Picture the ClearStream VIEW Amplified UHF/VHF Indoor TV Antenna
Daily Two Cents
December 16, 2017 - When is an antenna not an antenna? When it’s the ClearStream VIEW Amplified UHF/VHF Indoor TV Antenna, is the answer. We all know what to expect when looking at an over-the-air antenna (OTA), right? If it’s indoors it’s most likely rectangular and has a flat appearance and is found attached to the wall near the TV. But that’s not what you get here, because the designers decided to go a different route. Now all you are paying for is the one-time cost of getting it, which has a retail of $69.99. So, for those who want to “cut the cord” without giving up on television, yet cringe at the thought of having an antenna stuck on the wall spoiling the decor, this changes everything. And for the better.

htpcBeginner
November 16, 2017 - htpcBeginner went through the bestselling and top reviews on Amazon and Best Buy to rate the top 5 antennas. They rated the Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V as the #2 best TV antenna. "There are several reasons to give ClearStream a superior rating among antennas, and the best of which is the website. Not only does their website tell you which antenna is best for your location, it also provides all kinds of instructional videos and resources to help you after they make the sale. They are not just interested in pushing their product out the door, they want to support it, too. The ClearStream 2V boasts a 60+ mile range and may be used inside or out. Alternately, try the ClearStream 4V for an impressive 70-mile range. Unlike Mohu devices, ClearStream antennas are a bit more utilitarian. Nevertheless, the ClearStream 2V is a top OTA antenna for 2017."

Luke enjoys that Antennas Direct has a tech support line that you can call with any questions or troubleshooting; he said many companies don't have that option. He is very impressed with not only the look and design of the antenna but also with the reception! It picked up every channel he expected to get in his home and did so very smoothly. He also liked the separate amplifier and Sure Grip™, which made it easy to install. Great antenna for the price range.
