Clear stream v2

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017

I have tried many antennas. The one ive been using for couple yrs now-esky 997- got beat up pretty bad in recent hail storms. Ive put it back together a couple times but its HUGE and hard for me- 60 year old woman to handle. Also it was a bitch to put together in the first place. So i decided to try clear stream which had raving reviews. I have to say i was amazed it only had like two parts to screw in and it was ready to connect to line. I did purchase a new heavy duty amazon basic cable and its the best ive ever had. I do not have an amplifier on it and it instantly picked up more channels than the esky dinosaur did! Crystal clear too. Im in north Al about 53 miles from Birmingham where most signals come from. To say im pleased is an understatement lol. It was sooo easy to put together. I clamped it to a 10 ft metal conduit pole i bought at hardware store for less than $5, then stood pole up, strip tied to fence post. Theres lots of trees blocking but clear stream just picked signals right out of the sky like magic. If you want easy install, great signal , clear stream v2 is the one. There are a few channels out of my reach id love to have so ill be buying the amplifier soon. As of now i have 35 crystal clear. But metv has that high vhf that needs an amplifier (i read that in sev reviews with same prob) Im VERY happy with clear stream v2!!!

Not great for urban areas.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2017

Living in a large metro area, I'm only 7 miles from the transmission towers of most of the main tv stations. As a result, using a flat "leaf" type antenna, i'm able to pull in a good signal from almost all tv stations. The two still broadcasting on VHF band can have occasional interference in some cases, but its rare. For some reason, the local Fox station, broadcasting in UHF has signal oscillation where I live. Its very strong 90% of the time, but every few second, it drops out. Very annoying. Likevthe tv version of hiccups.

So I thought, something more substantial may rectify my issue.Tried this antenna, indoors, facing the same outside wall as my leaf antenna. My condo HOA would frown upon an outdoor installation, and truth be told, if my neighbors started installing satellite dishes all over the roof, I would be first to complain, so inside was the only option. In my scenario, the leaf inexpensive leaf type antenna is a much better performer. Not only did the hiccups get worse with this thing, but some of the other stations, that are rock solid with the old antenna, were funky with this one.

Its well built, compact, attractive and I'm certain in the right scenario, outdoors 30 to 60 miles from the towers, it may excell. In the city, it dissapoints

GREAT ANTENNA. GREATER WITH AMPLIFIER

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2017

Style: 60 MilesVerified Purchase

Awesome antenna. I have it aimed East toward Mobile, Al. in front of my house Instead of pointing it North towards the local transmitters that are 18-24 miles away and even they come in Great. It does well for VHF and UHF channels. I live in Gulfport Ms. and I pick up 13 channels fatefully during the day and every night after 8pm I pick up 30 to 45 channels after scanning it again from channels in Mobile Alabama/Pensacola, Fl. ranging from 70-90 miles away such as: wear3, wkrg5, wala10, wpmi 15, wmpv21, whbr33, wfgx35, weiq42, wjtc44, wfna55. Eventhough it is not aiming in New Orleans direction it even picked up WWL 4, wvue8, wgno26, WUPL 54, and Hattiesburg whlt22. It's well worth the money. I Will get another of these antennas in the backyard to aim southwest toward New Orleans, La. soon. As of 7/27/17, I have now scanned 52 channels.

UPDATE 10/6/2017: Got a second one to Put in the backyard Aiming towards New Orleans which is west of my house. It picks up the locals despite not aiming it north where the local channel transmitters are at. Wvue8, wgno26 is 63 miles away & wwl 4 is 68 Miles and I get those 3 with clarity without a preamp but they go in and out between 11am-5pm. Others like wupl54, wdsu6, whno20, wnol38 also comes in sometimes when I rescan it at night . Despite aiming it towards New Orleans, Mobile/Pensacola channels come in also such as wkrg5, wear3, wmpv21, wala10/vhf

9-19-18: 41 channels aimed southwest toward New Orleans, 31 channels aimed toward Mobile. Channels stay in day, evening, and night.

