Any antenna advertising more than 75mi range is exaggerating since the curvature of the Earth prevents longer transmission without repeaters. Anyway, I originally planned to install this in the attic but decided to install in the top corner of my roof due to easier cable pathway and of course almost direct line of sight without obstructions. The install went smoothly and I also attached a 4G/LTE and 5G RF filter right at the antenna to reduce interference. A previous indoor window UHF antenna was only able to receive about 20 channels but this one got over 206 and gets both VHF and UHF. Of course most channels are useless but the ones I wanted come in super strong even after an 8-way splitter. The RG6 Coax cable from the antenna is 65ft long but did not seem to cause any issues. As I mentioned an 8-way splitter/filter was at the end of the 65ft run and from there I commented several 50-70ft RG6 cables that go to a couple of TV’s and two very short 3ft RG6 cables connecting two Gen4 TABLO units. The TV’s all get perfectly strong signal and over 200 channels along with the TABLO units. Sadly the TABLO units have a DHCP bug that causes the Ethernet to disconnect and the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge or fix, but even so that’s no impact to the antenna. If you need a well-built long-range antenna this one may work very well for you even if using long cables and will require no amplification.

I installed this in Flagstaff, AZ where TV signals come from Prescott, AZ which is about 60 miles away. I tried one of those flat antennas that you put on a window and I'd occasionally get a decent picture but usually got a lot of pixelation.This was fairly easy to assemble. I have it in an attic attached to a Tablo. At first I was a bit disappointed. It was certainly better than the flat antenna but I still got more distortion that I like. But, I then connected an Antennas Direct Clearstream Juice preamp. That gave me a few more channels than just using the antenna but the big difference was the signal quality.I get close to 50 channels but probably only watch 5 or 6. On those, the picture is usually good but I do have some hiccups now and then and that seems to come and go depending on the day. I can live with it and it's nice not paying for cable or a streaming service like youtube tv.

Fait ce que c'est censé faire, fil assez long, facile d'utilisation

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.

After experiencing frustration with three different $40 antennas and their accompanying amplifiers—particularly when the amplifiers failed, and replacements weren’t available separately—I decided to invest in the Antennas Direct ClearStream 4V Indoor/Outdoor TV Antenna paired with the CIMPLE CO Antenna Amplifier.Living 57 miles from the broadcast stations, I was initially receiving only 25 channels.Upon installing the ClearStream 4V antenna in my attic, I immediately noticed a significant improvement in reception quality.The antenna’s multi-directional design and 70-mile range effectively captured signals from various directions, resulting in clearer picture quality and vibrant colors. Adding the CIMPLE CO Antenna Amplifier further enhanced the performance. This adjustable gain amplifier, supporting up to 24 dB, boosted the signal strength, allowing me to access a total of 95 channels—a substantial increase from my previous setup.The amplifier’s compatibility with UHF, VHF, FM, broadband, and digital broadcast signals ensured a versatile and reliable enhancement to my viewing experience.Installation was straightforward, thanks to the quality materials and design of both products.The ClearStream 4V antenna was easy to assemble and set up, with some users noting it took about an hour to put together.The CIMPLE CO amplifier’s compact size and weight made it simple to install in the attic without any issues.Overall, I am very pleased with this setup

For the price that I paid for the 50 mile indoor version, I got 21 channels by just placing it in a random place in the middle of the house and not testing different positions for better reception. Out of those 21 channels, about 15 of them come in good which is fine and could be fixed with more effort on my part. My area is a little tricky since my towers are so far away in multiple directions. The drawback to this particular version with the external amplifier is the amplifier uses it's own power source, meaning it takes up space in my power bar. (The usb slot in my particular TV occupies our Roku) As as a gamer family with multiple game consoles we have to sacrifice a plug for it. Definately not a deal breaker but it's a bit of an inconvenience. I might invest in a more powerful one down the line if this one is any indication of good quality.

We're in Montreal and we're picking up stations from Burlington Vermont. We installed it on the roof of our three story building. It was pretty easy to assemble and install. It's sturdy and we're getting crystal clear signals, both from the nearby VHF and the distant UHF. We went from about 7 channels with 1 or 2 intermittent ones, to a whopping 29 channels (that's including the "sub-channels"). Very happy with the purchase so far. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up in the Montreal winter.

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).

I paired this with the Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT and was able to pull in channels from as far away as Buffalo. I live pretty far from the CN Tower, 43.5 km but I have everything broadcast from there. After moving the antenna outside, I was able to pick up stations from 107 km away (Fox and PBS Buffalo). I have CHCH from Hamilton as well. When I was first setting it up I was also getting the CBS affiliate as well but that disappeared, probably weather conditions or something. Quite impressive for sure either way.
