    Relatively easy to install and a little bit of tweaking required. Now I have about 60ish channels w/out having to pay for cable. This will pay for itself in no time.

    First impression is that this is a mostly-plastic antenna that is supposed to be outside in the sun. I am 17 miles from the transmitters, and this antenna picks up the problematic channels that I want to watch the most. I wouldn't say this is the BEST antenna on the market, but it outperforms its cheaper counterparts. For the price, I should have purchased an old school Channel Master antenna, but I could find them at a local retailer like Best Buy.

    This antenna works very well for us, the received signal is on a par with that from cable. The installation is straight forward and not difficult.

    Bought this antenna to access local stations when we gave up our cable TV as a cost-cutting option. Local stations are surprisingly clear, with a digital picture that seems just as good as cable TV. Reception pretty much as advertised. Bonus is we now get a few more major local TV stations that weren’t carried by our cable provider.

    An amplifier was needed to pull in stations 45 miles away. Range seems to be overstated.

      Hi there! We’re really sorry to hear the ClearStream 4MAX didn’t deliver the results you were expecting. Reception can vary significantly depending on distance from broadcast towers, terrain, surrounding structures, and even mounting height. With an outdoor antenna like the 4MAX, placement and elevation can make a big difference, and in some cases adding a preamplifier or adjusting the aim slightly can improve results. If you have any questions or would like us to help troubleshoot, give us a call at 877-825-5572 and we will be happy to help. Thank you for your purchase and honest feedback! antennasdirect

    We decided it was time to ‘cut the cord’ from our cable company so I purchased this antenna. I easily mounted it in my attic and connected it to my existing TV cables. I am getting great reception up to approximately 60 miles. Between our new antenna and streaming services that we purchase, we are getting all the entertainment we want and more. We are also saving over $40/ month from what we were paying for cable. We are very pleased with our purchase.

    Overall, very happy with this antenna. It took a couple of tries to get positioned correctly so we could receive all of the local channels but, other than that, it works well. Even in the rain - crystal clear picture. And we are over 50 miles away from the transmission towers. The only time we had an issue was during the massive wildfires in the early fall when the air quality was considered dangerous. I am guessing the particulate matter was so thick, the signal could not get through as well.

    This thing works great! I only watch tv for sports which are all on the local channels so I decided to look into an antenna. I was skeptical at first because I live 58 miles from the closest tv tower. This thing works fantastic. I get stations I didn’t even know existed. All of the local channels work with no pixelation or delays. Very easy to follow instructions for setup, and it can be installed in many different configurations so it can go just about anywhere there’s a place to bolt it. Great purchase!
