    Well built and works much better than the leaf that I was using. This has allowed me to get channels that I never could before (like ABC) due to their distance from my house. Highly recommend it.

    I was hesitant to buy this at first but it turned out to be the best antenna I have ever purchased it paired well with my Samsung tv. Word of advice don’t buy the matching amplifier it didn’t work for me I purchased a Phillips amplifier and got twice as many channels. Also buy a large mast or reuse the one you have if you have Dish.

    The antenna is a little big but it works great with the old antenna we only got about 32 channels now we get 64 channels so if you can live with it being big get this product it’s well worth the money it’s a indoor and outdoor antenna

    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.

    Best antenna I've used in Wyoming. I do have a pre amp, amp combo setup with this antenna. My picture quality improved and also picked up a few more channels, 23 total, not bad for Wyoming . I highly recommend this antenna but use your own pre amp. I have the RCA from ACE for 34.00

    Oh man where do i start... Pros: Good reception. Does not need amplification. Cons: It should come with a grounding block. Best buy did not stock one in store. This upsets me ALOT. Why would anyone connect an antenna to their roof run all this cable through their house to their tv without a grounding block. The copper in the coax will build an electrical gharge over time and damage your tv if you do not ground it. After a few months the signal quality degraded. I do not know why. So they tell you not to mount it directly to metal roof or siding because it will degrade the signal. How about they insulate the mast so that it does not matter. How about make the it out of a non conductive material like plastic. Am I not correct that this would solve the problem? Do not blame my house or roof for a signal problem if it is correctable at the antenna mfg level. Comments: You should get a good signal booster for this. A high quality one. Since this antenna puts out a good clean signal you want to selectively boost signals and filter the garbage otherwise it defeats the purpose. I do not recommend using it indoors. If you are spending this kind of money on a good antenna then get a spool of coax and do it right.

    Top Notch Antenna

    Decided to cut the cable and needed a good digital antenna. Did a lot of reading and research and ended up purchasing this one, a topped ranked antenna on many sites. I did an attic installation wanting to keep the antenna out of the elements. I live between two major cities with transmission towers almost in a direct line from the ones 40 miles to the north to the ones up to 30 miles to the south, with only about a 20 degree spread between the furthest apart. I installed the antenna and ran it without an amplifier through the coaxial cabel aready in my home to 3 tvs in various rooms. First try, all the tvs pulled in 57 stations total from both directions with a clear, clean picture on all of them. This is an amazing antenna. Installation was super eazy, allignment was even easier using the phone app to locate transmission towers.

    This antenna is delivering many channels, even though, it is somewhat big. I placed the antenna in the opposite wall from where the tv has been placed. The picture is clear and with only very minimal stalls or breaks between movies. Love it and highly do recommend this antenna.

    This antenna was purchased to replace a previous antenna that started to wear out and lose channels. The antenna does only come with itself in the box, so you will need a Co-Ax Cable if you do not have one already just a heads up! Other than that the antenna is easy to set up, it has two options for the mounting, either with the stand or a screw on a pole mount. I used the pole mounting system and placed it on my roof, as that’s where the best reception was in my area. Once placed, it was able to pick up the stations very quickly, and are able to stay constant throughout the day. With newer technologies coming out, the antenna mentioned that a rescan would be required every once in a while, so be sure to just scan again once every day or couple of days as needed. Other than that, its a great antenna, and I know what to recommend if someone asks or is in need of a new one as well!

    2MAX & 4MAX

    I bought the ClearStream 2MAX a couple years ago. I am now using both the 2MAX and the 4MAX. I moved the 2MAX to another room where I have my computer and an 18" TV beside my computer monitor so I can watch the news. Obviously I am using these indoors. I didn't want the hassle of mounting it outside. Mounting outside would have required adding amplifiers (due to a long coax run) and grounding. So the 2MAX was OK but occasionally I would have to get up and tweak the position of the 2MAX antenna. With the 4MAX I get better reception and I don't have to tweak the position. I am in a particularly difficult local. I'm on the down slope of a hill and most stations are North of me behind the hill. There is also a local airport close by and I can get interference from airplanes. I chose the ClearStream models instead of an open frame antenna because it is more durable making it easier to handle. I should have went with the 4MAX initially for my main TV in the living room.

    Date 3Dec2021: Very Nice Digital Antenna it is fairly large depending on where you place it. Small for outdoor use, large if just setting up indoors. I set mine up indoors and simply have it in the corner out of the way. If you were an aesthetics type of indoor decor person you will want to mount this size antenna outside. Also, this does NOT come with any coaxial cable. Okay for the main info: My topographical area is Kathleen, Ga 62204 I get 11 channels: 24-1(Fox), 24-2(ABC), 24-3(Comet), 58-1-(Me-TV), 58-2(H&I), 58-3(ION), 58-4(START), 58-5 (Grit) 58-6(Court TV), 58-7(Decades), 58-8(Movies). Why, I don't get NBC or CBS no idea. I'm guessing if I set-up outside I probably would with this antenna.

    Works great and easy to set up. I set it up near my smart television after I cut the cord. Reception is 40-50 miles from antenna channels and I get a clear picture from the available channels. I recommend this for anybody that wants to "cut the cord".

    Be sure to check the Clear Stream website to see if there are any channels in reach of your home, but if there are this thing will get them. In fact, the website said we’d pick up 6 channels...but on 2 of our 3 TVs we actually get 12! Clear picture; great reception except in the worst of weather.

    Easy to install. Assembly was quick and straightforward. My install was on my third floor deck so it had nothing blocking the signal. Scanned for channels and got 71 channels without needing fury adjustment. Every channel is crystal clear. Great product.

    So I started out with one of those flat plastic antennas that you put in the window. It did ok with about 20 channels OTA. But there was a lot of pixelating on 2 of the network stations. Those are the ones I really wanted. So then I got a small $40. Outdoor antenna and used the satellite post on the roof for a mount. I then got anywhere from 25 to 35 channels but still a lot of pixels and the channels were iffy day to day. So I started looking at reviews of all outdoor antennas. The ones rated the highest were 14’ to 16’ long. I didn’t want that kind of eyesore on the roof of my house no matter how good it is. I checked with Best Buy and they had this one in stock and I could pick it up in an hour. BTW, this is during the covid 19 pandemic, so everyone was staying home by State decree. This is one of the ones I reviewed that was highly rated. So I ordered it on line and got an email 30 minutes later to come pick it up. I pulled up to the designated parking area and they brought it to my car and put it in the back seat. Went home assembled it in 10 minutes and just set it next to the tv and patio slider on the floor. I reprogrammed the channel set up and BAM! I got 41 channels. So then I went up on the roof and swapped it for the cheapo antenna using the RG6 cable the dish network left next to the mount. Came in and reprogrammed the tv again and WHAM BAM!!! 67 channels. More importantly, All the network stations that are about 30 miles away came in very clear, (HD Quality), no pixelating. Well slap my butt and call me Sally, I’m happy.

    I installed it in the Attic works great gets lots of channels in HD. I plugged it into my whole house coax system and receive a great picture on all my TV. It was a easy install just had to run a coax cable from the antenna to my coax system board.

    This is a solid antenna that is easy to install in the attic. I am able to pick up nearly all the Chicago and Rockford stations (only the region's difficult CBS stations are regularly missing, both Chicago's and Rockford's, but each does come in sometimes) at 60 miles out, and even when the whether is less than ideal, I rarely lose any channels.

    This is the best antenna I've had. Does a fantastic job of picking up channels in my area. I have it installed outside on my roof. Easy set up and mounting. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to take advantage of over the air television. Price a little high but product delivers.
