Antennas Direct ClearStream 4MAX® Indoor/Outdoor Multi-Directional TV Antenna with 70+ Mile Range, UHD 4K, NEXTGEN TV, 20-In. Mast in Black

I also have a MOHU Leaf ant. and got the 4Max for further/weaker channels. My location is 12 mi. SW of Baltimore; 18 mi. NW of Annapolis; and 24 mi. NE of DC. I used https://www.rabbitears.info/searchmap.php. If you enter my 21045 Zip Code and 25-ft antenna hgt. you will get station/channel distance & signal strength. I'm located on a 20 degree slope, so the 25 ft. height is below the horizon facing Balto. and above facing DC. Pairing the 4Max with an ant. amplifier/5G filter, with inside window placement facing NW gave me ~153 of the GOOD signal strength channels/sub-channels. FAIR channels had chronic drop-outs and POOR channels had no pick-up. Considering all of the parameters from an RF electronics view, this is impressive. To make ant. placement and angle positioning quicker, I used a cheap Homeworx HW135STB tuner (other brands are available, but I read about this one for this specific use). It provides real-time signal strength of each channel, instead of waiting for a channel re-scan after each ant. re-position--a great time saver. The 4Max makes a very good indoor antenna; it's performance would be even better if roof-mounted. I've seen ants. advertised with+1k mi. ranges. This is false due to earth curvature; 70 mi. is the range limit of any ant. with or w/o amplifier; baring atmospheric anomalies..

I ordered the ClearStream 4MAX antenna because I'd read some good reviews about it. Additionally, it was about $40 cheaper than buying at the local electronics store. It came within a timely manner, as promised. It is lightweight and was easy to assemble in the house. I placed mine in a nice open space in the attic of my home and was able to point it in the direction of several TV antennas here in Northern Utah about, about 38 miles away. Bingo! The number of channels I received over the air, when from about 65 to over 100! All the HD channels came over in high quality, as expected. No muss, no fuss. I would highly recommend this antenna to anyone wanting to be satisfied with over-the-air stations only. I had read some negative reviews from others here but figure they must have been inept at assembly and installation. How tough can it be? But then, there are some folks that are pretty critical of everything. Thanks for the great product!

Overall, a good UHF antenna. High-vHF reception is marginal to poor. Most markets have most channels on the UHF band nowadays so may be fine for most people. Check what bands your local broadcast stations transmit on and if the channels you want to watch are on UHF, this is a great antenna. Pros: 1. Small profile - I have it installed in a tight space in the attic. Will be less obtrusive outdoors than other, bigger antennas. 2. Good UHF performance (peak gain of 11dBI, while not the best is very good to excellent for its size) 3. Easy to assemble - took all of 5 minutes. 4. Wide reception angle - if you have multiple transmitters with signals coming from different directions, this antenna will capture them. Not if they are 90 degrees apart like in my case but a reasonable angle in the forward and backward facing directions. 5. Good build quality. This should last a long time. Cons: 1. Poor hi-VHF performance (2.5 dBi peak gain will mean poor performance unless you are close to a high powered transmitter, also poor performance on rainy, windy days). If your market has high-VHF channels you want to watch, you might have to combine two antennas or consider a different one 2. For its price, it should include a good pre-amp. Antennas from anther excellent antenna company from Europe have their excellent pre-amp built into it. Antennas direct sells antennas with a separate pre-amp bundled with it, but the pre-amp is junk. Inexplicable why Antennas Direct would sell it.

I cut the cord more than 10 years ago. I’ve used a number on antennas in my attic due to the neighborhood restrictions. My search has ended, the Clearstream 4 Max is the best of the bunch. I live between Mobile, AL and New Orleans, LA and place 2 in my attic. I now receive 75 DTV channels over the air. The antenna is easy to assemble, it is light and easy to install

got the max and installed on the roof 25 ft off the ground. Was real surprised to have such clear sharp pictures. on all local channels( being 56 miles from most of the local towers) and was surprised to have all the others unexpected stations to come in so clearly

Antenna is easy to assemble. Fit is good. Stuck it in the attic without any real effort. Connected to RG-6 quad shield I already had up there and I get all the available local channels. Clearly and reliably.

I bought this to replace a large antenna on the roof that was damaged by a hurricane. I wasn't sure something this small could fill the bill but to my surprise it did so and installing it was a breeze. Some assembly was required but it was well documented and easy to do. My towers were located in the 30 to 45 mile range which is well within the range of this unit. I was able to pick up 51 stations all with fair to good reception. I did not mount this on the roof like the antenna it replaced I am getting to old for that stuff but the results are more than enough for me. I would definitely recommend this unit.

