    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.

    ClearStream MAX-VR amplified OTA

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very good reception, the only thing I don't like, is that it drops the signal for a second or two when a vehicle drive by my house, but not as bad as the first two OTA I tried. The plastic clips that hold the horizontal bar are cheap, one broke when I tried to clip the antenna bar in place.

    Less than average antenna.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We had an inside small antenna and picked up 28 channels. We switched to this antenna and mounted it outside up on the roof. We lost Fox channel completely and only pick up 22 channels. I moved it to different places on the roof but no better. Still don't get CBS. Very disappointed in this antenna. It is supposed to be omni directional but really needs to be pointed towards the towers. We are only 20 - 30 miles from the towers. The channels we do get come in very clear. Probably better antennas out there for the price.

      Hi RayD! Thank you for your honest review of our ClearStream MAX-XR Complete Amplified HDTV Antenna. Considering your short distance from the nearest towers, you may want to run a channel scan without the included amplifier. Over-amplification can occur if you are trying to use an amp too close to the broadcast towers. We also have a free app called Antenna Point you can download to your iOS or Android phone. Once you download, the app will identify your location. You will see the towers in the surrounding area, so you aim the antenna in the right direction to pick up the TV signals. If this does not help, please give our tech support team a call at 877-825-5572 and they will perform a FREE signal analysis, this will better assist them in pinpointing what the problem may be. We are available Monday-Friday to help! Thank you. antennasdirect