CUT THE CORD with this Antenna. Much better reception using as an External/Outside device.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018

Style: 60 MilesVerified Purchase

We Cut The Cord!!! We needed an Antenna to pull in the local stations since we cut the cord. We are now using Free Local TV and a $25 per month Streaming Service. We are saving close to $100 per month.
We did a bunch of research and this was one of the Antennas that came highly recommended. It was very easy to assemble and feels well built. We could not get Good reception having it inside of the house and it is quite large to be sitting in your living room. We opted to install it outside and it works great for us. Of course it will depend on your area and line of site. The mounting hardware was also included. I like that it also has the Antennas on top for more signal strength. It's Not the best but for the price it is definitely a good buy. Just make sure that it will work in your particular area.

Works great

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017

Big improvement, brings in all the local channels. Previously, I was using a flat-style antenna. I replaced it with this Clearstream 2V and it doubled the number of channels I received. I live about 25 miles from the nearest station, and I wasn't sure whether to buy this or the 4V model. The 2V was more than adequate for me, and buying a refurbished one was much cheaper than a 4V. It was simple to put together and install. The included mount works well and it was easy to install by myself. I installed this in my attic (indoors) and pointed it out a window towards the stations.

The only possible downside is the VHF performance. The max gain of the 2V is listed as 10.4dBi UHF and 3.1dBi VHF, but it was enough to get a pesky high-VHF channel that I couldn't receive previously.

Easy to assemble

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017

Style: 60 MilesVerified Purchase

Easy to assemble, and includes all the components to mount it on a flat or vertical surface.

I wanted to get a DTV channel from 65 miles away, on the other side of a vast metropolis, and while this improved the reception remarkably for all the closer channels compared to a simpler indoor antenna, I still couldn't get that one. From what I'm reading, I'll have to mount the antenna even higher to improve the possibility of getting it.

The improvement over an indoor wall-mounted antenna was that I got about 180 channels instead of about 150 (metro Los Angeles), and reception was better on many of them. The indoor antenna was about 10 feet off the ground, and this mounted outdoors is about 18 feet up.

Just received this antenna today. Was excited to set it all up. But haven't had any great results. Have put it a few places around our spare room, and just outside our window. With only 5 channels coming in. 2 ABC and 3 spanish channels. I got the same with the cheap $20 antenna. I thought it would be a lot stronger without having to place it on the roof. Not something I wanted to do since it was just for the spare room.

Great antenna with awesome reception

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2022

I installed this 4 years ago and it's held true through 90+mph winds in Iowa getting channels from 2 Metro areas despite being pointed toward only 1. I would definitely recommend this as it picks up so many stations (CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC, PBS, etc) along with a bunch of random ones (think excess cable stations).

Wow I get a lot of channels!

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2022

Style: 60 MilesVerified Purchase

I have been using this for years now - yes this is a late review. Without it I have to pay for cable TV and when I thought of all the money I've spent over the years I decide no more! I got this one because a neighbor had it and got a bunch of channels. Right now I'm getting 56 channels over the air with this antenna. That's 56 absolutely free channels. The only thing I don't like is that I intended to use it inside the house hung on the wall near the tv like my neighbor, but it has to be in front of a window on my house because I have aluminum siding. Maybe one of these days I'll have it installed outside.

Clear Strong signal.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018

When I dropped my satellite service I initially went with the indoor flat style antennas but their range is limited and depending on how many walls the signal must travel through to get to your antenna, you can end up getting a different number of channels on each TV in the house. Not to mention they are kind of an eyesore.
When I saw this, I realized I could mount it in the exact same location that I had the satellite dish and piggyback of the coax wiring that is already in place. If you are going to do this, make sure to inspect the coaxial cable to make sure they are not frayed because I had one wire that was and had trouble getting some channels on the TV attached to that wire. As a temporary fix, I covered the frayed area with electrical tape, that seems to have worked for now & I can run new cable later.
Switching to this antenna has given me additional channels that I did not have with the indoor antennas, none of them are any good but they are there.
