Works great for distant VHF channels
353146
Reviews were very promising prior to purchasing.  I've had it installed for a while now.  This antenna works great to pick up VHF TV stations approximately 50 miles from my location as well as a local UHF station.  I have it mounted in the attic of a one story home with no amplifier feeding TVs with a 3 way splitter.  Amazing deal!

well built and has a very good gain in the uhf band. easily picks-up DT at ranges of over 60 miles. note- I won't call this a vhf antenna, but it should work short range.

After some trial & error  at near MAX antenna gain), my TV now reports
signal strength (of the desired channels) in the 76-81% range.
(whatever that means )
  but note : less than 71% WILL be unacceptable picture/audio. )

With this amplified antenna, I can now clearly & reliably
receive over 40 primary and sub-channel OTA broadcast channels
including all the national networks.

It is notable that the "HD" picture quality from OTA broadcast is
actually, clearer & crisper than I ever received with HD on cable.
( due to video-compression by the cable companies );
... btw: viewing NFL on FOX over-the-air @720p just blew me away on my 1080p HDTV.

Even though I am 26+ miles from towers, I was fortunate :

i.e.
Tranmitters clustered : @ 274-276 degrees on 1800'+ tall towers
flat terrain, suburbs, clear-view, no tall obstructions,
3-story townhome w/loft , cedar-wood exterior wall.

But, understand this, don't expect miracles.

technical stuff ....
UHF antenna is a metal wire inside the perimeter of the decorative plastic square.
VHF antenna is the straight, double, extendable sections  ears?).

The UHF channels are mostly ~1000KW and received easily.
 (i.e. w/antenna located on 2nd floor near TV, interior of house )

The VHF channels  ABC, CBS, PBS  are low power  <40KW  and are problematic.
 (i.e. this antenna needed to be positioned at the
  highest-elevation possible and on the wall facing the transmitters.

p.s. check out the following sites for very usefull info
  on your transmitters and antenna placement ..
  www hdtvantennalabs com / location /
  www antennaweb org / aw / Stations.aspx

pss. funny thing though ... I think they sent me the Spanish version ? lol.
  ... I blocked at least 25 channels of no interest ...
  religious, shopping, ethnic, non-English, etc. )

CON : "proprietary" RF connector that requires the supplied short RF cable.
  so, if longer cable needed, you must use a RF joiner adapter...

PRO : no more over-priced cable-tv bills

Works very well for the price, I do get channels 30-40mi away with the amplifier. 50 is pushing it, unless you do not mind artifacts. Antenna is near a window on my second story of my house.

I purchased this antenna to see how well we could get broadcast tv from the closest major market source (Philadelphia) whose broadcast antennas are just over 50 miles away. With the antenna suspended in the peak of the attic in our ranch home (about 18' above ground) it seems to pick up  the full-power stations of interest from Phila (except PBS Chan 12) as well  as local stations in Lehigh Valley and a couple of Wilkes Barre stations off the back of the antenna. Including sub-channels we probably get 30-40 watchable channels.  The performance is better than is predicted by the online sites which map signal strength vs. broadcast antenna locations, power,, etc and factor in location and height of the receiving antenna. I suspect my reception would be considerably better if the antenna was mounted 10' higher above the roof and we used a rotor.

We live about 50 miles from the metropolitan TV stations including PBS on low VHF.  This antenna is installed with an amplifier on the mast and we reliably receive all of the major networks with full quality and picture breakup is rare.

The major TV networks are anywhere from 8-33 miles away. Previously I had been using a amplified regular antenna from Big Lots. I was able to get the channels but I had to often reposition the antenna based on what channel I wanted to watch.

Decided to check this out finally, and glad I did.  With the Mohu I have no problems with VHF channels 8 miles away, but could not get one that was 33 miles away (regular antenna couldn't either). I was able to get UHF channels up to 29 miles away (according to tvfool.com). And I have the added benefit of not having to plug it inot the wall!

I previously tried the Terk HDTVa but that was no better for me than the regular antenna I had before. The Mohu is easier to position so that probably helps too.

