I am currently receiving signals from towers that are 60 miles away. Distance and quality of reception depend partially on possible obstructions between the tower and your location, and whether you have the antenna mounted indoors or outdoors.
No. Not at all. Your question indicates a basic lack of understanding about the Internet and television that is beyond our ability to rectify. You should have a conversation with a technologically savvy family member.
No, the antenna will give you local channels (i.e. ABC,NBC,FOX etc) and is completely seperate from the Internet connection needed for a firestick to run apps like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime etc.
Try to get the antenna as high off the roof as possible at the peak. Usually 5 feet or more. An attic install with a metal roof is highly unlikely to produce acceptable results. Thanks!
I have this unit in my attic - the cable run is about 125 ft to my hub. I am within 40 miles of Charlotte and get 34 channels in High Def. This is a great antenna
It depends. Check the location of the TV towers from your apartment. If you can mount your antenna up high somewhere in your apartment and facing in the direction of the towers, it might work.

Probably not. I tried it on the second floor at a range of 50 miles. Indoors I got two of the four networks clearly but outside is much better and I get all four. Of course every person's reception will vary. I will say that this antenna was much better than the other antenna brand I tried.
On the Clearstream 2-V element base there are three holes. One is for #12 on the quick start guide, 3 1/2" Bolt that secures the mounting hardware through the reflector and then element base, then the elemnent. #12 on the quick start guide is the 1/5/8" threaded bolt that will secure the mounting hardware through the reflector then the element base. And thirdly the large unthreaded hole is used for the coaxial cable. If you have any further questions please contact our tech support team @877-825-5572.
Definitely needs to be ON the roof. Install kit comes with seals for the mounting bolts. Our roof is metal also. That is where our problems have been all along. The antenna has to be free and clear of that interference of the metal roof; inside the attic won't do that for you.
i first install in my attic with radiant barrier and that is just foil and yes it would not pick as many channels as when i moved it outside. huge difference
We have a metal roof also. The previous antennas we had were inside and we only had trouble. This one is mounted on top of the metal roof, not recommended for the attic. We've had great success following those suggestions.
It will definitely impact the signal that you pick up you should really opt for mounting it under a soffit, if not a higher location. The higher the better.
Ours is not quite that old but it is an old analog set & the antenae works great but only if you have a digital/analog converter box in addition to the antenae
