Customer Ratings & Reviews

This antenna works well indoors. At near maximum range, it covers the broadest number of channels in an allowable area. The antenna is sensitive to fine tuning. As such, I haven't permanently fixed it in any position but have it on a simple adjustable base that can rotate 270 degrees; think "lazy Susan". The antenna is not necessarily elevated higher than the TV unit itself. I would rate this as an excellent value if you want to skip cable or streaming.

We live way out in the country, this is used on our metal shop and picks up better than any antenna we have ever had

Recent cord cutter: I currently have this mounted on my roof and am getting over 60 clear channels. I'm about 30 miles from the mountain peak where almost all of the stations in our area have their transmitters with a relatively unobstructed view (a few trees in the neighbors yard). With the leading indoor flat antenna I got 30 channels but many had considerable artifacts and frequently dropped out all together. With this antenna temporarily sitting in my living room that increased to 50 channels but still had some artifacts and occasional drops. Roof mounting got me another 12 channels. All channels are clear and I rarely have any artifacts or signal issues. I highly recommend this antenna.

Great! Simi Valley is a very poor reception area, but this thing is amazing. I have never had a good signal for KCBS LA and now we can see this channel perfectly. Easy to install and aim. Simi is also known for being very windy. Many antennas need lots of cables and very strong masts, and the items in the box worked just fine.

One of our local TV stations is part of an ongoing dispute with our Service Provider. This dispute is going on it’s second month. The only way to receive this channel is over the air. I was surprised to find that I can receive 38 OTA channels with this antenna, and the picture is great. The only disappointment with this antenna is on the lower band channels, the picture and sound are temporarily interrupted by passing traffic on the street in front of our home. I have the antenna mounted on a 12 Ft pole which should put it well above most traffic.

It’s been years since I have used an “old fashioned” TV antenna, since I have been using satellite service over the past couple of decades. However, with the rising costs of service and that of the local channels offered on satellite, I thought I would look into the new technology out there to see what was available. After finding this antenna on Best Buy’s website, I looked through the reviews and found that it would be worth a try. I wasn’t disappointed. I used my old coaxial cable that was from my outside mast TV antenna years ago and connected to this new ClearStream 4Max to it, placing it in my attic. In the good old days, I would have been lucky to have gotten static from inside my attic, but after just a few minutes of running back and forth into the attic and making sure things were connected correctly, I was amazed. The images and were crystal clear on all of my local channels and that was with using old cabling inside an attic. This made a believer out of me. I plan to get a DVR at some point for this system and totally cut the cord. Outstanding product!

I wondered if this would work at my home. I live in the country and I am tired of spending hundreds per month for bad satellite tv. I installed this on my roof not far from the chimney. I did use an app from my phone to find the most stations directionally. It was much easier than I guessed. Not only do I receive the channels direct in path that I aimed for but I get 61 channels. Disclaimer: some are shopping channels. Yet, I receive multiple networks stations from nearby areas like Lansing, Jackson, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, etc. Well worth it. I purchased the antenna that supports 4 televisions. I only have two hooked up now but both are superb picture and sound.

Great reception and easy install Mounted it on roof with direct sight line to tv towers and am getting over 50 channels. Clear TV picture and no pixelating

Installed in attic and received my local CBS station about 30 miles away with no issues; ALSO, realize that I also hooked in-line with antenna down lead was a Channel Master 'Amplify' pre-amplifer. I did test signal without the preamp installed and got some occasionally 'digitalization' of picture on same CBS local station. So of course I kept the 'Amplify' connected to my new Antenna. I am fairly sure if I just mounted outside on 5' mast on side of house eve, I probably would not need the 'Amplify' box. Cancelled my CBS All Access subscription and paid for 3/4 of the price with refunded money.

This antenna is the easiest to connect & setup by far and can say that because I tried 3 others before going back to this one. I should have known to just stay with this brand in the 1st place as we have one that we have used in our living room for years. They provide the best pictures & sound quality. I know that I can rely on these antennas! Worth the $$$ and no more cable tv needed!

