    ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 60 Mile Range

    • It maintains excellent signal strength for sources ~30 miles away from our house while mounted in our attic.
    • I did have to find the sweet spot for "the nail" to hang the antenna from to receive the best signal
    • but i still seem to be getting a good signal
    • I tried it in the attic & couldn't get a strong enough signal
    • I sometimes get spotty signals on the stations that are about 30 miles out.
    • I wanted something string so she would get a good signal, so I opted for a more expensive solution than a simple "leaf" style antenna
    • Even though all local stations broadcast from the same area on the highest point in the county, we had to re-aim this giant antenna a few degrees to get good signal on the local CBS and PBS stations both of which broadcast in UHF.
    • It's fixed pointing NW, so that my desired stations fall within it's beam width (though signals are weaker but still reliable for a couple of Dayton stations that lie nearly due north of my location).
    • I also noticed that the signal got disrupted when I turned on the blue ray player and Xbox which were only 5 feet away from the antenna
    • But I would advise buying a flat screen HDTV that has a strong signal pickup
    • Provides a good signal
    • The signal is clearer then the cable I used to have.
    • Channel 2.1 out of Daytona (34 miles) always had a weak signal which varied from 0 to 15 (on 0 - 100 scale).All the other Orlando stations came in at 95+ with the C2.The problem was channel 2 was broadcasting from the VHF band
    • No antenna made can get a clean signal with a jet in the way. :-)
    • One of those 3 weak signal majors would go out if someone walked by the hdtv
    • The antenna works great in my attic, however I had to move it around several times to find a spot that received a clear signal
    • The signal scrambles when the micro wave is
    • and I now get a stronger signal and 4 more channels for a total of 23 channels
    • The signal was surprisingly clear
    • All the extra channels that initially showed up are now low signal strength and not viewable
    • The signal on Fox kept breaking up
    • Poor quality junk, Even when used with an amplifier I could barely pick up any signal from any direction
    • I wanted to replace an old indoor Radio Shack antenna with electric amplifier that uses too much space but that received strong signals
    • In my quest to "cut the cord", I purchased this antenna to get the best signal possible
    • This means trees are blowing in the wind and all that movement is probably disrupting signal
    • The pictures are great!First find out what direction your free air signals come from.
    • AFter assembling, antenna greatly improved signal from NYC 25 miles away.
    • The view south towards Black Mountain is partially obscured by a couple of trees across the street, but it's still bring in all the channels with strong signal, with no amplifier on the line
    • It gets a very strong signal where I got poor signal strength with other antennas
    • If you're splitting the signal to more than one TV over long stretches of wire, then ensure to get a pre-amplifier and place it between the antenna and splitter.- Your TV DTV Tuner.
    • That's pretty much the standard solution in order to grab a distant/weaker signal
    • Channels 5,20, and 38 are not completely stable and it depends on time of day and weather for a good signal
    • May work for all signals but definitely stellar HD for UHF, happy with it.
    • Great tv signals already with it just sitting in the living room.
    • Its signal degraded when I did
    • For those channels with decent signals I still see pixelation.
    • I replaced a Antnnas Direct DB2 with this and the extra gain in the VHF band allows me to get channels 8, 11 and 13 (PBS, CBS and ABC) which for whatever reason put out a pitifully weak signal here
    • Also I experimented with my son and we found a nice spot on the rooftop of our apartment building where we were able to find a nice signal
    • Works great and has a strong signal!
    • I'm approximately 50 miles from towers due North and due East and getting great signal.
    • No drop outs or HDTV signal problems
    • Be aware that you may have to place this antenna outside to get a better signal.
    • I was hoping it would pull in stations with a stronger signal or have a clearer picture.
    • I live 10 miles from the Washington DC towers and got great signal around 45 channels including the major 4 networks (NBC, FOX, ABC & CBS), spanish channels (Univision, VME, MundoFOX and other public networks in spanish) and pretty much all in HD .
    • What is surprising is that I also get good TV signal from other channels coming from like 70 degree from where I point the antenna at
    • Good signals from stations that are 50 miles away.
    • We installed this antenna to take advantage of the free signal available roughly 30 miles from NYC
    • From reviews I read online, higher DB amps just cause more interference and wont improve your signal any more than a 10db amplifier
    • Good signal, lots of channels, best reception we've had in years!
