    I had it with the satellite system I was using to receive my TV stations. My complaint is the same as anyone else, too much for too little service. I am able to pull in a lot of local stations reaching out to around 60 miles. The reception is good, and I am pleased with the ease with which it went up.

    This antenna allowed us to cut the cable cord and still have all our local broadcasting channels. Great reception, even though we are over 60 miles from the signal source.

    Receives many channels we lost as digital replaced analog signals. Would be nice to know best direction to aim it in our area. Was easy to signal test by hooking coaxial cable to tv and setting aerial on window sill before putting aerial in attic. Directions could be better explanatory and in larger print. Picture quality seems much better.

      Hi JameswP! We do have a free app called Antenna Point you can download to your iOS or Android phone. Once you download, the app will identify your location. You will see the towers in the surrounding area, so you aim the antenna in the right direction to pick up the TV signals. If you would like us to assist with this process, just give our support team a call at 877-825-5572. They will perform a free signal analysis of your location and advise you on where to aim your antenna. We are available 7 days a week to help! We appreciate your purchase and feedback. antennasdirect

    The Antennas Direct - ClearStream 4MAX Complete Amplified Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mast, Coaxial Cable, Amplifier, and 3-Way Splitter - Black has worked ok for us, though we were hoping for more coverage area.

    Thanks to the dispute that AT&T has with FOX and WB channels, this antenna was necessary to watch many of the shows, news and sports that we watched on a regular basis. Picture quality and number of channels picked up in a large city was much better than expected.

    This antenna works great. Although I'm about 10 miles from the main tower transmitters. I do receive the Akron stations that are 50 miles away. And the best thing it's in my attic. Get 61 stations in Cleveland and outer areas. Very pleased with the product.

    Mom needed a new tv antenna for her house, but didn't want a rook mount so we bought this for her and installed in the attic. Got all the local channels with a very clear signal. Most tv stations are 50-75 miles away. It works awesome and mom is happy she does not have a cable bill.

    We are surrounded by hills and mountains and I wasn't hoping for much, but the channel scan found 165 channels that could be watched! I highly recommend walking around different places and even aiming it by slowly rotating the antenna and someone at the TV to help pinpoint the strongest signal of any channel you might be looking for. I also recommend a stronger signal amplifier than the 6db one provided just to help "pull" in the weaker stations and if you have any sort of distribution throughout the home. The post and bracket work well.

    Local free is better than 70.00 a month

    No need to pay 70.00 a month for local channels, when you can pay 170.00 ONCE! I get over 50 channels and I’m 40 min/1 hr from the network antennas. Now when my streaming service says the game is out of network, I just switch to local on my Roku device and I’m seeing the game.

    This is the perfect antenna, It’s my second one. I decided to remodel my basement and add a 75” tv. I knew exactly what I need for the perfect signal. I have a super strong signal and this was well worth it... Both times.

    We recently lost some channels we viewed often. Oh well. We tried a new booster and returned it. Then we upgraded the TV and the problem was worse, much worse. The Hisense Mini-LED ULED TV picture was so much better, we had to keep it. Time to bite the bullet and try this. Setup was simple enough with a few hand tools and a drill. Once I rescanned, we had 70 crystal clear channels. Keep in mind most of the antennas are over 45 miles away. Well worth the price. Wish I had purchased it much sooner.
