This product might work great for someone not in the country with trees and other objects that may obstruct its reception

To claim that this antenna works within 50 miles must be under ideal conditions across a space like the Grand Canyon (without any trees, hills, etc). I live within 20 miles of the transmission towers, yet could only get sporadic reception on a cloudless day. The antenna was next-to-useless, so needed to return. Gratefully, BestBuy took it back without any problems.

This is a cheaply constructed antenna. Has no amplification, poor réception, no cable to reach the location you're going to mount to. Absolutely disappointed and is not worth it's value whatsoever. A rabbit ear antenna will work just as good for a 1/4 of the price. Returned it and would not recommend. The grill you serves no purpose except to hold the pieces.

hard to rate, because I don't have any objective standard to work from for this type of product

This product works for my application. Most of the broadcast towers are about 45-50 miles away but this is pulling them in. Was able to mount on the fence next to the old satellite dish and used the cabling from it - which worked very well. Mounting on the roof was not an option since we have a tile roof. I had previously tried and indoor antenna (the Leaf Ultimate from Mohu) which would just not pull in the channels I was hoping for - this was primarily because I needed the signal for a TV in our basement - but it could definitely work on a main or top floor. In fact, I moved it to the main family room in the basement which is on the other side of the basement from where I needed it and it worked much better over there. So from my experience if you are looking for an indoor antenna that may work for you. I was really not looking forward to an outdoor antenna due to the complexity of running cable but being able to use the existing cable from the old dish really simplified things. Overall, I am satisfied with this product. If you are looking for a way to stop paying for outrageous cable/satellite costs, this may be for you. The signal is strong (both UHF and VHF bands) and the picture is clear. Will see what happens with different weather and what happens when the trees get leaves on them again...

It did not have the strength to provide coverage for our house. Stations would freeze or be lost.

This antenna was bulky, not convenient and poor reception.

It didn't work in the area I was in. It's needs to be closer to a tv broadcasting area

Even though I'm within range most of the channels would cut in and out constantly

Pour performances, assembly; flat antenna did job.

this item did not work for me because I only had the opttion to mount inside/didn't try outside

Very good performance and pretty easy to install. The antennapoint.com web site was spot-on for the best direction, as confirmed by watching signal strength while turning the unit. The instructions talk about checking strength before permanently attaching the unit, and I highly recommend following this advice. I "temporarily" mounted it to the corner of my house gable, near the rain gutter. This worked with a signal strength of 50 out of 100 on my TV. Once I saw which direction it was pointed, I realized that I could mount the unit in my attic, and it would have a clear shot through the gable, to the TV station. My attic has foil backed roof panels, which would make attic mounting impossible (no signal), but the gables do not have the foil- so I simply mounted it in my attic (upside-down), pointed in the same direction as what I found from the web site, and the signal strength actually went up to about 75/100 (due to being higher up). I ran a 40' cable to a 4-way splitter, and still had good signals at all my TV's. My only complaint is that the rubber boot they give you to weatherproof your downfeed cable is hard to install. It's got several "steps" in the taper of the boot, and you're supposed to cut it off at the right one for your cable. Unfortunately, the step that was large enough to fit over the connector nut left too much slop around the wire once it was pushed in all the way. There must be a trick to doing this, but in the end it didn't matter since I mounted it inside. All the hardware seems to be well painted and very rugged.

It appears that this will only work with the addition of an amplifier

i would not reccomend this antenna for rual use, mayby if you live in a big city. for me its a waste of money, it pick up the same channles as the little one in my house, i would of taken it back but best buy only gives you a store credit so just kept it. you cant move wich is bad when you need to thumbs down.

Doesn't work for my situation. There's a hill in my way.

I bought this hoping that I would be able to watch network TV and not have to pay for another TV on my cable. The description said this would work up to 60 miles from the transmitter. I am 55 and all this did was give me a picsilated picture and $60: worth of regret.

My wife and I purchased this antenna for the purpose of "cutting the cable" as it were. This antenna got very good reviews and I can see why. We are getting over 40 channels(approximately 30 miles from either Cleveland or Youngstown Ohio) using a splitter connected to 2 TV's without the preamp hooked up yet. If anything, the Clearstream 2V has exceeded our expectations. Excellent antenna!!

I coonected to my tv and was only able to get maybe 4 channels and they were not very clear. I did read something about with stucco reception might not be the best. In all fairness, I have not tried mounting it outside. It possibly might work then.

This thing I put on the house and than I took it down.

Just bought the product today and installed it today. Hardest thing was taking down the DirecTV dish. It was a snap to put together and really did not need instructions because everything was obvious. It mounted on the existing pole without a problem. Ran the cable through the old DirecTV then right to the tv. Rescanned and after about 3 minutes had 29 stations. No breakup like on the Mohu. Mohu rep told me it was because of too much water interfering with the signal.
