Great Reception for a Compact Antenna
I purchased the ClearStream 4MAX UHF VHF Indoor Outdoor HD TV Antenna with 20-inch Mast about a month ago now. I had just moved from a two-story home, with a 16-foot antenna in the walk-up attic, to a one-level condo with a basement. For the first 3 weeks I had the antenna on the floor of the living room farthest away from the direction of the TV broadcast signals. It...

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

Great reception with Antenna in the house on table
Worked great. YouTube TV dropped my wife's soap channel. So I grabbed a Tablo and this antenna. I didn't want to mount it on the roof, so I stuck it in the guest bedroom on a table pointing toward the TV station. To my surprise, it's working perfectly.

Works great in attic
I installed in the attic and also used a Rocketfish mini drop amplifier, the amp plugs into the wall and boosts the coax signal. I get every channel possibly available in my area, and most transmitters are 26.!iles away. I am highly.satisfies with the performance of this antenna.

I am very happy with the 4MAX.
I ordered this to specifically get one network that was having a dispute with my tv provider. Considering that I put this in the middle of the house and propped it up with a pillow, and there are fir trees in line with the tower, and it was raining, I got a strong signal. I got all the networks and their subs.

Much better than expected.
I had a little hope to get any channels without 30 to 40 ft mast based on estimates from the transmitter locator and the nearest decent transmitters are over 50 miles away. I got the antenna and decided to just climb on my roof and set it up at about a 20 ft elevation with little hope of getting anything. To my pleasant surprise I'm getting 30 to 60 channels depending o...

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.
