Antennas Item ID: #157Item DescriptionClearStream antennas represent a breakthrough in size and unmatched ultra efficient design and directionality. Advanced design software allows these 20″ x 28″ antennas to be smaller and powerful across the core UHF DTV spectrum offering consistent high gain. This advancement in antenna efficiency allows up to 98% of the available broadcast signal to actually reach the incoming antenna cable rather than being lost to impedance mismatches. The ClearStream4 quad-loop design receives all core DTV channels available with a range up to 65 +miles. There is also additional capability on higher level VHF frequencies. They are engineered for extra strength and durability, using anodized aluminum for corrosion resistance and are easy to assemble. Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought

Bought this for my boat, put it inside a fiberglass shroud and the reception is amazing. When swinging at anchor, reception is nearly flawless regardless of antenna direction. Receiving 13 stations with perfect reception, no booster, with the transmitters around 20 miles away.
I purchased this antenna because I wanted to pick up stations that are 50 to 60 miles distant. So many others have commented on the difficult assembly. The manual is awkwardly diagrammed. So, I read the assembly instructions, and noted that there is an easier way to insert the long center bolts first. From there everything was incredibly simple.
I then wanted to break another rule. I wanted to first try this antenna in my attic. Just to eliminate the hassle of maintaining an outdoor weather, exposed antenna and mast. Knowing that I could loose 35 to 45% of signal, I set up the antenna with a preamp in the attic.
The pictures are drop dead gorgeous. The signal strength is near perfection. In my opinion, if you can get over the initial assembly bump, this product gives outstanding value.
I bought this antenna to bring in local HD channels at my beach house in Mississippi. It worked so well I ordered a second one for my Indiana home. It worked so well, my friend had me order one for him. It is easy to assemble, but does take some time, trial and error, and two people(one at the TV and one outside) to get it positioned right. I put a rotor on mine so I can change positions from my lounge chair. It brings in stations that are about 60 miles away. The seller is reliable and I would buy from him again- it took about a week to get the item.
Cannot get a signal with antenna. Tried to contact manufacturer via email twice. No response. Assembly instructions terrible. Don’t waste your money. Obtained better signal with Winegard SS-3000 Amplified Indoor UHF/VHF Antenna at less than half the price.
It’s really a bit premature because we haven’t totally hooked it up, but the first experiment showed amazing potential. We have a metal roof and we stuck the antenna on a 6-foot ladder and picked up almost all of the local HD stations with a beautiful picture. It may not be quite as snazzy as Direct TV’s HD Theater, but the one time cost compared to the monthly scalping makes it totally worth it! And fewer channels means less temptation to watch mindless drivel…we may yet get our minds back! I’ll be interested to see the results when we have it properly mounted above the roof line. Very pleasantly surprised…