Really seems like the Mohu works!

In setting up my Over-The-Air or OTA TV and streaming services, I have bought and used several preamps. The most recent one was the Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT Digital HDTV Preamplifier from Amazon. This preamp has a specified 1 dB Noise Figure, separately amplifies both VHF and UHF signals, and advertises a typical 18dB gain in the VHF/UHF band. This was a very good preamp; however, I am in a difficult location - about 30 miles from the main  broadcast  transmitters like ABC and CBS - and in a valley looking through trees with an indoor antenna sitting on top of my High Boy in my bedroom. Finally, the main path to my antenna from the broadcast antennas is a multipath bounce (or several) since I must point the antenna 20 degrees away from the True North positions as specified by tvfool.com.

Because of these difficult situations, one of my DVRs (the Viewtv At-163 - also purchased at Amazon) measures signal strength and reported fluctuations of +/- 10 to 15% on many of my favorite stations. This was enough for those channels to fade in and out. Therefore, I read the reviews once again and purchased this product. Viewtv now shows signal fluctuations of at most +/- 4% and most of the time no fluctuations at all. I guess that old saying is still true - "you get what you pay for" - and I completely agree.

I had tried two inexpensive antennas of the same type before this one, but reception was poor on most channels.  I put this on the wall in my living room, as high as I could get it, and it brings in all but one local channel very clearly.  Broadcast towers for all are located 16-20 miles away.  I get some interference on many channels during strong winds; otherwise it works fine 24/7. Better picture than cable, and I have two TVs connected.  I definitely recommend spending the extra money for the amplified version.

I ordered this antenna 6 months ago to "cut the cord" from an overpriced cable provider. I needed only to get a CBS and a PBS station from a city 50 miles away that is just on the marginal edge of the digital propagation region according to FCC signal strength maps. Although most of the 50 miles is across a bay with no tall obstructions, I was not sure it would work at this distance. After a initial test done by laying the antenna across a chair near the TV was successful in pulling in the stations, I mounted the antenna properly in the attic and aimed it at the city. The results were terrific. Not only did I get the stations I wanted, I got 6 others as well. The reception is reliably perfect, with the exception of brief periods during storms, particularly during thunderstorms. Combined with Internet streamed programming, I now have a complete programming menu for half the price I was paying the cable provider. The occasional storm outage for a few hours (about once a month so far) is a small price to pay for this saving. The antenna is a great performer in this marginal region. I would caution that it's very directional, and it will not pull in even closer stations if it's not pointing directly at them. This may not be the case in a strong signal region like a city, but I have only used it in a place with weak distant signals. As a bonus, with an added signal splitter to feed a receiver, it provides very good FM reception.

Getting 17 channels from as far away as 60 miles.  Using the RCA TVPRAMP1R as well.  I'm in the hills and have trees in the way.  Antenna Web said I'd get no channels but I'm getting all local channels.  Easy install, took 30 minutes.

One of the problems with the reviews for TV antennas is that no one bothers to give their location or to make a meaningful comparison between similar antennas under identical conditions. I hope this helps someone. The Clear Stream is an excellent antenna for UHF channels. It is a poor choice if you want to receive VHF channels. I live in a suburb 45 miles east of  New York City. My house is a two story about 95 ft above sea level. There is a high point that's over 400 ft high between my home and the transmitters  about 20 miles to the west.  I can get a great picture on all available commercial UHF channels with the Clear Stream mounted in my attic and with no amplification. I can watch over 40 channels. Unfortunately 4 of the channels I want to watch are VHF channels (ABC, PBS and 2 independents) and I can only get 1 of them even with a pre-amp. The one VHF independent I can get  is broadcast from a tower across the river in New Jersey. The three I can't get are broadcast from the Empire State Building. All of the other channels that I get really well are either local channels or broadcast from the World Trade center. Just for comparison I tried a small highly rated $49  RCA Compact 70 mile outdoor Yagi mounted in the same location. With a Winegard pre-amp that antenna got all of the channels I wanted.  There was occasional pixelation on the VHF channels but it's mounted in my attic. If I put it outside, I'm sure they would all be clear as a bell. It is,after all, sold as an outdoor antenna. It's just too cold outside right now to confirm that.  Both antennas were pretty forgiving when it came to aiming.

