    Hooked it up. Did scan on TV. Got 50 stations first try. No adjustments. Location app that it called for worked great.

    I live in a strange spot, Dana Point, CA where there are lots of hills surrounding me and half way between LA and San Diego. I tried this antenna and it actually picked up SOME stations from each market, but not all the major networks. I did try buying a booster which added a few more, but still not all the major networks. Bottom line, no other antenna ever got ANY signal, so this thing has to be better than others, but not in my case.

    This is a very powerful antenna that will work with ATSC 1 and ATSC 3 (the new standard just coming out). It allows me to get much better reception than the flat indoor powered antenna I was using previously. Being passive (not powered/amplified) it is also greener and cheaper than powering a smaller antenna.

    The best attic/outdoor antenna I've used.

    I install streaming and OTA cord cutting systems and have tested dozens of antennas. The Clearstream 4Max is clearly the best UHF/VHF antenna I've tested. Generally at 45-50 miles from broadcast towers I do not need to add an amplifier.

    Great OTA antenna! I purchased this for a vacation home in Ft. Myers Beach area and received 37 channels with it mounted about 5 ft. high and received a very good signal on most of those channels. Can't imagine how good a signal I would receive if I was able to mount it higher!

    This a great 4k antenna for either an outdoor or (in my case) an attic install. I used the recommended app to locate our local tv tower locations, pointed it toward the desired channels and I now have local news in 4k!

    When it works it works great. We only use it to get stations that have been removed by our Satellite Company. It is difficult to adjust to get the various different channels, but they come in great once it is adjusted.

      You need to find the right location for the antenna and scan the TV for channels. The TV tuner inside your TV has locked in on the TV signals - this happens once you have an antenna connected to the TV, so you will continually have this issue until you scan for channels. Thanks for leaving a review. antennasdirect

    The reception on this antenna is quite exceptional when compared with others that I have tried. Of course, I installed it outside where I have been able to receive VHS and some of these channels that also transmit on UHF here in north Dallas.

    Still have this set up in a window in my bedroom, works ok, but still having trouble with some channels, I am going to try putting it in the attic when it cools down a bit and put an antenna booster on it to see if it does better.

    Put this antenna in my attic. It works pretty well but it is subject to some interference. I believe that others would be the same. To many variables to get it perfect. I have much better picture now than what I was getting with Dish Network

    Bought this on the recommendation of "Tyler the antenna man" online. He's right, it works beautifully. Easy to set up, but remember, you'll have to rig coax cables to each set-top box in the house. I used the cables that my (former) satellite provider had installed, which saved a lot of time and effort.

    Man, I can’t say enough good about this antenna. I’ve used the old big old fashioned antennas for years but this one is unobtrusive, easy to install and best of all, gives me way more stations and clarity of reception never achieved on older antennas.

    Love this antenna, with all other antennas I had trouble with picking up the local cbs and abc affiliate at the same time. With this antenna I get all of the same local channels I would through three of the big providers “locals packages”

    I use this for my outdoor kitchen TV. I replaced an outdoor antenna purchased at a big box home improvement store, and the difference is amazing! Even though I'm 50 miles from the antenna array and the new antenna is only 12 feet above the ground, I'm getting terrific reception.

    We have this mounted outside, and it works great for us. It took some time to figure out where was best to set it up to get the most channels, but it’s well worth it! This is our second one, as we bought this one for a friend so she can enjoy the Channels for her family without having to pay that high cable bill.

    This antenna was very easy to assemble. Since setting the antenna up I have been able to get 30 plus channels. I have not placed the antenna in the attic yet. I will do this when we move into our new home. I am sure we will pick up even more channels at that time.

    I installed this on a clients house for my father. She was cutting the chord on cable and satellite. This unit was easy to install and i used the existing cables under the house(thanks big guys...) after attaching the antenna to a splitter. This antenna picked up multiple channels and dorve each TV with perfect clarity.
