 Big performance in small package November 17, 2008
This antenna delivers as promised without the need of having a huge antenna mounted on the roof or an added pre-amp. I live 50 miles from the towers and I get all of the channels I want and the digital picture quality is fantastic.
Great DTV antenna November 13, 2008

I have been very pleased with this antenna. I am ~43 miles from the TV towers in LA. I did have to mount this antenna on my roof, above the roof line of neighboring houses, but the signal I receive is great. I simply used the previously installed cable coax from the cable company, and hooked it up to the C4, and am able to get a perfect signal on three TVs in my home. So that's three 2-way splitters, ~100' of coax cable, and no pre-amp is necessary. Compared to the large traditional outdoor tv antennas that for my location would need to have a 5-10' boom length, the C4 is quite small. I was able to get 58 digital channels after doing the auto channel search on my digital converter box. And I can now enjoy FREE HD quality TV. I ordered and received the C4 from Amazon, but some of the metal parts arrived bent out of the box. I was able to assemble it anyway, and luckily they didn't seem to be critical to its function. With the advent of free digital TV, this is absolutely the way to go. There is no more of the fuzzy analog signal with digital. Ditch your cable TV provider and get rid of expensive monthly cable fees, get free HD TV with an antenna, and then you can always watch shows that aren't broadcast for free on the internet (Hulu.com, etc.)
 Clearstream Works Well November 11, 2008

I placed my Clearstream4 in the attic. Most of my local stations broadcast from an antenna about 25 miles away, so I have solid reception. I also purchased the antenna mast just for the ClearStream from Antennas Direct and mounted the mast to a 1 x 6 board that I attached to the rafters. I added a spliter amplifier from Menard to amplify the signal as I split it.
It Works For Me November 2, 2008

I have an antenna in the attic which has pulled in analog signals for us just fine over the years. Got one of those digital to analog boxes so I would be able to continue getting off-air after February '09. Even though the box was attached to the same old antenna I was surprised that I could receive no digital stations.
Looking at the reviews I decided to get the Clearstream 4. I placed it in the attic, although the material recommended not to. It pulled in the 4 local digital stations but two of them were badly pixilated. I moved it up to the roof and am now receiving good signals. We live 25 miles from the TV towers, in a low valley with large trees between us and the towers. This antenna works! I also appreciate that it is light and thus was easy to move around to the different placements. If you are in a difficult location, be sure to point it at least roughly in the direction of the digital tower(s).
Excellent HD/UHF antenna -- not for VHF October 13, 2008

The antenna is fairly easy to assemble requiring only a screwdriver for tools. It does not come with the mast that is shown in the picture. I used it with a Motorola signal booster, but I couldn't tell that the booster contributed much. The antenna seemed to work just as well without the booster. I used this antenna with the Hauppauge 1198 WinTV-HVR-950 TV Tuner connected to my laptop computer to record HD programs from about 30 miles away from the television tranmitter towers in the San Francisco area. During the setup scan, it listed all the known HD stations. The lower VHF cannnels did not do so well, since this is strictly a UHF antenna. This antenna is fairly compact, using vertical space instead of lateral space. I did not use this antenna with a standard televison set. I am sure a television set has much better amplification than my tiny USB tuner.
