    Very Disappointed. Tried to replace flat indoor antenna, but daw a very modest quality increase, but no additional channels, despite charts indicating many more should be receivable. May try to mount externally, but trial got fewer channels.

    I purchased this to recieve signals from39 miles away in Tampa, Florida. UHF reception was accceptable but VHF reception was non-existent. I had to research more options and was forced to use an alternative product.

    It was placed outdoors on our roof for maximum usage as per instructions, but still did not give us more than a few very local TV channels even after turning it to face all different directions. We live less than the requested distance from a very major city! I'd say only buy it if you lived right in the major city.

      Hi Beth, we are sorry to hear you did not have a great experience with our ClearStream MAX-XR Complete. Please call one of our experts before you return the product to the store. We have years of experience judging satellite overviews to estimate the signal blockage caused by obstructions such as trees, foliage, buildings etc... these obstructions will block signals and cause interference with other signals. Then we use information that you provide for your installation to finalize our recommendations on why you are not receiving more channels. Please give us a call today at 877-825-5572 we are available Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm CST. Thank you! antennasdirect

    We were told by two different sales associates that Best Buy’s Geek Squad could install this antenna in our attic. When the install crew arrived they told us they DO NOT install anything in attics or crawl spaces. We returned this item very disappointed. The sales staff needs to know the truth.

    Using this anntana im receiving 124 channels. I have my choice between Milwaukee or Chicago channels. The 60 mile distance may even be an undersell. I have this roof mounted wich puts it about 15 ft or so in the air and im picking up chanels broadcasting right at that 60 mile mark, and they are coming through crystal clear.
