    I tried a different antenna prior to purchasing this one. I couldn't get a single channel on that one. Decided to spend more and bingo! I cannot mount it outdoors due to HOA restrictions. But even with it's sitting on top of my speakers it captures wonderfully and the quality is amazing. Very happy with it.

    I live in wooded mountains, and get 5 network channels that are crystal clear. That’s great, considering my location from any tv towers is about 15 miles away. I have it inside, next to glass sliding doors next to tv. Bought it on sale, too. Best Buy employees were GREAT during the CoVid19 crisis. I ordered online and they had my purchases ready at curbside as soon as I arrived. Very professional and hassle free.

    I purchased this unit to cut the cord on cable and I am glad I did. I have 4 tvs hooked to this unit and they all pickup 52 channels I believe I can get more if I move it to the peak of my home but I am content with the 52 channels. This is a great antenna I did also purchase the booster as well I am happy with this purchase.

    Got this to see if I could cut the cord and still get locals in town. So far, so good. Coupled with good coax cable and an amplifier, and I can pick up anything within a 50-60 mile range.

    Had a flat square one, different brand, got ZERO channels. Took it back, bought this and I mounted in my attic, out of sight, and my 9 year old tv scanned 58 over the air signals and EVERY one of them is better than my cable signal. Highly recommended. You CAN NOT beat the over the air broadcast signals with this antenna.

    This antenna works great. I have it in my garage and it picks up all local channels and then some. It would be great for camping or even to bring along in a car with a little digital television.

    Mounted as high as possible in a corner of house with clearest unobstructed path. This limits the location of the TV. Otherwise, neighbor's metal chimney was in the way. Have it precariously perched atop the window frames. Does not receive nearly as many channels as it scans. Can receive all of the local public tv stations which was the point, plus perhaps a dozen commercial channels. The picture cracks up (is this called pixilated?) now and then. Clears up if I prop the antenna cable steady with a coat hanger. Bizarre, but I am not very techy. My only complaint is that the thing is totally ugly. It looks like a giant black spider on the wall. Might be better if some other color.

    I installed this in my attic, splicing into current cables running through my house. It picks up plenty of stations 30-40 miles away. I use a splitter to 2 TVs - the longer cable does loose a few stations, but nothing I can't live without (did not try an amplifier yet). Reception seems to be clearer than Cable and on-line streaming. Do Note: direction is critical; I repositioned 2-3 times, running the TV's auto-programming process each time, until I got the max # of stations (fortunately our nearest towers are the same approximate direction).

    I have purchased this to allow viewing the TV in a spare bedroom without having to rent another Cable Box from our cable company. The channels received are great for what little this room is used.

    Great little antenna. I purchased this antenna to receive some UHF stations in our local area that my rabbit ears would not pull out. Currently I receive a VHF channel PBS out of Corvallis Or, all be it weak. Now for those pesky UHF stations, both have great signals but also break up from time to time, could be from the stations that are testing at this time. I believe that the television has 42 channels, up from 12. I highly recommend RG-6 quad wrapped coax, not the cheaper RG-6.

    I purchased this to use with my treadmill. All of our cable went to digital and my treadmill is older with a TV that doesn’t support the new digital format. The Antenna gets the local channels which I all I was wanting. Some days are better than others depending on the weather but I also just have it in the room where my treadmill is. If I installed it on the roof, I am sure it would get more channels. I still need to do that just haven’t gotten around to it. Very easy to install and comes with the material to mount on the roof as well with instructions. Happy with the purchase though.

    We recently became cord cutters and wanted to install this antenna outside and connect it to our existing DirecTV wiring so we could have OTA in every room. We've been able to get all local channels on all three of our TVs without the use of an amplifier. Very happy with this product and highly recommend it!

    With the recent contract issues with my cable provider and CBS broadcast, I finally pulled the rip cord and eliminated cable TV and went back to over the air antenna. I first tried setting this up in the attic space but I have Tech-shield on the roof and the signal was good but would pixelate on occasion. I moved it outside on the roof and all cleared up. I get a better picture quality than I had with cable and now don't have the programming delays. I would definitely recommend this antenna to anyone looking to cut the cord with cable...

    I live in an area that lacks a local TV station, but has a repeater around 30 miles away. After trying two, in home, antennas, rated for at least the distance I needed, I decided on the ClearStream MAX. Rather than trying to wiggle through my attic, I opted to install it on my roof. It works great. The rooftop bracket holds the antenna very well, even in the hind winds that we often experience. The picture and sound quality are very good and it was easy to set up. My recommendation would be to forgo the smaller, in house, units, unless you don't have a perfect, unobstructed location for it.

    I bought this antenna because I have DirecTV and am in the N.Y demographic I like watching the Eagles and get local weather. With the antenna I get a great 720p pic. from Allentown on LG OLED.
