Review
I was very disappointed with the performance of this antenna, it looked very promising at first except it didn’t pick up Kttc nbc which was about 30 miles away and was on vhf 10 yet it was really glitchy cutting in and out even though I thought this antenna would have no trouble picking it up. It unfortunately did not. I’d like to return this antenna asap

Worse reception than an antenna half the price.
Worse reception than an antenna half the price and half the size. I had high expectation given reviews and social media pushing this product. Not impressed at all.

This antenna delivered for me
This antenna delivered for me. I went from a decent antenna getting 100 channels to now getting 121 channels using the 4MAX.
Channels lock in with little to no repositioning necessary for harder to receive channels.
Of course, being in a major metro area definitely helps.

Possible issues with Hi V signal, or something
It's the priciest one you all recommended for my location (22460), but it's not great. Specifically, I can't get in the local (Richmond, VA) NBC station AT ALL, ever. I have just gotten it up to the attic and am getting 20+ nice stations with little or no static but there is no NBC. I think it's about the Hi-V signal? Another purchaser here added an "element antenna" an...

Response from Staples :
Hi there! We are sorry to hear you are having trouble pulling in your local NBC channel. This could be due to the location of the towers and where you installed the antenna in your home. In these cases, we suggest moving the antenna to a couple different locations and running some additional channels scans after moving the antenna to see if you can pick up the signals that are not coming in. If you continue to have trouble after trying this, please give our support team a call at 877-825-5572, and they will perform a very detailed signal analysis of your location to help determine what the problem may be. We are available Monday-Friday to help. We appreciate your purchase and honest feedback!

Great antenna
Clear picture. We are able to view the local news stations. Nice to have as a backup when the internet connection is interrupted or just to enjoy some of the older programs.
Have picked one up for my father. Recommend this antenna to
my family members and friends.

New antenna is worth the replacement of the old
It was easy to put together. The higher the antenna is, the more channels you'll receive. We purchased 2 as we and a family member were having trouble with consistency with the existing channels. The channels are now staying solid with a rare hiccup. We receive one more channel than the family member which is due to the height of the placement of the antenna. Overa...

The antenna shown above.
We needed a stronger antenna to pick up all of our channels. This worked really good for all but 2. Signal is weak. Otherwise it was extremely good.

Awesome product
Great product. It replaced my 20 year old, 7 foot long, Radio Shack antenna. I live in central New Jersey, 35 miles from NYC and 60 Miles from Philly. Went from 72 channels to 112 channels.

Cutting the Cord
This antenna is an extremely great value. It was so easy to install and set up in my attic. It connects easily to existing cable TV coax cables and works better than I ever expected. I am getting 60 channels on five televisions, and I could not be happier to be free of high cable costs. I highly recommend Antennas Direct and this antenna.

Impressive Performance
I also have a MOHU Leaf ant. and got the 4Max for further/weaker channels. My location is 12 mi. SW of Baltimore; 18 mi. NW of Annapolis; and 24 mi. NE of DC.

Excellent Over-the-Air, HD antenna!
I ordered the ClearStream 4MAX antenna because I'd read some good reviews about it. Additionally, it was about $40 cheaper than buying at the local electronics store. It came within a timely manner, as promised. It is lightweight and was easy to assemble in the house. I placed mine in a nice open space in the attic of my home and was able to point it in the directio...

Great UHF antenna, not so great VHF performance
Overall, a good UHF antenna. High-vHF reception is marginal to poor. Most markets have most channels on the UHF band nowadays so may be fine for most people. Check what bands your local broadcast stations transmit on and if the channels you want to watch are on UHF, this is a great antenna.
Pros:
1. Small profile - I have it installed in a tight space in the attic. ...

Perfect after trying a bunch
I cut the cord more than 10 years ago. I’ve used a number on antennas in my attic due to the neighborhood restrictions. My search has ended, the Clearstream 4 Max is the best of the bunch. I live between Mobile, AL and New Orleans, LA and place 2 in my attic. I now receive 75 DTV channels over the air. The antenna is easy to assemble, it is light and easy to instal...

I would get this again.
Antenna is easy to assemble. Fit is good. Stuck it in the attic without any real effort. Connected to RG-6 quad shield I already had up there and I get all the available local channels. Clearly and reliably.
