable. She is delighted with the results.

Bye bye to local channel streaming
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is far superior to the little square antennas for where I live. Connected to an HDHome Run, tried it out in a couple of places around my home, and was up and running in less than an hour. Picks up a lot of channels, all of which are crystal clear. Would not suggest buying an amplifier if you are using it with HDHomeRun if you are 20 miles or less from broadcast stations with clear LOS- even a 10dB boost to the signal blinds the tuners. While it is a little more money, it is well worth it when you think how much you spend on cable. With recent price hikes to streaming services that have live TV, not sure why anyone would not buy one of these and then cancel that service. Can pay for itself in only a few months.

Bye Bye Cable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had my antenna set up for two months now and it works great! We do not miss cable one bit, especially not the bill. I was able to hook up the antenna to the cable/satellite set up and got reception on all 4 of my televisions. Btw, you can watch different channels on each tv at the same time. For some reason no one was able to answer me that question when I was looking at all my antenna options.

Excellent antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cut the cord several years ago. Having been in town the last 5 years, a small indoor antenna met my needs. Recently I moved out of town into a heavily wooded area now 20 - 40 miles from the broadcast antennas. I could barely receive the strongest station in Columbus. After installing this antenna (very easy) into the attic, I now receive all of the Columbus stations plus some further away, without pixelation, even when the wind blows hard. The further stations will pixelate some in a breeze, but we hadn't been able to receive them at the old place at all... didn't miss anything so it doesn't matter if they pix up a little. If you are further than 30 miles, in uneven terrain and/or in a heavily wooded area, you may want to look at an amp or the ClearStream4. It just depends on your unique situation. The '2' is perfect for my needs.

Easy to install and did an acceptable job bringing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we purchased this atenna, we expected to get 6-10 channels from it. The instilation went well and we were delighted that instead of a few, we got over 50 channels. We were visiting our family and had no idea that there were so mant stations in that area.

Quality Antemna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this antenna for about 6 months now. I installed it in the Attic of my home. The mounting bracket worked very well. The unit presents a neat appearance. From that location I usually get stations within 60 miles. I'm completely satisfied with this unit.

Good device if you can test it a lot
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We set up the antenna a bunch of places in the house (it's a large house) before finding the best spot. I did have to add a booster to get the best reception. This will save us money so we can actually see the local stations without cable.

Great Antenna, Even for the Suburbs
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this item when I attempted to “cut the cord.” This worked very well based on the location of my home. I received clearly over 30 channels using this antenna indoors. However, I took mine back since that meant I would need multiple antennas for the tv’s throughout the home. If you live in a smaller abode, or just use one tv in your home and want to cut the cord, I definitely recommend this antenna over others I have had in the past. Needless to say, I chose to call my cable provider and “cut a deal” instead of cutting the cord. Sometimes a simple call is all it takes to get them to appreciate their loyal customers and you can maintain the convenience and ease of cable.
