Just has trouble picking up channels
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit is easy to install and is suppose to be bidirectional, but I think maybe not or not as good as it needs to be. I pickup two of the main local channels real well, but one of the other main channel has it problems. It is suppose to have a 65+ mile range, but all the towers are within 15 miles. But it is a good antenna, just maybe not the best you can buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Antennas Direct Expert
Posted .Greeting from Antennas Direct! Most often, there is a very simple solution to receiving the channel you are missing. Try moving the antenna just a few inches and scan for channels again. You may have to do this a few times to find the sweet spot for that particular signal. Also, placing the antenna up higher is another solution to receiving the best signals. You can download our free app Antenna Point to see the towers. Face the front of the antenna towards the largest cluster of towers and scan for channels. If you need further assistance, please call us toll free at 1-877-825-5572 and we will evaluate your home location for you and provide tips on receiving the best signals. The call and support are free. We are available 7 days a week. 9am to 9pm Mon - Fri and Sat – Sun 10am to 6pm Central Time.

Big improvement over inside antennas
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using several different inside TV antennas with mixed results, I installed the ClearStream 2MAX on a 15' mast attached to my house. The number of received stations increased from 40 to 60, and picture quality is very good. Reception isn't omnidirectional, so if your TV stations aren't all in the same direction you'll get better results by adding a rotator, to turn the antenna.

Works Very Well
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried a few different cheap indoor antennas with no success. This one was recommended by The Antenna Man on YouTube. It works perfectly. Can now get all four local major network tv stations plus sub channels and a few more. This antenna and a basic Sling subscription with ESPN is all I need for football and sports.

GOOD BUT VERY TIPSY
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna was able to get channel 8s in Northridge, CA which I did not get with a flat indoor 8x10 inch antenna. But I still have trouble with 63-3 Retro TV. This has always been my hardest channel to receive. I am using this antenna inside on top of a kitchen cabinet six feet high, facing east. But this antenna using the table stand is VERY tipsy, so I had to tie it to the cabinet to not fall forward. Overall antenna is good, but a little bit finicky on receiving some channels. I added a LTE filter next to the antenna, but was about the same on signal. Small enough to fit indoors. Receives about 160 channels in the San Fernando Valley. Wish it cost less, a bit pricey.

OK but Missing Instructions
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The antenna worked well, but the box had no instructions included. I had to print them off on the internet.

Get 20 stations for free. Great for my shop.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have Dish TV so I have to pay for extra TV's.The only time I use the TV in my shop is if I am working there when the evening news comes on so I hate to pay Dish for one more TV that I seldom use. With this antenna I get the networks plus other channels with the antenna mounted inside by a window. I get a stronger signal with it outside but I don't need it. Very happy with this antenna.

Perfect for cord cutting...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna works well after installing, it has 60+ local channels available in our area, the reception was perfect plus the picture with my 4k tv's are so clear. I decided to give up my cable since we only watch news anyway.

Best antenna
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna works great and we have it inside on the window sill. It picks up all the local channels with less interference caused by the wind. We have had other antennas but by this one works better than the flat antennas. It is pricey but worth it or wait for it to go on sale, that’s how I purchased it

Works great and smaller than I thought
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am currently using this antenna indoors placed in a window. It picks up stations much better than the flat panel I was using. I plan to mount it outside later and should have really strong signals from the towers in my area that are up to 35 miles away. I am already getting 100% on three different stations indoors. All of the other stations are at 65% and above.
