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

This antenna worked great for my location, and I was able to pick up 70 channels. I was able to mount in my attic and pick up the expected stations. In my area, the UHF channels are primarily in single direction, while the VHF stations are spread out. I was also lucky that the stations are located so I can point out the side of my house instead of through the roof. Rather than mounting the VHF antenna on the grid, I used some spare PVC pipe and zip ties to point it in a direction that worked best for the VHF stations. As you can see in the photo, I mounted the antenna upside down to get the more length out of the included coax between the the UHF and VHF antennas (I would not do this outside). All that said, this may not work in your situation. First check on the rabbitears.info website to see what stations and what power levels you have at your location. As noted, most of the UHF transmitters are in the same direction about 35 miles away, so it worked really well for me. The major stations have very strong signal strength/quality according to my TV tuner, and I do not see any drop outs. The website tells you the signal margin for the stations -- the lower the number, the less likely you are to pick it up. The lowest power station I picked up was 5dB signal margin, with the antenna pointed at it. There was another station listed in the same direction with the same signal margin, but I could not pick it up -- the rabbitears site, may be slightly out of date (but not as bad as TVfool). I may have been able to do better with a roof mount. If your area has poor signal margin and stations spread out in multiple directions, this may not be for you. If the signal margin is good, then you can use the direction on the website to help point the antenna towards the transmitters. (Note: I was looking at TVFool, but as of Sept 2022, the information in my area is out of date, with many stations listed on the wrong RF channel). With the stations, you'll want to note the difference between VHF (RF channel 2-13) and UHF (RF channel 14+), and the difference between RF channel (what the frequency the channel actually on) and display channel (what shows up on your TV). Your local NBC 8, might really be transmitting on RF channel 25. This is important for pointing your antennas and figuring out if this will work for you. The UHF channels use the round antennas with the grid, and the VHF antenna is the separate part with two horizontal elements. You can attach the VHF antenna to the grid behind the UHF antennas, or you can mount in separately. The VHF antenna will give the best reception perpendicular to the elements (both in front and out back). Depending on your location, you may need to point it between two transmitters to pick up both, or you may only be able to pick up one or the other. As far as stations go, you'll see a lot of reviews of people who get dozens of channels -- I picked up 70. However, you'll want to be realistic about what you are really getting. The major networks will typically transmit in HD and may look even better than the compressed version you get on cable. They will also have some extra sub-channels that are in standard definition. These can be hit or miss. Some of them look pretty good/sharp, while others are overly compressed and look like a blurry old VHS tape. This is on the TV station, not the transmitter -- with digital TV you either pick up the station or you don't (with a small part in between where it is blocky/jumpy). Beyond quality, there is content. Out of the 70 stations I pick up, many of them don't interest me personally -- I don't watch the 5 shopping channels I pick up. I also have several duplicate sub-channels, so those don't really count. So if you are thinking about cutting the cable cord, take a look through the websites of the channels you are likely to pick up and see if they are really of interest. You might really be left with PBS (plus a couple of subchannels), the major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX), then a bunch of things you may or may not watch depending on interest (ION, CW, ME-TV, GRIT, Bounce, Defy, COMET, LAFF, QVC, HSN).

Small compact and very powerful antenna.To me best what you can buy today.Living in apartment i can install easy on my balcony even i do not have line of site the signal strength is 75% and the signal quality is 100%.From Toronto Canada i can get 28 station from Buffalo and all the Canadian network

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.

Works better than expected. Installed 30 KM north of Kingston Ontario and we get 10 crystal clear Digital channels and nearest tower is at least 60 KM away, most are over 100 KM, but we get mostly US channels. Have it outside on about a 30 ft. tower. For best results use a single cable directly to TV, don't try splitting to other TV's. Its been up about 6 months now and survived some pretty strong winds.

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!
