It works great, but some times it loses the signal. Other than that it works fine. I live in a high rise building in the city with the TV stations on the opposite side. The signal is very strong and picture is very clear

Great Antenna. I live in the Bronx, and my TV looks like I have cable. I scanned a couple of times for channels and on my 2ND time picked up most channels normally watched in my household.

I was using an 8 yr old Mohu Leaf when I bought my new tv about 2 months ago. I decided to get the newest model, and use the older one for a tv in another room. The newer one provided only half the channels than the older model, mounted in the same exact postion on a wall. I returned it and decided on the Clearsteam XR which would be mounted outdoors. The XR was connected, and TEMPORARILY set on top of a tall piece of furniture, facing a window that is on the adjacent side of the house away from the local antennas. It provided over 70 channels, as opposed to 52 from the previous antenna. Both are amplified. My new plans were to connect 2 tv's to the XR when the weather cleared up. The install went flawlessly, including running 2 new coax runs from a splitter. Each tv has its own amplifier. I pointed the antenna toward the main antenna farm, about 9 miles away straight line using an app. The new livingroom tv after 1st scan locked onto 104 channels. The kitchen tv locked onto 98, since 6 of them were Next Gen ATSC 3.0 available thru the new tv's tuner. In the mix, I am receiving out of state broadcasts from NY and DEL flawlessly. A bonus I didn't expect. I will be running another branch to a 3rd tv when I have the time. I'm a very happy camper! Also, the newer tv can display signal strength and quality for each channel. The vast majority are 100 & 100. The out of state range from 74 to 85 signal strength, and in the low to mid 90's for signal quality. It's a really good antenna!

I wanted an antenna that would work in the attic. This one does. Outside you deal with rain and wind and sun you don't have to deal with in the attic. I had to adjust angle and positions a little but I have about 80 channels that come in very well. Most of those I don't care about. ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox all come in crystal-clear. BTW I tried the Least expensive panel antenna. It was inconsistent.

Best antenna out there. Can be used inside and outside. Picks up channels the best when pointed direct site of the signal tower. I have large trees and get 8 to 12 channels in the summer. However, in the winter I get an average of 32 channels.

I purchased the ClearStream antenna to see if I could get better reception than my old leaf antenna. I picked up ten more stations with less pixilating than my old antenna did. The new antenna needed to be assembled, but it was fairly simple to do. The new antenna worked in the same location as the old antenna, so I did not have to hunt around for the best location the get the most stations. I got a better picture and better sound with the new antenna. I heartily recommend the ClearStream antenna.

Purchased this antenna 2 weeks ago. Antenna reception (with amplifier) works well. Without using the electric amplifier, it does not work well. All the regular stations I watch are within a 10 mile radius (as the crow flies) from where I live in a suburban area. Made in Taiwan. The dipole antenna clips were very cheaply made and 1 was broken in the box when it was opened. I Called the manufacturer and they sent the clips out quickly. 90 day warranty on certain parts of antenna (i.e., the amplifier and cable, splitter), and lifetime on others. It works better than most other antennas with the amplification in use. A con are certain parts are made poor quality and I don't know how long the amplifier will last (not the best quality). Another con is the high price for an antenna.

For some reason it took a few weeks for the signal for all channels to come in like it should. It’s working fine now. Our best location for the antenna is on the roof. I connected the antenna cable to our unused cable TV cable. We are getting all of our local channels just fine. With the Roku voice remote we can tell the TV which channel we want to view as well, avoiding having to use the guide button each time.
It’s been nice not having to pay for cable TV subscriptions.

The first antenna I got wouldn't pick up any channels in my area. Once I set this one up I had 58 channels, So excited to have lots of options to watch my TV without extra cost.
