    Reception

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Reception good; positioning hard for me.

    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.

    No 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.

    Angry customer

    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.

    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

      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. antennasdirect

    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.

      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! antennasdirect

    Not Omni-directional

    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.

      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. antennasdirect

      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! antennasdirect

      The ClearStream 4MAX is a receiving antenna, therefore is not capable of blocking any cell signals. You may have installed the antenna in a location that will not receive broadcast signals. You can see the broadcast towers in your area by clicking this link: https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html. The locater will help you aim the antenna towards the largest cluster of towers in your area. If you need additional help, please call us toll-free at 1-877-825-5572 and we will evaluate your home location and advise which TV antenna is right for you. The call and support are free. No obligation to purchase. We are available 7 days a week. 9am to 9pm Mon - Fri and Sat – Sun 10am to 6pm Central Time. Antennasdirect
