Wish I knew if it worked!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I was very excited and got my new clear screen for Max complete antenna. Assembled it all together, that was easy. Then I got to little connector that hooks up to your TV that you run your cable into. I have a $20 antenna that has a better table connector nut than this thing does. I cannot even get it to screw into the TV. $200 and they can't do better than that. I'm going to have to go out by a short piece of cable that has a decent end on it screwed into my TV get a female to female connector and then connected that way. Shouldn't have to do all this.

Posted .Greetings! We apologize you have not had a great experience with our ClearStream 4MAX Complete HDTV Antenna. Antenna signals can be tricky due to fluctuations in signal strength coming from the TV transmitting towers and atmospheric conditions. Try moving the antenna to another location, up higher is always best, and rescan your TV for channels. We recommend you try moving your antenna to several locations and rescan your TV every time you move the antenna until you find the best signals. You may also want to try running a channel scan without the included amplifier. Over-amplification can occur if you are trying to use an amp too close to the broadcast towers. If you need any help with these steps, give us a call at 877-825-5572. We are available 7 days a week to help! Thank you for your purchase and feedback.
Overpriced, poor quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live 15 miles or less away from at least 10 stations and none of them come in acceptably. Constant pixelation and complete loss of picture. After you make a big order you have to wait sometimes two months before installation and then when you find out it doesn't work you can't return it. Schedule the installation first and then buy everything a week or two before so you have a chance to return it if you want to. Salesman will tell you to buy it because it's the most expensive not because it's the best. One more thing that Best Buy doesn't know how to install.

Posted .Greetings from Antennas Direct! We are very sorry to hear you have not had a great experience with our product. If you are not getting any of the local channels for your area, we recommend running a channel scan without the included amplifier. In most cases an amplifier isn’t necessary unless TV signals in your area are low power, or you have longer cable runs to multiple TV. Also, we are more than happy to help walk you through the installation process if you are unable to find an installer in your area. Just give us a call at 877-825-5572 and we will gladly help assist you in any way we can. We are here 7 days a week to help and look forward to hearing from you!
Not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had cheap glorified cardboard antenna that worked better. I could get one channel with this antenna, and not very well at that. I can get 4 and sometimes 5 channels with cheap cardboard one.

Posted .Hi Kenneth, we are very sorry to hear this. It is odd to only be receiving one channel with the ClearStream 4MAX.

Posted .Greetings! We apologize you did not have the best experience with our ClearStream 4MAX Complete HDTV antenna.

Posted .Greetings MargeryO! Thank you for your purchase, we are sorry to hear our ClearStream 4MAX Complete HDTV Antenna is not working out for you. Placing an antenna in the right location is the key to getting better signals. If you placed the antenna close to the floor, for instance, the signals may not have been presented or low to the floor. For indoor purposes, even an indoor/outdoor antenna needs to be up high. Towers are 1500 feet up in the air. Most of those signals are not pointing down, so we always recommend placing the antenna up as high as possible to achieve the best signal reception. If you have not returned the product yet, please give us (Antennas Direct) a call at 877-825-5572. We can perform a very detailed signal analysis of your location to help determine what the issue could be. We are here Monday-Friday to help! We greatly appreciate your business and honest feedback.
poor performance a mystery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't get it to perform well. The documentation is clear for the simplest case but doesn't give enough info on diagnostics when it gets pixelated images with amplification and nothing without it. Do you have an expert one can call for this? I don't know what to try next.

Posted .Hi JohnV! We apologize our ClearStream 4MAX Antenna is not working out for you. Please try scanning for channels without the included amplifier. In most cases an amplifier isn’t necessary unless TV signals in your area are low power, or you have longer cable runs to multiple TVs. Also, try installing the antenna as high up as possible on a wall or in the window. We do have a free app called Antenna Point you can download to your iOS or Android phone.
