    Outdoor antenna

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

    Antenna was for indoors purposes, but it is primarily an outdoor unit. It comes in pieces and you have to assemble it. It was not what I was looking for in an antenna for this price point. Also it did not even include a coaxial cable to connect it to your television. Not worth the time or trouble.

      Hi there, we are happy to assist you with the assembly and installation process if you would like. Call us Monday-Friday at 877-825-5572 and we will be happy to help! Also, we do not include coaxial cable in the box for a reason. Every installation is not the same, so providing a standard cable length wouldn't help everyone and we do not want people to pay for something they might not use. We clearly state on our packaging that coaxial cable is not included. We apologize for this inconvenience. antennasdirect

    Not what I expected. It was placed in the attic and I thought it would work better than the "flat" antenna inside of the house because of the height. It doesn't seem to be any better. I would have returned it but I threw the box away before I realized the disappointment.

    Wanted to use this to get our local ABC station duing the YouTube TV/Disney dispute and was not able to get a clear signal at all plus it only found about 12 stations. We are in a pretty populated area and the towers not very far. Unfortunately had to return this.

      Hi David, we are sad to hear you didn't have a great experience with our ClearStream MAX-XR antenna. The MAX-XR should have brought in more channels than an indoor antenna, especially if you installed it outdoors or in an attic. Did you rescan your TV for channels after connecting the new antenna? This is a very important step when changing antennas because the TV signals are locked in on the channels from your previous antenna and why your experience was the similar. Please, connect the new antenna again, placing the antenna in the line of sight to the broadcast towers and rescan your TV for channels. If you still have issues after trying this, give us a call at 877-825-5572 (located in St. Louis) and one of our experts will assist you. Thank you for sending us a message. antennasdirect

      Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear the antenna didn’t meet your expectations for receiving all your local channels. Reception can vary depending on factors like your location, distance from broadcast towers, and even your TV's built-in tuner. We’d love the chance to help troubleshoot. Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team at 877-825-5572, we’re happy to assist and see if we can get you those channels! Thank you. antennasdirect

      Hi ScottS! We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Placing an antenna in the right location is the key to achieving the best signals. If you placed the antenna on the floor, for instance, the signals may not have been presented or low to the floor. For indoor purposes, even an indoor/outdoor antenna needs to be up high. Towers are 1500 feet up in the air. Most of those signals are not pointing down, so we ALWAYS recommend placing the antenna up as high as possible to achieve the best signal reception. We recommend chatting with our tech support team at 877-825-5572, and they will perform a free home signal analysis to help determine what the issue could be. They will also have tips on how to improve reception while facing certain obstacles. We are available Monday-Friday to help. Thank you for your purchase and honest feedback! antennasdirect
