Posted .Hi there, thank you for providing your honest feedback of our ClearStream 4MAX. We hope that after you set up the antenna and connected it to your TV you scanned your TV for channels. Or it’s possible there may not be signal present in the location where you placed the antenna. We always recommend placing the antenna in a couple different locations and rescan for the TV for channels. We also suggest you place the antenna as high up as possible to achieve the best signal reception. You can also call our support team and they will provide a free signal analysis at your location and advise the best area around your home to install the antenna. We are available 7 days a week at 877-825-5572 or chat with us online at https://www.antennasdirect.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
Was hopeful...
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking to upgrade our current antenna. Living in a rural small community we need an antenna with distance capabilities. Closest signal is over 40 miles away. Read the reviews and was hopeful. It was very easy to assemble. However, this one pull less channels than the 60 mile GE we have. Old antenna is going back up and returning this one. For the price, just didn't perform well enough to justify keeping it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWay overpriced
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cost of the parts that made up this product (that I had to assembly) probably cost about $10, or maybe less. Try a cheaper alternate first. We did put this in our attic and it does work really well. But, a cheap alternative may work just as well.

Reception good; positioning hard for me.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some trouble finding a good place for positioning the antenna because I do not have a suitable wall nearby. The reception, once antenna was firmly situated, is very good. Better than my previous antenna.
I would recommend this to a friendGood antenna
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antennas direct clear stream 4 max is good and affordable.
I would recommend this to a friendNo Low VHF Reception
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some channels transmit on low VHF channels 2-6. More are moving there due to the FCC repacking. This antenna advertises VHF coverage when that is only half true. The channel number is no indication of what channel the station transmits. To find that, go to TVFool or AntennaWeb. I could not receive our PBS station with antenna.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendno UHF channels 3-12 are recognized
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am afraid that i have a component that is faulty i get good reception in the channels above 13 and above even though channel 3 is only about 35 miles away it is not recognized on 3 different tvs I just installed antenna today it is brand new. I feel something is malfunctioning. please let me know if i have to exchange it at best buy.

Worked for a couple of months.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'v had this for six months,It's outside so that could have something to do with the pore performance.It worked well for the first four or five months than it wouldn't work in the rain and now it just works half the time.cuts in and out.Blocks on the screen or just now signal at all.I did all the research and thought this would be a good on.

Angry customer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Antenna was the wrong product for my tv. Best buy sent me the wrong antenna and refused to take it back. I didnot know about antennas so the customer service agent at best buy picked it out for me and it was the wrong antenna for my tv. When the delivered my tv and the antenna they realized after they opened the box that they antenna was the wrong one for my tv. When i tried to bring it back they said i could not return it because the box was opened, the setup people opened the box but BEST BUY didnot want to hear that.

No better than old antenna
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have a 40 mile antenna wanted to get Milwaukee channels a little clearer. Bought this one and it 's actually worse. Waste of $129.00
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Antennas Direct Expert
Posted .Greetings, Try placing the antenna up higher to reach further as trees and buildings can block the TV signals. There are no guarantees with antennas. You need to find the sweet spot for it. Check out our FREE app called Antenna Point - you can download from iTunes or Google Play or visit our website using the following link to see the towers in your area https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html. To reach Milwaukee depends on the signal strength of the towers located in that area. You can try to move the antenna to several locations to find the best reception. Remember to rescan for channels at every location you place the antenna before permanently attaching the antenna to any surface. If you need assistance, call us toll-free at 1-877-825-5572 and we will evaluate your home location for you and provide tips on receiving the best signals - even to Milwaukee if possible. The call and support are free. We are available 7 days a week. 9am to 9pm Mon - Fri and Sat – Sun 10am to 6pm Central Time.
Did not pull in any extra channels on my tv.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this expensive antenna hoping it would pull in more channels than my current 40 year old antenna in the mountains of western North Carolina. Even though my home is at the tippy top of a 3000 foot mountain, not one extra channel was received with this product. I returned it for a full refund.

Posted .Hello, Thank you for sending us your feedback. I’m sure that was a lot of work switching out the antenna. We’re sorry to hear the ClearStream 4MAX didn’t improve the number of channels you were receiving. Give our Connection Crew a call and let them perform a free signal analysis in your area, since you’re on top of a mountain, you may be receiving all the available signals within a 70-mile range. We can advise and make a recommendation for you. We’re honest folks so if your current antenna is doing the job, we’ll let you know. You can call us 7 days a week at 877-825-5572 or chat with a crew member online at AntennasDirect.com. Thanks again and enjoy your day!
Not Omni-directional
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will only pick up signals in direction it is pointed. For instance, I live in central CT and pointed the anatanae north to pick up towers in Hartford and New Britain. However, I do not receive the Tower for WTNH/ABC in New Haven. I'm going to return and find an omni-directional option.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a piece of junk. I tried the ones you install on window. So I thought I would move up. Both are junk. My towers are about 35 miles away. This is up in my attic.

Posted .Hi DANZ! Thank you for your purchase and honest feedback of our ClearStream 4MAX HDTV Antenna. Those channels maybe out of the range of the antenna or they could also be on a lower frequency or low power. We ALWAYS recommend you place the antenna as high up as possible; 75 miles is a long distance and just because some obstructions cannot be seen does not mean they are not present between your location and the towers. Also, be sure to re-scan for channels every time you move the antenna. Sometimes it may take a few tries to locate the "sweet spot". We also 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 continue to have trouble after trying this, just give our support team a call at 877-825-5572 or chat with us at https://www.antennasdirect.com, and they will perform a free signal analysis to pinpoint why you are not getting certain channels. We are available 7 days a week to help.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very highly over rated!! A waste of money. My home made copper tubing antenna works better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Antennas Direct Expert
Posted .Greetings! Thank you for your purchase and honest feedback. Placing an antenna in the right location is the key to getting better signals. If you placed the antenna on 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 a call at 877-825-5572. We can do a free home signal analysis to help pinpoint what the issue could be. Thank you!
