    in our town, it's said to be impossible to pull in ABC except in upstairs rooms. this antenna gets great reception in our living room for ABC and other antenna stations that we never dreamed of being able to access. we are cord cutters; we connected the antenna to the coax cable from the satellite dish and it works great! it also has less of a profile than other antennas we were looking at (some are *enormous*).

    I was looking for a new antenna that I could use indoors. I have not made the decision to put it in the attic as of yet. It is in my front north window for now. Where I was only getting 5- 18 channels with old antenna, I am now getting between 47 and 52 channels. I have only had it a couple weeks and I am pleased with its performance so far. I am happy I made the switch.

    First time I use this antenna and I couldn't be happier. I live about 65 miles from the TV broadcasting towers and this little antenna picks up roughly 101 channels. Of course not all the channels this antenna picks up are digital channels but all the channels I care about, like ABC, NBC, etc are digital. I cancelled satellite services almost a year ago and I am not going back to Satellite or cable.

    I replaced a much larger outdoor antenna that was having problems getting strong enough signals to work with the Tablo OTA DVR and its commercial skip processing. This 4MAX antenna was assembled in minutes, went up easily on my house facia using the included mount, and performs well. I am about 30 miles away from most transmitters and this is aimed generally towards Mt.Wilson. Great product.

    We bought the flat one that sits behind the tv inside and got 4 channels. We took it back and got this. Put it on the porch post since it was raining and got 21 channels. Tried a few other spots about the same. Put it on the roof and pulled in 26 channels. We are down in a hollow with hills on 3 sides. We are please. The website says possibility of 40 channels for our address. We are satisfied. We cut the cord! Saving lots of money each month now.

    This antenna was purchased from best buy with skepticism. Removed a roof mounted directv dish and replaced with this antenna and wow pulled in 20 channels in a very rural area. Great bargain and very easy setup and installation.

    I live deep in a state forest and have tried multiple antennas with no luck, but this antenna out performs the areal antenna on my roof and I have it inside! This thing is awesome!

    Bought bc we are cutting the cord soon. Was recommended as a top antenna per a few people. I use to get air channels fine before the whole upgrade in 2000s. We used cable on a kitchen tv then started streaming our cable service on that tv. Well Im tried of paying $13 for local channels. I had bought a cheap GE antenna -$40, to see if I could get air channels again and it worked very well to my surprise. This antenna was recommended as I live between two major tv single air about 45 air miles from both. The GE is a more directionals type and this one was to receive signal more 360*style. This Clearview antenna didn't not receive anymore channels then my cheapo and picture quality wasn't as good on the cheapo one. I'm returning this product. It may be right for your scenario.

    We can get ION tv now, which we could not before. ME TV comes in good as well. We don't watch the networks much, so can't speak for them coming in clear or not. ION has been pixelating and going off briefly lately and not sure what that's about, or if there's tech support to help us sort it. I guess it's a good deal for the $150 we paid for it.

    Honestly amazing antenna. This is our 3erd Antennas Direct product from BestBuy. Our home, my sister's and neighbors . Antennas Direct roof antennas are simply built better, less parts and far exceed expectations. App makes pointing the antenna a breeze. Now have my smart TV connected to satellite , over the air antenna, free Roku channels and HBO Now. What's next ? probably Netflix LOL

    Cable companies keep raising the cost of there service to us, we had to come to up with another plan. We went to Best Buy to see what other options we would find. The sales person was very professional and suggested indoor/outdoor antenna system. This unit works very well outside on local channels.

    We put this bad boy on the roof. Let me tell you, if I didn't know it were an antenna, I'd say someone was streaming HD quality or better via their internet. The channels depend on your area and the direction you face the antenna, but once you figure out where to place it, you'll feel perfectly comfortable cutting cable out completely.