    • The antenna is somewhat directional, though, so you'll need to be sure to square up the face with the direction of the towers you want to pull the best signal from
    • We picked up the more distant stations at 12 feet of the ground, but now the signal is rock solid at the peak of our 2-story home
    • It wrestles the signals out of the air and makes them it's b***h
    • The signal in all channels signal were very solid.
    • Back to the 56 stations (of which only 28 come in with enough signal strength to watch).I am going to use this at another location to see if it works any better
    • I was delighted to learn we now got all local channels with good signal strength on the meter which is built in to our
    • I will be roof mounting it in the spring and look forward to even stronger signal reception.
    • Awesome signal.
    • Our home is prewired with cable runs from 30 to 150 feet and installed a CDA8 1:8 splitting amplifier also made by the same company that makes the antenna and in 3 of the rooms further split the signal with a CDA4 1:4 splitting amplifier
    • It would pull in local channels with poor signal quality, probably a lot to do with the age of it, and the old/long cable runs.
    • When you add a splitter, you lose signal, this device uses electricity to compensate for that signal loss
    • Which is on the exact opposite end of the house of where it needed to be for the best signal
    • ALL of the major networks from the towers over 50 miles away (mostly VHF) were present in HD resolution and with strong signals
    • Picked up 10 more channels that were rated Blue or Violet on AntennaWeb.org while providing strong / quality signal on those channels that were fading with the Mohu...even on a rainy / foggy day.
    • i pick-up a strong signal from towers located approx 50 miles away.
    • It has always been a rock solid signal.
    • Depending on your location, an antenna is either going to be great or not; this antenna will definitely help (due to its size) if you are in a marginal signal area
    • I checked my address for signal online, and it said I should have a strong signal
    • Looks much less conspicuous than one of those honking Yagi antennas that may well perform better, but it's well worth the trade off for me with lots of medium strength signals to choose from
    • Strong enough signals that it should work through the summer, and I'm saving so much money
    • The signals are strong, clear and consistent and seem to be independent of weather.
    • I still have some bad days but this is the best signal I have ever had
    • We are very happy with the antenna - works just as advertised, even in our area, which is known for bad signal reception.
    • Even with the natural 3.5 dB signal loss due to the split, the antenna's built-in amplifier still feeds a strong signal to my furthest TV which is at the end of approximately 60 ft of coax cable
    • Now we get solid signal, regardless of the leaves, or any but the heaviest rainstorms
    • Over 30 miles to a broadcasting tower with lots of trees and still a great signal and now free TV.
    • It might be time to contact your Congressman/Senator/legislator and tell them to keep free Over the Air Broadcast signals available
    • The signal I am receiving is fair.
    • After fine tuning the heading / direction to get the best signal, I mounted the antenna in the attic on a roofing beam.
    • The signals give me sharp on screen images on sunny days (although you do need to get used to the slight interference that occurs when storms go through the area).
    • I have this at my primary residence and a vacation home and it seems to pull in whatever over the air programming that has a decent signal
    • AMAZING!!!!!Just to let you know in my area on the rating of a good signal we are in a 10
    • Signal is strong enough to use 150 feet long coaxial cable from the antenna (installed on the roof 15 feet above the ground) to a TV
    • Awesome Antenna, gets great signal and easy to install.
    • I have to adjust the direction sometimes and when I turn on another TV directly below it, it knocks out some of the weaker signals
    • Rain or shine, my signal is now always good enough to pull in SD and HD digital stations without getting errors.
    • I will probably need an amplifier to get a steady signal.
    • I bought some cheap white RCA antenna and didn't get any clear signals because of the way my house is located from the towers I had a decent amount of interference
    • I mounted this antenna in the attic a month ago and it gets a strong signal with every channel available even though I'm 50 miles away from the broadcasting towers
    • With absolutely no re-positioning and no amplification it picked up 34 digital channels with a solid signal strength the TV said was 97%.
    • The winegard low noise signal booster makes all the difference in the world with this smallest antenna.
    • The broadcast antennas are about 35 miles away with no mountains obstructing the signals.
    • It works really well, and the signal very strong and clear.
    • It gets a very strong signal where I got poor signal strength with other antennas
    • I was using a GE antenna and my best signal strength I could get was about 55-65 on any channel most times is was in the low 50s.
