Reception is great. We had a similar antenna with only two loops, but sometimes had intermittent reception. This seems to have resolved that issue.

I bought this antenna to put an end to an ever-increasing cable bill. I have had bad luck with past antennas, but I decided to try this form factor after reading the positive reviews and getting friend's recommendations, BestBuy sells two versions: the antenna alone or this version that includes the coax cable, splitter, and signal amplifier. At $50 more than just the basic antenna, the whole package was still less than one month of cable. It took a little time to assemble, but the pictures and instructions are easy to follow. I assembled it and set it outside for a test run. At first I was terribly disappointed - almost angry, but Antennas Direct Inc. includes a full page of tips and troubleshooting advice including a phone app to help you point the antenna. The app showed me exactly where to point the antenna (I was way off) and I was able to pick up 41 of the 43 available stations within a 75 mile radius, all super-sharp, in high definition and no drops or pixelation. The antenna performed so well, I even mounted it *inside* my garage! And being indoors, the antenna is protected from the weather, which by the way, a thunderstorm did roll through and we never lost picture. The antenna is well built, with solid materials and a beefy coax cable. Connectors are well-machined and the exterior connector has a weather boot. The mounting arm is light-weight and easy to adjust in all directions. The splitter allows for three connections, although I only use two. The signal amp is the only shortcoming, with thin cable compared to the rest, although it works very well. It would be nice to have an LED to indicate that the signal amp is receiving power. I am thrilled with this antenna, and my wife is happy with the number of channels and the clarity of picture. I couldn't ask for more. Yes, I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your very informative and positive review of our ClearStream 4MAX, we are happy to hear you are satisfied with the results. I will pass along the suggestion for the LED indicator to our product development team. You may find even more channels periodically if you remember to re-scan once a month for them.

Purchased this compact antennae for a new home, and have been very impressed with the number of over the air stations we now receive.
Used web app to determine how many stations we could potentially receive. (App said 30).
Knew placement in attic with solar panels, and reflective barrier was sub-optimal; but was extremely impressed with number of stations we found after rescanning with this antennae. We now receive over 70 stations that are about 36 miles away. Ironically I had tested an inferior multidirectional… that produced 0 stations.
Strongly recommend this antennae; especially because it comes with about 50’ of coaxial cable, in-line amplifier and 3 way splitter. Really a well built product and picture quality on a 4-k tv is stunning.

Hi Geoff! Thank you for your purchase and great review of our ClearStream 4MAX. We hope you are enjoying your FREE over-the-air programming. If you re-scan for channels once a month there is a chance even more could be added in your area. We greatly appreciate your business!

Best purchase I ever made. This package comes with all you need to install the antenna including 30 ft co-axial cable, an amplifier, splitter and mast. I placed the antenna on the flower bed in the front of my house. The antenna is mounted on the mast and the mast is held by a heavy stone tile that was a decorative piece on the flower bed. After positioning the antenna in the south west direction which is where most of the tv stations are I scanned and received 73 channels including MeTV, CourtTV, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS NJ, PBS Allentown, FOX, ION etc. Excellent picture quality. Since my house was already pre-wired for cable in the main level and in the bedroom upstairs, all i had to do was run the cable from antenna to the splitter used by cable. Helps me save upwards of $60 every month of cable television

could not get local stations until I installed this antenna. Now get perfict picture on 500 channels. Saved a bunch by cutting the cable. Down side is I had to run the antenna cable through the ceiling and down the living room wall. I wish they had an antenna that connected to WIFI so you didn't have to run a cable.

Love it. Great range, despite living in a hilly and wooded part of North Seattle. Really liked being able to install it in the attic, which avoided the need to get up on the angled roof and deal with outdoor maintenance down the road. Made 'cutting the cord' super easy, and now we get our football on the weekends without the price tag that comes with cable!

This antenna has excellent reception and pulls signals from quite a long distance. Very easy to assemble and put up. I have tried several antennas with little results and was amazed at the quality and strength of this one. The only negative was the cost.

It picks up pretty good. I have a lot of trees and I think it makes it more difficult to pick up stations. If you have a unobstructed yard I think you would maximize the antenna. All in all it's the best I've used.

Had to get this because the smaller, supposed 60 mile, antenna we bought did not work at all. Got this bad boy and boom! All channels and no issues at all. We live about 40-50 miles from the signal source and no issues at all. Don’t try the little ones if you live outside the city.

Although a little pricey, I must admit that I definitely got my money's worth. I cut the cord and this antenna does what is expected. I get all of the local channels plus the additional digital ones as well. I opted not to mount outside but love the option if needed. I have no complaints and since I had rewards it actually dropped the price.

This is the second HD antenna I’ve purchased after cutting the cord on my satellite antennae. I had hoped to mount this in my attic but the geek squad wasn’t allowed to go in my attic I was told when they came to install it. This antennae pulled in over 40 channels on scan vs the 5-6 I was getting previously. I’m very pleased with this. It allows me to get all of my local channels on the same tv.

This was an excellent choice for my beak up with Directs TV, was able to get 70 + channels, used all the old wiring and splitter for the same seven TV’s with no problem. The price was a little high but it pays for itself in one month.

Outdoor Antenna For Receiving Local Stations

I mounted this antennae outside on my patio enclosure roof; used the app to locate surrounding tv station towers and aimed the unit. I had the GEEK squad come to my home to setup the TV and show me how to navigate the system, which turned out to be very easy, even for me. I have received a total of 82 stations. I used the antennae about a week and after I was sure all was working okay I called my cable supplied and stopped service; saving about $65/month.

This antenna is far superior to the one it is replacing. Many of the channels with the old antenna would not come in with bad weather or would go in and out or freeze. With this antenna we are getting great reception with no weather related interruptions. And we are getting more channels because of the longer range with this antenna. Highly recommended.
