I live on the beach in Newport and I get nothing but the Foreign language stations. Waste of money

Got better FM radio reception and more local TV channels with an old single rabbit ear antenna.

It didn't Work We istalled the antena on top of the house and didn't get anything no channel

My cheaper one worked as well which is not good. Did nothing to get more channels

This antenna will give you the same channels as a $50.00 one so don't waste your money

Cant get any channels and if you do you lose signal right away dont waste your money.

did not receive any signal from tv towers 30 to 50 miles away.

The item may be great but I didn't get any reception at my house

Did not work for me. Could only get one station. Had to return.

It doesn't pick up anything. I am looking for a different type.

My area has very bad over air TV . 4v was no help at all sadly .

Got no signal at all.returned to Best Buy with no problem

No better reception than a indoor $39 antenna.****

Item did not do what it said it does on the packaging

Did not pickup as many chanils as my old rabbit ears

This my be a good item it just doesn't work in my area.

Note: my review is for the New version of this antenna: the C4-V-CJM, (which Bestbuy sells at its regular price of $149.99, purchase price $112.+tax). Note: both C4-CJM & C4-V-CJM look very similar, only difference is the added "T" antenna at the top. (I believe its the same piece that the "Model: C2-V-CJM" has). This is an amazing antenna. yes its pricy at $112 dollars. If you are considering changing from cable to air you are really doing yourself a favor by jumping onto an antenna of this class. Let me start by doing a comparison between 3 other antennas, this would give you better perspective of what I learned, and compared it with. Note: These antennas were all tested indoors, in Miami, FL. 33193 (I believe the nearest antenna tower is 20+ miles away, North East, with Heading of about 40-45 degrees). Here we go: 1) an old Phillips bunny ears antenna (this is a simple antenna with 2 sticks)... This antenna recognized about 10 channels, and made me adjust the antenna to every single channel to get the best possible reception and was easily interfered with my body. Recommendation: Avoid this type of antenna, at all cause!!! (this is your 5-10 dollar range antenna) Rating: -1 stars out of 5 2) A Terk omni directional flat panel indoor antenna. (Model: OMNITV1A), with signal amplifier. (purchased @BBY for 79.99). Truthfully I have to say that this antenna is nice, it gets plenty of channel very clear, and you dont need to move it around to get your signal. (Note: i placed it out of the bat in the best place I could)... Performance: it recieved 30 channels which a good 25-27 of them were very strong and clear. (note: channel FOX:7-1, and ABC:10-1 which were VHF were very choppy, not very clear.) Rating: 3 stars out of 5 3) Antenna's Direct clearstream 2v Long-Range HDTV Antenna. (Model: C2-V-CJM), (purchased @BBY for 99.99). Now this was an amazing antenna. right out of the bat it showed all third channels that the terk recieved clear, with no problems at all. No drop in signals nothing to complain about. To give you an idea how good this antenna is, just imagine that it actually recieved 50-53 channels over the air!!!!!!! (now you can calculate how good the reception was on the first third channels that the terk recieved, the other 20 channels were really good except for 2 or 3 of them, which were channels 48-?, 29-?. Note: I did notice that reception was poorer during the day (1:00pm-6:00pm)... This was the time I could test the antenna during the day. Channels quality dropped, (meaning that more channels were dropped, but there were random channels that I didn't even care to watch). Anyways during this time frame I was still receiving around 40-45 good channels... and they were the most watched local channels. Rating: 5 stars out of 5 4) Antenna's Direct c4-cjm 20-inch ClearStream, (Model: C4-V-CJM). (purchased @ BBY for $112) Truthfully This antenna did not perform much better then the previous one as channel quantity goes. But I did feel that the channels I was struggling with 48-?, and 29-? were a little more stable! Note: this antenna is very nice looking, but its a little big, about the size of a 23"-27 flatpanel tv. Note: if you decide to place this antenna indoors, you must remember that you have to aim it where the TV towers are located, which means you might have to turn it around, and hence you will be looking at the back of the antenna. (which doesn't look to bad, but not as nice as the front!). Rating: 5 stars out of 5 So my conclusion This antenna as well as its little brother are amazing, I would recommend them if you have the cash to spare. and if your looking to get as many channels as possible. remember if your replacing cable with this then you should be looking for the most stable and strongest antenna possible. Note: I opted to pay $112 dollars for the C4-V-CJM more surface area. which I know it can not hurt, it can only make things better. Note: The ClearStream antennas do not use a inline booster (antenna signal booster like the terk). (I did test the clearstream antennas with Terks antenna booster, and I noticed no difference in signal!!). Hope This review is good for you guys, its my first! :)

I live in a remote area, basically flat with trees around. We're about 38 miles from the transmitters which are in one area of our region. I installed the antenna in my attic and it picks up through a layer of OSB sheathing and architectural shingles. I went the extra step and aimed it with a compass according the bearings found on antennapoint.com. The results were excellent. The antenna found 38 channels. That is, all of the major networks and many other bonus channels, a few of which are in a direction other than the one the antenna is pointed in. The picture is clear. In fact, better than my Hi-def cable picture. I would have given this a five star rating but I noticed during my weeks of research that the price is creeping up and I believe that it my keep going up as more people cancel their cable accounts. Install this antenna according to the instructions, point it carefully to the transmitters, and it will serve you well.

We kept hearing there was "no way" to get local channels over the air, as the broadcast transmitters are located about 50 miles away, in Fort Myers, FL. This antenna picked up 27 channels on the FIRST scan, including all major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and FOX). Assembly is a tad bit confusing, because our antenna doesn't look exactly like the one in the "help" video on YouTube, and you have to be a little bit intuitive to interpret the written instructions. Also, this comes with a VHF component. We finally decided to leave that off entirely, since the HD channels are all on UHF, and we don't need VHF. Because our HOA won't allow rooftop antennas, we put it in the attic and used the existing coax cable run kindly provided by DirecTV. Now we're in the process of adding Sling and a recorder. Total investment here including tax will be about $500. We have been paying DirecTV about $115 per month, so this will pay for itself in less than five months, and the rest is gravy. We've planned a celebration for the day we call DirecTV to cancel!

Just cut the cord with cable and their abominable prices. Emerald Hills is a tough location for reception, so after trying a few indoor antennas including the Mohu Leaf 50 mile range ($70), We went for the"after all else fails" option. Installed a rooftop outdoor antenna to get the local stations. We used Clear Stream 4v with a 65+ range. It takes a bit of work to assemble, but it's fairly easy. After a few scans, it got from 70-90 channels, and all the local stations we normally watch. Happy to finally cut the cable bill and go back to how tv used to be watched - with an outdoor antenna. Lol Giving it a 4 because it works in a difficult area with lots of hills and trees, but honestly, I think it's overpriced. I originally paid $170 and when the sale price went to $150 I was able to get the price match from Best Buy. If you already have an older outdoor antenna you should be able to connect that to your tv. I didn't have one, and I went for the easiest option, as they were in stock at the Best Buy store. You can probably find other much cheaper antennas online, but I didn't want to have to deal with assembling and returning stuff.