Excellent for VHF hi frequencies. I was using their basic UHF addon antenna to the 4v, removing that addon, and adding this 5v with a frequency separation unit UHF/VHF did much better for the VHF channels I needed (CBS and NBC in Baltimore). It meant the difference between frequent dropouts, to no drop outs. So now I have the UHF 5v pointed to Baltimore for Baltimore NBC and CBC, a clearstream 4 pointed at Washington DC that picks up UHF from Washington for, CW, ION, NBC, FOX, MyTV, PBS + baltimore FOX, then I have a second Clearstream 4 pointed at Baltimore to pick up the elusive Baltimore ABC with great signal. To get the two UHF clearstream 4's to not interfere with each other when combining UHF signals, I have to use a Channel Injector from tinlee.com. It uses a bandpass to pass the signal 38 (ABC virtual channel 2) and bandstop all other frequencies coming from the Baltimore UHF antenna, then a BandPass from the Washington DC antenna that passes all frequencies except 38. This is all in the attic (40ft high), approx 40 miles from both Baltimore and DC. Bestbuy ran a 1day half off the Clearstream 4 the day after thanksgiving, so adding a dedicated UHF antenna pointed to Baltimore wasn't too bad.

I was unable to receive 9 channels from a tower mere 20 miles away with a flat indoor "50-mile" antenna., so I bought this.

According to the FCC, my house has a weak reception of these missing channels, regardless of a close proximity.  This Yagi antenna has fixed the issue.  Thankfully, I didn't have to drill a hole on the house or roof.  I was able to fix it to the balcony railing securely.

We now have 26 digital channels that come in crisp and clear.

I tried several antenna and this has worked the best for me.  I have 2 VHF channels that other antennas have had problems bringing in, and 14 UHF.  The VHF-High 9 &13 have been nearly impossible to get at the same time on other antennas.  This antenna has a wide enough pickup pattern to allowed me get both VHF channels 9and 13 even though they are 72 degrees apart.  The UHF and VHF reception has been very good and very stable.  I've mounted in attic and have a 50 coax run to receiver.  All my channels are between 19 and 27 miles away with as much as 113 degrees separation.  I've split the middle of the direction. The independent VHF and UHF low noise amps have performed very very well.  I know I'd get better performance outside but living in a high wind area I've elected to get a little less performance and keep in inside the attic.  I do get a little bit of a signal that is completely off the side of the antenna on channel 20 that is 62 miles away.  It is unwatchable but the TV does pick it up in a channel adding scan.  During high winds, rain, lightning there is no change in performance, it just never breaks up, never.

I live in a converted warehouse apartment building so even though I am in a large metropolitan area and am close to the broadcast towers, I could not receive all of the local stations with a flat antenna because of the construction of my building.  This antenna solved the problem!  It isn't overly large and I was able to find a relatively inconspicuous location for it.  I recommend checking online to find the location of the towers in your area to help you aim the antenna.  This will also tell you whether the stations in your area are VHF or UHF.  If they are all UHF, you don't need to extend the rabbit ears, if you have one or more VHF stations in your area, you need to use the rabbit ears.  I found that the antenna did not work at all without the inline amplifier plugged in and turned on, but with the amplifier on it works great.  Once you have the antenna connected and positioned, be sure to rescan for channels on your TV, because there are probably some you didn't know about.

The antenna works well (with an amplifier), for transmitters that are about 45 miles away. It is not very sensitive to the direction it is pointing I just eyeballed it and got a perfect picture). The instructions on the leaflet are to
o brief (with tiny pictures); there are additional instructions on the back of the box--which are helpful in getting the antenna assembled properly.  The part of the antenna that looks like an old-fashioned antenna/fish skeleton (VHF) doesn't do anything anymore.  All digital TV signals are UHF now.
