We’re thrilled to share that TechRadar, a trusted voice in tech reviews, has named the Antennas Direct ClearStream Eclipse the best indoor TV antenna for most people. As the team behind this innovative design, we couldn’t be more proud—and we’re excited to tell you why this recognition means so much to us and what it could mean for your TV-watching experience.
TechRadar praises the ClearStream Eclipse for what we’ve always aimed to achieve: a “simple, yet powerful indoor antenna with an unobtrusive design” (their words!). At just 8 inches across, this flexible single loop antenna is designed for any space—stick it to a window or wall with the included mounting kit, and you’re ready to go. With a reversible black-and-white finish, it will blend in, not stand out.
We built the Eclipse to pull in the free OTA TV stations available in your local market, and TechRadar’s tests back that up. In their semi-rural site—the Eclipse received 16 main signals and 61 total channels, some from as far as 75 miles away. They note that reception depends on elevation and obstructions (a fact we always emphasize), but with the number of solid channels they received shows the Eclipse’s strength, especially on UHF signals.
Setup is a breeze with our free Antenna Point app for iOS and Android phones, which TechRadar calls a standout feature. It maps nearby towers, shows you the direction to aim the antenna, and lists channels by signal strength. It’s not perfect—hills and buildings can interfere—but Antenna Point is a practical tool to get you started fast.
The review covers both ClearStream Eclipse versions: the amplified model (priced at $50) and the non-amplified option (priced at $40). TechRadar tested the amplified version, complete with an amplifier to boost TV signals with USB cable for power to the TV and a 12-foot coaxial cable. They call it “very fairly priced” for its performance, and we couldn’t agree more—it’s about giving you value and flexibility.
At Antennas Direct, our mission is to empower you to ditch cable and enjoy free over-the-air TV. TechRadar’s pick of the ClearStream Eclipse as the top choice for most people reaffirms we’ve always been on the right track with our innovative designs. Whether you’re in a city apartment or a suburban home, this antenna’s blend of power, simplicity, and style is here to unlock the airwaves for you. Ready to see what it can do at your place? Give it a try—we think you’ll love what you find.
