Customers are saying
Customers are impressed with the ClearStream Micron Indoor Long-Range Digital TV Antenna's reception, picture quality, and ease of use. Many appreciate its ability to pick up a good number of channels and its relatively compact size. However, some customers found the signal strength inconsistent and a few felt the price was a bit high for the performance. The length of the included cable was also a point of concern for some users.

Buy an amplified model instead
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually like less than 5 miles from most of the TV transmitters in Detroit, so I thought I could get away with a less expensive antenna. The cheap one did a decent job, but the sound was choppy. So I returned it and bought this "premium" Antennas Direct model that wasn't much better, but was nearly 3x the price. Which I also returned. In the end I bought an amplified TERK and it does great.

Can't get ABC, CBS or public broadcasting. ????
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The channels it picks up come in clear; however, I can't get ABC or CBS, public broadcasting nor many of the lower number channels. When I turn it I get à few different channels.

Posted .It's possible you need a different antenna. Reception is usually dependent on location. Distance and location may determine an antenna with different reception characteristics. Please call our tech support line @ 877-825-5572. We can help analyze your specific situation. Thanks!

Just like rabbit ears but worse
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would probably like it better if the feet didn't keep falling off the d@mn thing. There is nothing to hold the legs on so if you pick up the antenna to adjust it the feet fall off which is so annoying. works about as good as my old rabbit ears. I dropped the unit, because the stupid feet fell off, and now it rattles like something broke inside. this thing is junk

Ok antenna for light TV use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Antenna does pick up the local channels but most channels are unclear or come in and out. You will have to adjust the antenna frequently to watch the channels clearly

I got taken on this purchase!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy usually carries really solid brands and i have grown to trust them over the years. BUT this particular antennae and the sales pitch used to sell it really got my goat. I was told that this thing would pick up clearly from stations up to 25 miles away. Well this thing has trouble with stations 4 miles away!! remember the days of analog TV and moving the antennae around for the best reception? Well if your into retro stuff this thing is for you!! Way over priced. The $19 unit i got from Best Buy performed better!!

Better than nothing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked better than no antenna at all, but works worse than the rabbit ears I had left over from an old TV. I'm less than ten miles from one TV station that won't come in at all. I'll be returning it.

Limited channel availability
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this indoor antenna with the hope of avoiding paying expensive monthly cable TV subscription fee. But, it was a disappointment. I got only 4 TV channels at my home 7 miles away from city center (population of 100,000). The reception is also very position-dependent. I would not recommend this antenna device unless one knows there are lots of local TV channels available.

Good looks but mediocre reception
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this item after a week and opted for an attic/outdoor mount style antenna for optimum reception. I used this antenna on the first floor of my home and reception was not so great. Had to constantly move direction of the antenna to receive and maintain signal for the channel desired. I live in an urban (city) area and had higher hopes for this antenna.

not very good coverage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This only picked up about 6 channels and the signal was weak. I was well within the range and had this placed in a window with a clear view. I will probably buy the next model up and see if it does any better
