The Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V indoor / outdoor HDTV antenna uses two of our patented loops to receive TV signals 60+ miles from broadcast towers. Engineered in the USA with multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF elements and a wide 70-degree beam angle so you reliably receive more channels even if local towers are spread out. Reflector adds forward gain and focuses the antenna’s power to protect incoming TV signal from interference that causes pixelation or a complete loss of picture. Ideal for suburban and rural areas where heavy foliage or roofing materials between your antenna and the TV towers can interfere with reception. Premium materials and design and 20" mast with pivoting base mean this antenna can be installed indoors, in an attic, or outdoors, on vertical or horizontal surfaces. Coaxial cable sold separately. If you had cable or satellite installed before, the coaxial cable needed to distribute signal throughout your home may already be installed – simply connect the ClearStream 2V to the existing coaxial cable and you’ve got free local TV in crystal-clear HD straight from the networks. Find your TV channels and towers on our website or using our free Antenna Point app on android or iOS devices.

Title: Easy Installation - Pulls in All Local Area Channels
Review: In my quest to cut the satellite cable, I subscribed to a streaming service (YouTube TV) and decided to add this as a backup in case of Internet loss. I live about 15 miles downrange from the cluster of TV transmitters in Jacksonville, FL, so this 2V antenna had the range I needed.Assembly was simple. Antennas Direct has a video for this specific model that's helpful, but the enclosed directions are easy to follow and assembly took just a few minutes. The antenna comes with a mast, but I decided to purchase a separate 75 cm. mast, also from Antennas Direct, as I was uncertain about roof clearance. My plan was to install this at the same place where the satellite dish had been mounted, but even with the taller mast, I was shy of a clear shot to the transmitter region over the roof peak. I ended up placing this on my roof on the opposite side of the house, but this meant a longer cable run. I will add a 4-port powered distribution amp (also from Antennas Direct) later this week to compensate for the longer run and multiple outputs.The antenna is currently connected to a TV on the opposite end of the house, but even with the long cable run and no amp, the signal is excellent. I'm currently pulling in a strong signal on over 40 digital channels, and the HD quality of the main broadcast networks (CBS, ABC, etc) is superb. When I tested the antenna in the old dish location, with the roof peak in the way, I still managed to pull a great signal from about 33 channels, so moving it helped a lot.This is a great unit, excellent value and construction, with an easy assembly and installation. Eliminating my satellite bill ($170 per month) and having a great backup for the streaming service makes this a no-brainer for cord cutters.Update: photo updated.Update After adding an Antennas Direct 4-port amplifier/distribution box at the end of the antenna's cable run (at the location of the termination of the house cables), I am not pulling in about 65 local channels and sub-channels. Even with the extended cable run from this 2V antenna, the signals are strong and the picture images are clear and sharp with no pixelation. Easy installation and great performance, highly recommended.

Title: YES it works great.
Review: I definitely recommend this product. Assembly was easy (as long as you have the video) and installation was pretty simple too. But that isn't why I give it such a good rating. I tried two places in my house and nothing happened. (I live in the city in a house made with brick and plaster.) So I attached it on the front porch roof to my old directv dish's stand and it picked up 108 channels! (I started out with 57) What is more amazing is that the antennae does not have a direct line of sight! Check out the Antennae Man on You tube. He is the GOAT!

