Great value for cable cutters.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical of this at first but did find positive reviews elsewhere. I can confirm that this antenna does work very well and have since ordered its preamp and reflector assembly from the manufacturer. The coax connection is a bit touchy so when installing it, be sure to fully secure the entire cable from antenna to TV set in place. I set it up initially indoors and was surprised at the all the stations it picked up (144 in L.A.) without any degradation in signal quality. Thus the purchase of the accessories to mount it outdoors to squeeze as much signal from the air waves.

Blows cable signal away
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

So easy to set up.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Works well in-city
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Works good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Works well most of the time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Cable replacement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 Performance, Great Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Good quality Antenna
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Works Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).

Over the air antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has performed as indicated. We are able to get all major channels plus many sub channels. We have it sitting beside a window and only occasionally lose reception for a second.

good for local use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Cord cutters dream antenna
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I went through several antennas before I found this one. I tried the flat, stick on the window type but couldn't get good enough reception. This one is an excellent product. Stable reception with a fantastic picture. I paired it with the new OTA Tivo and I couldn't be happier.....highly recommended!!

Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great outdoor antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Why pay for local channels to your satellite provider. Very easy to install (came with all the hardware). Hooked it up to my Hopper 3 from Dish and now I'm getting all local channels for free. Because I live on the border with Mexico, I even get their local channels too!!! It has amazing range.

Good Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this to use in case of storm / hurricane power outages to keep up with local news. Haven't really explored all available channels. A lot of the channels I did see had a great picture.