    • Not ideal signal strengths on all of them, but most were acceptable
    • I have seen buffer lag and a little screen tear on some of the stations out past 20 miles, but for the most part just pure HD signal
    • We now get the local NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and PBS stations over the air with decent signal strength - and everything else off the internet
    • Get a powered cable splitter to boost signal if you have a long run of coax between your antenna and TV
    • CBS2 has one of the worst signals for being such a major broadcast
    • I now get a great signal, with more stations than ever before and clear picture.
    • On those occasions when the winds are swirling (we are in Oklahoma after all) the signal for a particular channel will get wobbly or even go away for a short time but will straighten out/return quickly
    • I get about 20 more channels than before with a solid signal and of those 20 new channels about
    • I'm close enough to most of the broadcast towers in my area that reception isn't a problem, but there are a couple important channels (CBS and ABC) whose towers are farther out, and I was frequently losing the signal in less than ideal weather
    • Rock solid signals from every channel
    • The trick is to find the station that is the furthest away/the one you are getting the weakest signal and aim it in that direction
    • I get good signal for almost all channels
    • As of 2014, CBS is on a VERY weak digital VHF signal in Chicago
    • Oddly enough in the winter I had to point the antenna in a slightly different direction but signals are weird
    • The signal is very weak
    • With this antenna mounted in my attic, I get a full/solid signal from Seattle stations 35-40 miles away
    • Still received the Over-the-air channels with great signal
    • it was likely going to be put outside based on those 4 major channels having a weak signal strength for my location
    • so I can't get the best signal all the time.
    • I get excellent TV signal for all the major TV broadcast channels including VHF channels like ABC (channel 7) and Public Network Channel (channel 13).
    • I had a Mohu Leaf before this, and some of my channels would get choppy and lose their signals
    • Sadly, regardless of the direction I pointed the C2-V, its signals were far weaker than my old antenna.
    • This makes it fairly easy for me to point the RCA in one direction and get good signal strength from all the stations
    • It boosts signals by up to 33dB and has an FM trap
    • It pulled most of the stations I wanted, but the signal was weak
    • We pick up stations with a good signal that we haven't seen in years and it is great not to be paying a cable fee each month.
    • I can get over 40 digital air Channels with great signal strength.
    • I am in between Chicago and Milwaukee so the signals are really decent
    • I ended up using an little, old indoor Terk that plugged in to get consistent signals
    • Before we had Dish, we had one of those giant old antennas and it picked up signals great from this location, and it even got blown sideways in a windstorm and still had great a signal
    • The closer it is to zero the stronger the signal, ie -50 dBm is stronger than -76 dBm
    • After installation I spent a few sessions re-pointing the antenna to try to get stronger signals on certain channels, especially one particular channel which was not coming in very good
    • We could not get a clear enough signal where we live to provide a smooth viewing experience.
    • So I dug in and did more research and realized that the reason I wasn't getting a good signal from all my channels was that some were broadcasting in VHF, and the original CS2 was only designed/optimized for UHF frequencies
    • Following the instructions, and manufacturer's YouTube videos, I was able to obtain clear signals for most of the local stations
    • I adjust the antenna to get a better signal but it did not do any better
    • They are far enough away that the signal is not too good, but for the stations I am interested it, it works very well
    • and we now have 13 channels and the signals overall are much more reliable, especially the far endof the house that has the longest cable run that without the signal boosters only got 7 channels
    • But I had to move it around all the time and when people walked in front of it, the signal got lost.
    • I am able to get great signals and quite a few free air channels
    • Storms will knock the signal out along with snow and even on windy days it will come and go.
    • I have it connected to 5 TVs with no appreciable signal loss.
    • I needed a second person to report signal strength while rotated the antenna through all 360 degrees to find the best signal
    • I was also worried about using 50ft of cable and losing signal, but no amplifier was needed
    • So, the challenge in getting decent reception hasn't been distance but the fact that my immediate area is very hilly with lots of very large trees and massive retaining walls that interrupt signals of many kinds
    • In my case, it'd have to position it in the middle of my yard to get a good signal.
