Cheap.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.20 miles from a top 20 market and i only get 8 channels, none of which are ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox. The amp is only a 5v USB or AC transformer. My thin, $50 flexible antenna got more. I used the APP to properly position this in my attic and no improvement.

Posted .Please contact our tech support team. 877-825-5572. An attic install has a few more variables that a window antenna. The existing structured wiring scheme in the home may need to be prepped for antenna use. Best regards.

Posted .Hi there, picking up all the channels can be a little trick sometimes. Please use our free Antenna Point app to aim the antenna towards the largest cluster of towers in your area. You will need to rescan the TV for channels when you reposition the antenna towards the towers. If repositioning doesn’t resolve the issue, we are available 7 days a week to help you receive the most TV channels. Depending on where you live, there may be obstacles causing interference with the signals further away from your location. Please give us a call and we will perform a free signal analysis in your area and then we can advise you where to install the antenna to receive the best TV signals. Call today at 877-825-5572 from 10am to 6pm CST. Thank you for leaving an honest review!

Posted .Hi there! Thank you for your purchase and honest feedback of our ClearStream 4MAX Complete HDTV Antenna. We do not advertise our antennas to pick up signals beyond about 70 miles. The curvature of the Earth will block most over-the-air broadcast signals at roughly 70 miles. According to the current laws of physics, it is generally impossible to deliver a range greater than that with a TV antenna. While you may receive signals from farther away in absolutely ideal conditions (a home atop a hill whose broadcast towers are directly on top of another hill with a clear shot between the two and absolutely no obstacles) or you’re inclined to engineer a unique (and probably dangerously tall) setup, then consistent, reliable reception of anything over 70 miles away should not be expected. Please give us a call at 877-825-5572, we can help pinpoint the issue and advise you on what your next steps should be to improve your reception and help get those missing channels. We are available Monday-Friday to help! Thank you.
Not for shop house with metal roof
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably a good antenna just doesn’t work in a metal house

- Cons mentioned:Price
Over priced for its limited capabilities.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It did pick up channels, but not the 30 or so channels that it advertised. I was hoping to pick up enough channels to finally cut my cable subscription. I ended up taking it back....it was way over priced. I will look at other alternatives at a fraction of the price, which probably performs as well.

- Pros mentioned:Channel count, Installation
Great purchase
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with this purchase. Installed it myself in the attic. The instructions were clear and made setup extremely easy. I live in a remote location and still am able to receive 36 channels including two that are blocked by our streaming service. Exactly why I purchased this product. I even get Boston channels which is 70 miles away. Very much worth it. Great product.

I would recommend this to a friendHappy customer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was needing an antenna that could pick up all my local channels. This antenna dies the job without the power booster since I am like only a few feet from the channel 4 tower the amplifier won’t allow that channel to come in so delighted able to get all local channels without disruption in signal was tired of fighting with the indoor antenna had to constantly mess with it to get channels happy customer
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Reception
Great reception
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! This thing is great! and I am using it indoors at a window. My weak Dish OTA tuner found 93 channels, including all the big locals I was looking for. Tried one of those flat amplified indoor antennas first and got pixelation and weak reception. The ClearStream 4MAX with amplifier works perfectly...strong signal and no pixelation.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Picture quality
Great antenna ,price and solution
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best antenna. Easy to assemble,easy to put into place.ive picked up 40 channels, including locals.cable is getting so expensive, i needed to find an alternative. Price was comparable to one mos. cable bill, and yet this is free after the initial buy. You still need internet to run this. But not all the pkgs ,they offer.Very clear picture.definitely would recommend.

Perfect OTA HDTV Antenna
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best OTA antenna I've ever used! Outstanding reception! Clear installation instructions and easy set-up. Everything you need to get all of the OTA digital channels in clear and crisp HD. I installed it in my attic in less than 30 minutes. Are you ready to Cut-The-Cable? Then buy this kit

Posted .Greetings Marty! 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, or they do not work for you, please give us a call at 877-825-5572. We are available 7 days a week to help! Thank you for your purchase and feedback.
