Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V Indoor Outdoor TV Antenna UHF VHF Multi-Directional, 60+ Mile Range, 4K 8K UHD, NEXTGEN TV – w/Reflector, 20-inch Mast

So simple to set up Windows and curtains closed and still have exactly the same reception as when they were open BRILLIANT .

Never owned a better attenna will recommend it to everyone

I have channels facing north, east, and south but I have a west facing window on the fourth floor of an apartment. I did have to stick it to the outside of my window. Hoping the screen is enough to protect it from Canadian winter. The omnidirectional function of this works great because I pickup 9 local channels.

The 2V antenna was initially placed indoors next to the tv. . Even though the Mount-Royal mountain is in the pathway of certain US transmitters preventing me from getting those channels, I was able to receive 10 local channels and 3 US channels situated at a 55 mile distance to the south, and the image was crystal clear . Then I had the antenna installed on the roof combined to a Channel Master CM-7777HD TV Antenna Amplifier, on low gain, now I have a total of 15 US channels in addition to the 10 local ones and reception for the majority is excellent. After one year of use, I am quite satisfied, but decided to upgrade to the 4V in order get a more stable picture on the on the channels with a weaker signal. The 4V was installed in the exact same location as the 2V by a professional installer on the roof and it basically lost all the US channels. For some reason the 2V greatly outperformed the 4V, therefore the 2V was placed back on the roof and the 4V sent back. Even the installer had no clear explanation as to why the 4V was unable to perform as well as the 2V, either it was defective or it captured more noise from the surrounding cell towers and completely lost the weaker signals.

I recently cut my tv cable due to rising costs and frequent reception issues. I still have internet and subscribe to some of the streaming services but I also wanted to be able to receive local channels. I chose this antenna based on a You tube review by Antenna Man. It's definitely not the cheapest antenna I could have ordered but I felt it was a good value based on the antenna quality. I also prefer the look of the antenna compared to the old style big metal rooftop antennas. The antenna was easy to assemble and install. I first mounted it to a piece of plywood and moved it around until I received the strongest signals from the stations I wanted to receive.. I live about 38 miles southwest of Seattle. A big part of that distance is the Puget Sound that doesn't create any signal barriers but on land, there are lots of hills, trees, homes and other structures between my home and the transmission towers. I wanted an antenna that would be strong enough to pick up signals in a challenging environment. The back of my home faces a few degrees to the north of east. I was able to mount the antenna on the back of my two-story home at about 15' above ground level. I swung the antenna on its mount to face it more northward to be in line with Seattle. The antenna is functioning well. It pulls in 70 channels with 65 channels being perfectly clear I read on a couple of forums that people claimed to be receiving channels as clear and in as high of resolution as with cable. I didn't believe it until I saw it for myself. A couple of the local stations also have apps that are installed on my tv so I can switch back and forth to compare them. The picture from the antenna and the cable look the same! I like the design and size of this antenna. It sits on the side of the house without looking too obtrusive. I'll never know if another antenna would work better, potentially at a lower cost but I'm happy with this purchase and believe it's a good value for the cost.

I bought this to replace a Channelmaster Flatenna, which cost $10 shipped from Channelmaster (now $19) and $10 + shipping ordered here. The Flatenna does as good of a job as the more expensive flat rectangular antennas that I tried, but it isn't very good on low VHF (channels 2 through 6), which a few stations still use. When a station in my area that dual-broadcasts on UHF 47 and VHF 4 began having issues with its UHF band, I bought this antenna. It picks up the VHF band of that station, and it also picks up every other station in my area that other indoor antennas get. It should be noted that the transmitter of the low-VHF station is only a few miles away; other transmitters vary between 15 and 35 miles away. This does not pick up stations that are 60 miles away (nor is it advertised to), even with the amplifier. The one downside is the amplifier. It did not improve reception on any stations, and it distorted a few due to over-amplification. The problem with the amplifier is that the antenna is useless if the amplifier is connected but not plugged into a power source (USB, outlet, etc.). Because of this, if you need to switch from a station that needs the amplifier to one that is distorted when it's plugged in, you have to swap the entire amplifier out, meaning unscrewing and screwing in cables. I therefore recommend that you buy just the antenna itself, and if you need an amplifier for harder-to-reach stations, buy one with a toggle switch that turns it on and off but still allows the antenna to work if the amplifier is toggled off. Overall, this is an excellent antenna that does work for me on a low VHF station with a nearby transmitter, and it works on stations on the UHF band with transmitters up to 35 miles away. I don't recommend the amplifier at this time.