The antenna was easy to put together, and pretty straightforward installing on an existing mast on my roof once I figured out what connectors to use. I tried orienting the antenna in two different directions based on the transmitter locations listed on the Antennasdirect.com website, and left it oriented such that I get 58 crystal clear channels, most from 70 miles away (I live in Northern California about 70 miles from Sacramento). Extremely pleased with the performance of this antenna. I have it mounted to a mast connected to one of my solar panel frames. The new ClearStream replaced a 12 year old Winegard Omnidirectional TV Antenna that just got old.

I was very disappointed with the performance of this antenna, it looked very promising at first except it didn’t pick up Kttc nbc which was about 30 miles away and was on vhf 10 yet it was really glitchy cutting in and out even though I thought this antenna would have no trouble picking it up. It unfortunately did not. I’d like to return this antenna asap

Great antenna I get 51 digital channels with it in my Metro area!

Easy to install. We got really good reception first couple weeks but now we lose more channels every week. Can't even count on local channels because we never get the same thing on consecutive days.

Installed antenna on the roof, went from 12 channels to 40

This antenna is no better than the cheap ones I've purchased from what i can tell it does not pick up in multiple directions. So not worth the money.

Simply blown away!!!! Bought the C4MVJ 3 years ago when considering chucking Directv. Tested it on a Samsung tv, got 5 channels. Not impressed. Considered returning it, but boxed it up and kept it, and kept Directv. Well, directv has crossed my red line, so I put the antenna back together and set it up right on the tv cabinet in the living room, BUT this time connected to an LG tv. Without any attempt at aiming, we are pulling in nearly 200 channels. Excellent reception, crystal clear picture quality, except on channels of lower broadcast resolution, such as the Red Green channel. Clarity is equal to directv. We’re getting Chinese, Korean, Canadian, even an Indian channel. US channels from New York to LosAngeles. Amusingly, my biggest concern right now is finding or compiling a list of all the available channels!! During some cursory internet reading, I noticed a couple comments that this antenna seemed to work best with LG TVs, and I do indeed concur. I’m not even going to attempt putting it in the attic or on a pole. And I’m probably going to swap out that 7 year old Samsung in the back room for a new LG, and buy another of these antennas to put on the window sill next to it. My wife is thrilled. She has her box from Italk BB that gets all her live Korean channels, and now she still has everything directv gave us, and so much more. Thank you Antennas Direct. You have solved a gnarly issue that’s plagued us for years!!!! My only wish is that all TVs worked with it as well as the LG brand. But, you can’t have it all, I guess. 10 stars!!!! 😀😀

Antenna arrived quickly after purchase. Easy to assemble and install in the attic. I’m extremely impressed with what I’m able to pull in (83 channels). I live near Knoxville, TN and I’m getting all the local channels (some I never got with my previous antenna) plus stations as far away as Kingsport/Johnson City, TN and (most impressively) Asheville, NC and Grundy, VA. I can definitely recommend this antenna! There are many great networks available over the air. I particularly love the ones showing TV programs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s like MeTV, Rewind, Antenna TV, Get TV, Cozi, Heroes & Icons, and Catchy Comedy.

I'm in an apartment building on a middle floor, less than 15 miles from the towers, in a sunken corner of a hill. I have a wall of trees and houses directly in the path of most the towers and the others are 60 degrees in another direction, so I have to try and work with signal reflection from the houses. I bought this to cleanup my previous setup of two small indoor amplified antennas coupled together. On its own the antenna does a really good job picking up channels. The antenna alone gave me 6 DIGITAL channels out of a possible 15. I think that's pretty impressive for my line-of-sight challenges. On its own the antenna was a downgrade to my previous setup. I added a reflector kit and a Juice amp, and now I get 14 of the 15 channels out of the 15 channels within range.

A wind storm broke up my 35 year old big bulky aluminum antenna that was mounted on a pole 6 feet above my roof line. The old antenna was about 5 feet long but this little antenna in which I mounted on the same pole picks up more stations than the old antenna. I live in the country about 60 miles west of Chicago so this antenna does live up to it's claim of 70 miles. The only reason for one point less than perfect is that it was unable to pick up the dreaded CBS channel that my old antenna struggled with as well.

Live within 35-40 miles of the towers with some terrain and building interference. Installed in my garage attic so the antenna is approximately 15’ above ground. 75’ of coax run to TV. Get excellent reception on all locally available channels. Very happy with the performance. Assembly was easy and the antenna is well made.

Great products from Antennas Direct. I have 2 of their antennas, 4Max for the house and a 1Max for our shop behind the house. 45 plus channels coming in very clear. I chose to put them in the attics. While the install may not be super "pretty" it works very well.

I removed my direct TV dish and replaced it clear stream max I got 110 channels was be able to wash Daytona race I will recommend it