    • Many channels exhibited pixelation from a weak signal or interferce
    • Given:My 5 major channels were coming from 2 tower locations(1) major channel 7 miles away was rated as strong signal, @ 20 deg
    • The signal I received was strong enough that I was able to split it three ways to multiple rooms and it did not seem to affect the picture.total install time out of the box was probably 30-45 minutes
    • Without amplifier it delivers stronger signal than my other antennas with amplifiers
    • I've used a couple different types of antennas over the years but none have provided as reliable and clean signal as this antenna
    • Very strong signal!
    • It yields a clear signal, including 3 channels I could not receive before with an inside antenna.
    • The picture quality from the local channels was noticeably better than the HD signal from Comcast cable
    • Location & height in the attic was critical to get strong signal
    • yet I am able to pick up clear signals from stations throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey
    • The signal is also staying strong despite having no amplifier and being split between two televisions in different parts of the house
    • Signal was great, but had a couple stations that didn't come in very
    • (Detroit slightly blocked by neighboring two story house and Toledo clear shot).Great option with local cable channel now dropping HD channels from their cheapest cable package (now scrambling signal and only offering standard definition boxes without added cost).
    • and it's still an awesome signal, no booster or pre-amp etc
    • We put it on top of the second story peak with no obstructions and didn't even get a "frazzled" signal
    • We didn't get quite as good a signal as from the livingroom, so we turned the antenna slightly to the right to mimic the direction from the chair and whamo: over 30 stations and all the major ones were maximum strength
    • The Winegard Boost XT preamp helps with the flaky VHF signals and overcomes the long cable runs and multiple splits I have in my implementation
    • A few days later, we sent the signal thru one line of the former satellite RG-6 and lost strength on one channel
    • Of those 15 channels, I received the strong major channel & 3 of 4 weak signal majors.
    • This antenna is easy to install and provides a perfect signal for your HD TV
    • Signal boosted about 25-40% in strength
    • I mounted this antenna 20 ft above ground level, on a roof mounted mast and am receiving great signal from all 60 mile radius towers.
    • We have this antenna mounted in the attic and are getting very good signal.
    • The signal will distort depending on air traffic or weather and can be annoying.
    • My location on the edge of Portland, OR is where signals go to die.
    • I've tried to get a better signal strength by mounting it higher, but the signal remains at 72% no matter how high I mount it
    • We tried this indoors without the pre-amp and received 1-2 channels intermittently, with the pre-amp we were up to between 35 and 45 channels but placement was still an issue and walking in front of the antenna caused us to lose the signal
    • He warned me that the signal might not be strong enough to split to 2 TV's due to the length of the run - he was wrong
    • I think the signal must be very strong at this distance
    • With this ClearStream I can say I finally get a strong signal with no pixelation, or with some minor pixelation and breakup of the signal.
    • Again, this is due to their meager signal.
    • Is very sensitive to direction and have to move it a lot to get a good signal
    • I presently have this antenna mounted on the 3 rd floor in a window facing the right direction I would assume that I will receive a better signal when i move this out to the rooftopmy main channels are 140 Deg apart so need 2 different directions or a rotor.in
    • Strong enough signal to split the cable and run to two televisions, no noticeable loss.
    • So, in conclusion: easy assembly, small size, gets great signal for both UHF and VHF.
    • I theorized the new antenna might not be getting proper signal because it was overshadowed by the giant Jerrold
    • and it still could not produce a strong enough signal to gather all of the local TV stations.
    • and if you speak Spanish there are many channels with great signals available.
    • but we have a stronger signal for several channels.
    • The channel I had kept going in and out, with this 1 signal is strong no problem
    • Now based on the manufacturer claims - which state they reach channels up to 50 miles away with excellent signal strength I would have to conclude the product simply doesn't live up to all it claims
    • A quick channel-scan and some re-aligning up in the attic, and I was pulling down WOOD-TV with 80% signal strength and perfect video/audio signals
    • But now with digital signals I wondered I if things were better
    • Amazing!I added a $23
    • We started with an amplified indoor antenna, but that did not work as we had expected, and were only able to get two or three main network channels at any time (after MANY attempts of moving all it over the room at various heights and placements)
    • Works as it should but not as well as I thought
    • I highly recommend this antenna as it picks up signals better than any indoor outdoor antenna I've ever owned
    • The result did not disappoint as I got the vast majority of stations I was hoping to get.
    • We cannot get line of sight from our home, but the antenna is mounted rooftop as well as we can position it.
    • It works exactly as it says it