Title: Works Pretty Well in a Brick Apartment Building
Review: I'm located in a second-floor, brick apartment building, a little less than 25 miles southwest of Chicago. In regards to aiming the antenna, my apartment has no window that faces Chicago's broadcast towers, and my apartment is at the back of the building, with one other apartment between me and the towers.After opening the box and checking the contents, it was pretty easy to see that I'd received an antenna that was not brand new. The Loop Element Base had been re-mounted incorrectly on the Reflector. The screws that held it in place were covered with scratches, as if someone had used a steak knife instead of a Phillips screwdriver to tighten them.The four Roof Sealing Pads (used in mounting the J Mount Mast to a roof) were completely fused together into a useless clump. It appeared as though they had been melted together. They were fused into such a sticky mess that I couldn't even remove them from their plastic packaging (the whole mess was stuck to the inside of the bag). As this is Chicago, and it's mid-winter, it's very unlikely that this fusion happened at my end. Fortunately, I am using this antenna indoors, so the Sealing Pads are not needed.Assembly of the antenna was pretty easy and straightforward using the instruction sheet, once I'd re-positioned the Loop Element Base. The only issue I had was attaching the J Mount Mast for use indoors. The only instructions given are for mounting the antenna outdoors, on a roof. Anyone using the antenna indoors (like in an apartment) is strictly on their own. If you attach the mount as instructed for outdoor use, you will have an unstable installation that tips over.The base of the mount is very small. Its J shape causes the setup to be unbalanced if you try to stand it up using the supplied Mount Base, without bolting the base into something. Not a good solution for an apartment dweller. After some thought, I decided to mount the mast upside-down, with the J at the top (almost like an extended handle). That's working fine for me now, although it's still not the most stable setup. If I have any issues with toppling over, I may consider buying a broader piece of wood and screw the Mount Base onto that.After assembling the antenna and attaching the coax (not supplied) between the antenna and my iMac, I attempted to scan for channels using Elgato's EyeTV. Many attempts at scanning gave no results.Antennas Direct strongly indicates that they want you to call their Helpline before considering returning their product. They do this by putting the message, "Call To Learn. Don't Return." on several parts of the packaging: 1) on the outside of the box, there's a sticker with that message, 2) that same sticker is on the plastic bag that holds the Loop Element, 3) there's a singe-page insert included in the box that shows a big, red STOP sign and the message, "Do NOT return to store", and 4) 50% of the backside of the instructions sheet has the "Call To Learn. Don't Return." message printed with instructions for how to contact the Helpline.I called the Helpline when I was having trouble scanning. I spoke with a very disinterested woman who told me she knew nothing about EyeTV and could not help. She asked me if I could face the antenna towards a window. When I explained my apartment setup, she said that I would definitely not be able to get a signal. At that point I asked, "I should return the antenna, then?" and she was very quick to agree. The whole call took less than 5 minutes.I packaged up the antenna and requested a return from Amazon, then did a little bit of googling to look for another antenna. During that search, I found a message board entry from someone who had a similar problem to mine regarding EyeTV and scanning. He noted that he'd had to use EyeTV's "Manually Add Channel..." feature in order to get all of his channel listings.I unpacked, re-assembled, and re-connected the antenna. Sure enough, by manually adding channels, I had excellent reception on all available OTA channels with the exception of CBS 2.1 (the only VHF channel in Chicago - most Chicago area folks have trouble getting CBS via OTA signal, so I didn't fault the antenna for this in my star rating).Like an idiot, I called the Antennas Direct Helpline again to see if I could get some advice on picking up CBS. This time I spoke with a man who was as equally disinterested in my success as the first woman. He recommended I buy and FM Trap and attach it to the antenna. When I asked for instruction regarding how to attach an FM Trap to my Clearstream antenna, he said, "Put it between the antenna and the coax cable." When I asked for more specifics regarding how to do that, (i.e. at the antenna end, or the computer end?), he suggested that I buy the trap from Radio Shack and that someone at Radio Shack would be able to give me instructions. Again, the call lasted less than 5 minutes and I got bad advice from a disinterested "antenna specialist" (so-named by Antennas Direct). I did not buy an FM Trap, BTW...ADDITIONAL SIDENOTE: Although it can take nearly 24 hours to SHIP a product, returns are processed almost immediately and are completely IMPOSSIBLE to cancel through Amazon or UPS. (Again, this did not effect my star rating of the antenna.)I gave the Antennas Direct C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna with 20-Inch Mount 4 stars because I definitely "like" it. I get great reception most of the time (weather and time of day have an effect, but that's not the antenna's fault). I dropped a star due to the lack of instructions and appropriate mast/mounting for indoor use, the condition of the product as sent from Antennas Direct, and the really, *really* poor service from the Helpline that Antennas Direct bends over backwards to *insist* that you use.

Title:
Review: 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.

Review: Agarra muchos mas canales y no hay interferencia a comparacion de mi antena que es una antena de poste afuera en intemperie en una casa de dos pisos, esta la puse adentro junto al televisor y no tuve ningun problema ni en instalar ni en usarla, que completamente contento con esta antena. Los canales se ven casi como si los estuviera haciendo stream desde internet. Imagino si la hubiera puesto afuera seria mucho mejor, pero como ya tengo experiencia con antenas de fuera que se dañan por los elementos pues decidi dejarla adentro

Review: The ClearStream 2V was an Amazon Warehouse deal and showed minimal signs of having been previously installed and uninstalled. All the parts were included. It works well in the UHF and high VHF frequencies. It is mounted outside on the J mount where my satellite dish used to sit and uses the coax cable the satellite dish used to use. I roughly pointed it in the direction of the local transmission towers, which are only 12 km away. Success on the first try.
