What's great about it: Comes with everything needed to install, good range (55-65 miles)
What's not so great: The price on this antenna can be a bit steep compared to other antennas
This antenna comes with everything you need to install it including its own mounting pole. I mounted this antenna in our attic (which can cut the range of an antenna by up to 50%) in about 15 minutes and just generally pointed it in the direction I needed without doing any special calculations. When I turned on the TV I had 100% reception on a lot of the channels. I live in Delaware and our local channels are from Philadelphia so we needed an antenna with a range of 45-55 miles. This antenna was perfect. We even pick up channels that we could not get before. All in true HD. The price of the antenna might seem a little steep but it is only slightly more than what some pay per month for cable.
Get HD channels for free. Our HDTV is also hooked up to a computer so when we combine this antenna with what we can watch for free online from YouTube, Hulu, MTV dot com, HistoryChannel dot com, etc we get a lot of the same shows that everyone else pays for, for free. All those other internet TV boxes still want you to pay for services like Netflix or Hulu Plus but your still paying a monthly fee for TV. Try picking up a cheap computer with wi-fi, hook it to your TV, go to your favorite channels website and watch their content online for free on your TV. Combining a computer and a good HD antenna can save you $100 a month or more on TV.
Just a helpful tip!

Review 5 for Antennas Direct ClearStream 4 Outdoor Long-Range Digital TV Antenna
dont waste your money
Customer Rating

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: everything
This is not HDTV quality. Recieves all channels but clarity is poor no better than a rabbit ear antenna. Reccomend competitors powered antenna which costs $48.00, which recieves great reception and clarity, who is well known and has been around for years since we were kids without naming names. I thought since this said it would pick up to a 50 mile range I would recieve more channels but it did not. It also cost three times the price for three times the less quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to install, good price.
What's not so great: Lacks weather proofing at the connections. May be a little bit flimsy in high wind.
After discontinuing cable and satellite service, we didn't even think about having TV...Until New Years Eve rolled around. We were having people over and had nothing for them to watch. I came to the BB website and looked at all the antennas. I knew that I would need a long range one that could pick up either San Diego or Los Angeles channels at 55+ miles. This seemed to be the antenna with the best range.
Box comes clean and neat with all the hardware you need. Unit came with it's own outdoor mounting bracket and pole. I opted to use the existing mount from the satellite dish which was larger, but still worked. This way I could be lazy and not have to drill new holes in the stucco. I originally oriented the antenna to the North since the transmitting station was closest and immediately received most of the stations that were predicted. We decided to turn to the South as we prefer San Diego Stations, plus most of the stations we received were in other languages. We received less stations but we only needed/wanted one or two, which we got.
The picture quality is PHENOMENAL! Whoever thought you could get crystal clear 1080i over-the-air? I used the existing cabling (RG-6) from the dish to our central wiring box and then plugged it into the splitter expecting a signal drop. No noticeable difference. I also hooked up my two Home Theater systems tuners and went from receiving only one local station to just about all of them in the valley. I turned on both TV's, both tuners and observed no noticeable signal loss. We watched the ball drop in full 1080i HD on NBC that evening with our friends standing in awe.
Only thing that I could see as an improvement is adding some sort of weather proofing to the RG-6 cabling at the connection. It was getting dark and I was running out of time so I wasn't able to weather proof it. Since we have 300+ days of sunshine here I figured it could go a day or two. It's been a month and it's rained a few times. Signal still seems strong.

What's great about it: Small size
What's not so great: Reception is better with a standard antenna
This replaced a 10 year old Radio Shack antenna. Reception was better with the old antenna. All channels but PBS fade in and out depending on the weather. Contacted Clear Stream and their solution was to sell me an amplifier. Due to bad weather (this is a vacation home) I was not able to get the antenna down to return it to Best Buy within 30 days so I am stuck with it.

What's great about it: HD is OK
What's not so great: NO High VGF can't get channel 10 in Pensacola area
I returned this Antenna. It gets good HD channels but in our area channel 10 needs a HIGH VGF antenna and this is only for channels sent in HD.
I went to radio shack and got one for about 79 dollars that gets high VGF and HD you also need to point the antenna in the right direction. Google TV fool or some of the others. They will tell you what direction to point your antenna. This one is fine if you don't need HIGH VGF.

What's great about it: Under $20/month alternative to cable or satellite
What's not so great: Have to run coax to TVs and need height >10 feet
The product did what was expected. I looked up TV stations in area on line and was able to orient direction to most stations (with in 50 to 70 miles). Was able to pick up about 29 channels. Height is important as well. If you can not put outside (HOA issues)...put in attic, I did and it work well.
Although about 1/2 of channels are religion and Latin, I was able to get all 3 major networks, plus Fox, CW, weather channel and several sports channels. For under $20 a month you can put together a nice on demand solution for USA, SYFY, TNT, etc programs off NETFLIX and HULU (assuming you have a broadband internet service).
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Ease of setup.
What's not so great: Everything else. Absolutely a worthless antenna.
the only time we have no difficulties is in perfect weather. If the wind is even a small breeze, the rain is falling, the sun is out of orbit or the moon draws werewolfs we lose reception on at least 2 channels. With great regularity we lose Channels 4 and 9 almost every night from about 7:30pm - 8pm on. News at 10 is a joke for us. Just shut it off, turn on the xbox and forget TV. The old (9yrs) antenna was better in its busted condition.

What's great about it: Strong, clear reception
I picked this up at my local Best Buy for $150, without being sure what to expect. We're about 50 miles north of Boston (where most of the network stations reside)... after a brief installation, I was able to mount this in my attic, aim it S/SE (heading 165) and VOILA... crystal clear picture from all 4 networks (along with a few bonus stations)! Very psyched... cut my cable bill down by $90 / month while using this antenna with my 2 HD Tivo boxes. I fully expected to have to install this on my roof, but placing it about a foot from my outside wall in the attic has done the trick. Couldn't be happier.

What's great about it: Does what I need it to do with no monthly satellite bill.
What's not so great: Fairly expensive. No cable included.
Antenna was easy to assemble. Weather boot is difficult to attach to ready made cable with connectors. Very pleased even though limited to 3 to 5 channels, but since I primarily watch CBS, this is one of two very consistent signals that are working. Sure is superior to old style outdoor antenna that might catch a signal every month or two. Note that cable is not included with the antenna.

What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: No complaints at all.
I typically don't write reviews for products, but I felt it was necessary with the ClearStream 4. This thing is AWESOME, and it far exceeded my expectations!
I couldn't get it to work at first; it only picked up 10 channels. After messing with it for an hour, I decided to call customer service. The nice lady on the other end of the line told me the exact direction to point it. I went inside and ran the autoprogram on my TV, and all of a sudden it started picking up TONS of channels. I haven't counted all of the channels, but I'm guessing we have around 55 or 60. Unbelievable!
One thing though, you may need an amplifier.

What's great about it: HD reception, no cable TV bill....no stupid cable boxes
What's not so great: Installation was easy but finding the reception sweet spot was tricky.
I bought this antenna and installed on my deck rail at my house. Worked good but not all major channels were coming it. Once I installed on my roof though and pointed it towards the Nashville skyline....I started pulling in ABC, CBS, NBS, FOX, CW, and UPX....as well as ION CHANNEL, QUBO, and ION Life. These are just the channel that I care about but there were many more (mostly religious, or shopping channels) I immediately cancelled my Cable TV and have gone over a month with absolutely no regrets! Best of all my TIVO premiere still works great with it. I am extremely pleased.
