I was amazed and gratified to find that I could STOP paying the cable bill and get just as many channels with this antenna! AND, I believe the picture quality is actually better.

I had a bit of difficulty getting started with the setup and the tech support I received from Clearstream was friendly, easy to understand and effective.

I don't as a rule, offer reviews but this prodect and Clearstream customer service was exceptional!

This antenna worked better that my expectations. The antenna is being used in Florida with most stations about 40 miles away. I have not mounted it outdoors yet, have placed it in a window facing the general direction, and was blown away with the reception. Worked great for such a small antenna.

I live in downtown Salt Lake City. All of the small antennas I used didn't work. I purchased this antenna and now I have DTV. I have it placed indoors, right above my TV. I get great DTV reception.

not as strong as I was expecting, but we do have trees near by they might be impacting signal.
The cable in between the antenna and the house was too long at first, impacting the signal strength, but after we cleared that up, we get 20+ channels. We have a few with low strength even though antennaweb.org says we should be able to get them fine. We might need to add a signal booster.

Antenna was cheaper here, but the antenna mount was one half the price plus free shipping directly from the company.

After spending two weeks experimenting with various antennas placed in various different locations I've settled on the ClearStream2. My journey went like this. First I purchased some inexpensive RCA rabbit ears on the longshot that I could get away with them. I was able to get two local stations. I returned that antenna and purchased 2 different amplified antennas, each of which brought in 5 stations. It was obvious that my location (in a heavily wooded area about 20 to 22 miles away from the local transmitters) requires a more robust solution so I next purchased the C2. I ran some coax cable into my attic - assembled the C2 and mounted it on a decent sized tripod (designed for video camera use) then spent the next two days moving it around the attic looking for that "sweet spot" where I would get the best reception. I'm now getting between 15 and 25 stations (depending on the weather) all of which come in with anywhere from 30 to 100% signal strength. Some tips for novice antenna users like myself who want/need to use this in their attic: Go to [...] and get the exact location of the transmitters in reference to your location then use a compass to aim the antenna. This will get you the best results however it's only half the battle. I found that moving the antenna just a few inches in one direction or another can result in losing or gaining 50% signal strength so you need to move it around (then re-aim using your compass) until you find the best spot for you. It was a time consuming and sometimes frustrating experience but I couldn't be more happy with my setup now - I'm getting crystal clear high-def TV FOR FREE.
