    I have nothing but good things to say about this antenna. First, it solved my dilemma of local channels. I pay Cox $90/month for just internet, but my wife wanted local channels 12, 15, Fox, 3, etc., and I did not want to spend the extra $70/month for something that is free, but our indoor antenna was not getting a good signal from South Mountain. So, I bought this Clearstream 4Max antenna and mounted it to a roof peak about 20 feet high. Problem solved. The install was a bit more involved than a standard install since I had to route the wire down the side of the house, through an existing cable hole in the stucco, then through a cable channel I already had in my family room. But as soon as I removed the old antenna and connected the Clearstream we had a perfect signal on every local channel. My wife is delighted. The coax connection outside is super simple – just screw the provided 50-foot coax to the antenna and run it into the house. Then on the TV side there is a powered connector which provides the antenna IN and TV OUT which is powered by USB. Most TVs have a USB power out. But they also provide a 3-way splitter which can send the antenna signal to up to 3 TVs and I want to connect two more TVs in other rooms, but here’s where it gets a little complicated. I already have COX internet on the interior coax throughout the house, so to use the existing wiring for the antenna signal I’m going to have to do some reconfiguring at the coax junction box outside but we’ll leave that for another day. Bottom line: great product and they give you every thing you need for a basic install.

    This antenna is simply amazing! I can’t believe I was trying to get live tv without it! I used to have a few local broadcast channels drop in and out which made watching sports aggravating. I live in the DFW area. Now I no longer have that problem! I get way more channels too compared to my flat antenna which is now going in the donation pile. Great device, I would definitely recommend. I have it placed looking out my front living room window but plan on installing it in my attic later.

    Even though this antenna is 70 miles it works great. I don’t need tv service providers anymore, I get all the channels I had when I had service and way more movie channels and so much more. I have well over 465 channels. Love this, should of done years ago.

    This antenna is awesome! I replaced one I have had for about 6 years. This new technology has added at least 6 or 7 channels and much more defined picture

    This was the third digital antenna I purchased for my Home. Was skeptical after the first two did not quite work out the way I had hoped. So glad I took the time to install properly and use the app to point the antenna in the right direction. My TV has worked flawlessly since.

    Excellent so far. I was skeptical about spending $200 on this when I could get the lesser same model for $149. This has cable, a power boost that attaches to the usb input on tv I did install a 36” galvanized pipe to the mast for more height and it’s great. Ione thing I found out this must be leveled both upright and squared,I downloaded the app to see proximities of antennas did take a few minutes to tweak it but so far after a week in the air I’ve got 84 channels and no pixelating and if anyone is in my area fox 13 is the hardest to pull in I use it as my test when adjusting the direction of the antenna. If anything changes in the next few weeks I’ll let you know.

    Bought this as an upgrade from an indoor ota antenna when we moved to our new house. I have clear line of site to 2 towers and it picked up about 30 right away. I may rescan in the other direction to try and get more but it has all the ones we wanted (CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.) I actually used the existing mount on my roof from the satellite dish this replaced and it fit perfectly and I didn't need to drill new holes in my roof. I did add the power boost online which improved the quality of about 5 stations.

    Great antenna that pulled in 60 broadcast channels with a pic amd sound equal to cable. Cut the cord and save money! I shoukd have done it sooner. I never attached the arm as it fits nicely on top of my air conditioner on my patio but arm looks easy to attach. It looks cool too. My neighbors have now purchased same item.

    I set this up in the living room to try it out the reception and see where the best place to aim it for reception. I am off center of two towers. Further from the downtown Denver(25miles) tower but closer to the Frederick/Dacono Tower(10miles). The reception was great in the window pointing to Frederick. I installed the unit in the garage rafters so I didn’t have to run it outside the house which would interfere with my 5g back-up internet connection.

    Simple to assemble, with clear instructions. I had an already installed antenna mast which I simply attached the new antenna. Reception is good even though two trees obscure the line of sight to the broadcast antenna.

    I love it. I couldn't believe this antenna was the best connection. The picture on the TV screen is so clear. I bought several different antennas and it was a very poor connection.

    Because of the high winds that we have been receiving, my husband has not been able to get up on the roof to mount this. We put it inside, in the window, and it is wonderful!!! With the other antenna we had in the window, we weren’t able to get any signal if the wind blew. We are very happy with it We also get many channels that we weren’t able to get before.

    Easy install on the outside of the house and connected it to the incoming cable line. Serves all my TVs well. I bought a long 1” metal pipe to post in the ground and then mounted the antenna to that to void putting holes in the house.