Bought this antenna to replace an old 16 foot long antenna. I live in North Port Florida and with this antenna I could only pull in Fort Myers area signals. When I had a rotor I could get some Sarasota area channels. I bought this antenna figuring that the technology has advanced in the past 25 years. Boy! was I right. I set up the Clearstream on my old 25 foot mast and also used a Wineguard Boost XT preamplifier. I aimed the front of the antenna towards Sarasota and Tampa as recommended by one of the station locator websites. When I scanned for channels I ended up with 77 stations!!! Because this antenna picks up stations front and rear, I got all the stations from Fort Myers, Naples, Tampa , Clearwater, Sarasota, etc. Before I tried this antenna I tried the Antennas Direct, 8 element bowtie, and did not get results even close to the Clearstream. I just can't get over how such a small antenna can perform as well as this one. I have 5 tv's hooked to this antenna. Don't mess around, Buy it!!!!

Standing in the store I looked up the areas within range of this antenna. The cottage I was installing it in didn't really come up, but I figured... close enough. Well, close enough isn't. Pay attention to the maps. The antenna worked perfectly. It picked up the two stations that were in range very clearly. Sadly, those stations were of no interest to my mother-in-law, who really only wanted the local weather instead of Canadian forecasts from 60 miles away.

I mounted the antenna in the attic space in my garage bc I didn't want it outside possibly getting blown around in the wind. Not sure if that would affected picture quality or not. But the picture is great and I am about 35 miles from most of the antennas downtown. I also have the signal split with a standard coaxial splitter and have seen no signal loss. I would highly recommend this antenna. I thought about trying the lesser expensive model which might have been all I needed but bought this one in case I move farther away in the future.

We disconnected cable service and connected this antenna on antenna tower next to our house. We live 40 miles from major city where stations broadcast and positioned it toward those stations (product information states will reach up to 70 miles). We have fewer channels but all major networks (and a few others) in HD and even with some windy recent weather have very good reception. This antenna paid for itself within two months of cable bills.

The antenna works very good but the wind is blowing not so much

I was replacing a 91XG directional antenna. I live in a low lying are surrounded by trees. The directional antenna, although a decent antenna, was simply losing signal from some stations 42 miles away. So I looked into various replacements and decided on the Clearstream 4Max. It was easy to install. I added the amplifier I was using with the 91XG. Those stations that were losing signal are weak but now more consistent. I am receiving some signals from 60 miles away that are also consistent. Other signals come and go depending upon conditions. In the three weeks that I have had this antenna, I have been more than pleased. Through a distribution amplified system it serves 4 TVs.

I cut the cord and with this antenna stations 50 to 60 miles away are now "free." The reception varies for some of the farthest stations when there is heavy cloud cover, but that's a rarity in sunny California. In just two month and a week I've recovered the cost of this device that was a cinch to install. I skipped a few steps on installation by attaching it to the remnant of the satellite dish mount after removing the dish. Added a couple of online services (Frndly and CBS All Access) plus a Roku and have more things to watch than we need.

Very pleased. Great reception. Plenty channels Easy to install

We were able to connect this antenna using the wires from our satellite dish. This enabled the antenna to be connected to four televisions in our home. The stations are crystal clear. After scanning for channels we were able to get 40+ stations including ION and a few movie stations that show classics. Our local stations have multiple channels with additional entertainment options. We are very happy we purchased this antenna.

Went from getting no antenna reception to over 100 channels on multiple TVs in my home. There is an application that you download which tells you in which direct to place the antenna for the best reception. The picture is clear. I looked for alternatives such as Hulu with live TV access but it’s expensive and you don’t get all live TV channels and I definitely did not want to buy into cable when we are already subscribers to other streaming services. I like to watch live TV and my mother can’t navigate through anything else. This has really worked for us and I highly recommend it.
