Antennas Direct ClearStream 4V TV Antenna, 70+ Mile Range, UHF/Vhf, Multi-Directional, Indoor, Attic, Outdoor, Mast W/Pivoting Base/Hardware/Adjustable Clamp/Sealing Pads, 4K Ready, Black – C4-V-CJM

Great antenna. The best I’ve tried. Much better than the 5 star ones. Spend the extra money and get this one.

I installed this outdoor antenna with amazing results! Assembly of the antenna was easy, but of course it is dependent on your handiness. Before with inside antennas of every possible type and configuration, I could detect only 20 channels and probably watch 4 (at most) without constant major pixelation. Watching sports became frustrating, and was the last straw to motivate me to get the best outdoor antenna I could find. I have heavy tree cover, and reception is better in the winter when the leaves are off the trees. I live about 35 miles from the TV transmitters too. After installation on the roof pointed to the right direction, I got 60 channels and all of the channels came in clearly! There are still tree tops in the way, but I can now watch football, baseball, and hockey from the local stations (when they are broadcast), with no freezes or pixelation at all! Some Notes: 1. It was important to use the "Antennas Direct transmitter locator" website to get the direction of the transmitters, and then line it up exactly with the digital compass on iPhone (bluetooth must be on to get the highest accuracy). 2. I also learned a lot about antennas and installation. Watching some YouTube videos, it was recommended to use conductive grease for all of the outdoor coax cable connections, to prevent moisture and provide longer life at the connections. This tube of conductive grease was less than $5, so it was well worth applying it to every connection outside. 3. The cheap cable splitters significantly reduce antenna signal strength and just don't work for antennas! When I placed the antenna, I went through a door to directly connect the cable to the TV to get 60 channels. After confirming direction and that the antenna worked as advertised, I connected to the inside of the house using the existing coax cables and splitters that were already installed. I lost significant antenna signal from even just one two-way splitter. Wow, this was a revelation to me, but then realized that these cheap cable splitters work better for cable TV than for antennas! I went from 60 channels down to 30, and the two stations I really wanted disappeared again. So if this antenna is going to multiple televisions or the coax cable to the TV is longer than 50 feet (mine was 125 feet), it is highly recommended to get the Channel Master amplified signal splitter (2-, 4-, or 8-way amplified splitter). I researched this too, and found that Channel Master had high ratings and good customer service. 4. I got the antenna with both the UHF and VHF antenna. The VHF antenna is the bar across the top, and for $50 less you can just get the UHF antenna. I'm not sure which stations get picked up by the VHF antenna (however I do have some just audio radio stations on TV now) but if the model number has the "V" in it, it probably has the VHF antenna (just look for the dark bar across the top of the figure "8" antennas). If the "V" is missing from the model number, it probably does not have the VHF antenna. That's why you may see some of these antennas that are $50 less expensive than others. This took some research to find this answer too, but I've documented it here to make it easier for others. It's clear viewing now on every channel! I'm really happy with this antenna, and after the initial investment, I'll save at least $100+ per month from cable TV. I can't say you'll get as good of results as I did, but it has greatly improved my viewing pleasure!

Muy buena antena, en UHF es extremadamente buena, si que tiene muy buena recepcion, en VHF ahi si se le complica mas obetener estaciones mas lejanas, pero por el precio en que la compre valio la pena.

Je regrette de ne pas avoir fait cet achat plus tôt. Je payais tellement cher pour avoir le câble. Je n'avais pas réalisé que j'allais être autant heureuse avec une antenne. C'est sur que je n'ai pas accès à tous les postes que je voudrais, mais on s'habitue. Plusieurs émissions peuvent être écoutés sur internet de toute façon. Pour le prix à payer, je rentre dans mon argent en un peu plus de 2 mois! J'aurais dû faire ça bien avant. J'habite à la campagne sur la rive-sud de Montréal et je reçois une vingtaine de poste dont radio-canada, tva, cbc, ctv, télé-québec, noovo et plus. Nous l'avons installé à l'extérieur sur le toit de la maison. Je recommande!!

This thing works great. I’ve been messing around with a few different antennas for years and it has been really frustrating because we have trees around and our small city relies on towers that are all kind of far away. Most people I know just shrug and don’t even try getting over the air TV here. Now after 20 years of living here I realize I’ve been missing out all along because this thing pulls in pretty much everything that’s broadcast. I get all my NFL games for free and haven’t had any reception problems at all. I put this on my roof and used RG 11 cable to run it to my TV from my roof. It’s maybe a little bit overkill to use such thick cable but I figured less signal loss in the cable might save me from needing a pre-amp. It’s more than a 50 foot run but the only connection is through the grounding block and then it just goes to one TV. It’s nice and simple, there’s no preamp that can break and mess things up and it seems to be working great. The installation instructions didn't say anything about grounding for roof installation but people should know that they need to do that. Do a quick Google search on how to do it and make sure you’re not skipping that part.
