We live in Brooklyn and have them in our windows. It works great been using it for over two years and have no complaints. We are fortunate enough to have the TV on the wall by the window.
We used it for about 8 years in Orlando, Florida. It worked so so. We just wanted it to watch the news. We hate cable bills, so this thing served its' purpose.
The biggest key on that antenna working is to be in or very close to the city that has the broadcast tower. It won't work over great distances and many people forget that antennas are directional. I'm using the GE Pro outdoor 70 mile antenna right now and it works great. Of course, it's 24 feet up and aimed in the right direction. Just putting them outside and in the air is not good enough. You have to know what you are doing.
I agree. But I do have to add Ive seen this advertised on tv and they make it look so easy, like it will work anywhere. I was hoping it was more like that :D
I repurposed one of these into an amplified AM/FM antenna for my home stereo. Does a fantastic job. You just need to get two 75-to-300 ohm adapters, two RF coax cables, and a cable splitter. Install the Clear TV coax cable into the cable splitter input. Install the two RF coax cables into the 75 ohm coax inputs and the cable splitter outputs, then screw the twin 300 ohm leads into the antenna terminals on your home stereo. (I have separate antenna terminals for AM and FM.)
I have had no problems with mine. Purchased at Walgreen’s for $15 and change. Get lots of channels including network. It is mounted in a window to a 10 year old tv.
I purchased one and it works very well. have tried more expensive ones and homemade ones with little to no results. To those of you out there, do not follow his bad advise. Try it! If it does not work return it.
For me it really didnt work, that was my honest review but I see for some people (perhaps people who live in a bigger city) it may work ok. If you buy it just save your receipt, perhaps you can return if it doesnt work for you.
I believe you! I am in Honolulu living in a bottom floor apartment. Am surrounded for miles by other buildings many of which are high-rises. We cannot just write something off for others because it does no work for you.
Our towers are about 20 miles away, in the Orlando area. You will see at 3.35 that it recommends being within 25 to 30 miles of the towers. This antenna works just fine for us and is not even near a window. It pulls in about 45 channels just fine, and even some from Melbourne, FL! Better picture than cable even. We will get an amplified antenna to pull in the Melbourne channels better, and maybe even the Tampa and Miami ones. For a cheap antenna this rocks!!
Love the camera angle! I'd have fun trying that with my tremors! The ClearTV has a Facebook advertised range of 50 miles, w/ optional boosters for greater distance. I tried the TVScout, with a dismal zero channels. A couple of weeks ago, while fiddling with the cable to the outside that I used for a previous TV antenna, I connected the cable to my new TV. No antenna. Just a 5' length of coax. And I got 4 channels, not counting the French one. Amazing! Anyway, love your review! Keep it up!!
I live in a small town, about 30 miles from the local networks, have no problem getting all the channels with clear. Actually does better than my amplified antenna with less wires and no extra energy cost.
I tried it and got 3 local PBS educational channels about 10 moles away. But my sister lives near a large city and she got 14 channels. Distance is everything
I purchased the same one and it works ok. We live about 40 to 50 miles from the tower and I only get 4 channels with it. Better than nothing, but I will still look at other options.
@@TUXXREVIEWS The picture quality is very good so far for only using it 10 days. For some reason it seems to work the best on the ceiling. I agree only four channels isn't good and the next tower is about 80 miles from us. That tower only has three channels.
Most people dont know that antennas dont pick up tv signals. The tv itself is the receiver, Rabbit ears are the same as this antenna. You can use two pieces of wire to form a dipole that will work just as good or better. You have to be in the general area, or use a long range directional antenna like the person commenting below.
I live in Havasu, AZ and am not near any major cities, bout 180 miles away from the nearest one. I tried about 3 dig. antennas with no luck before purchasing this one, needless to say I was very skeptical because of the past experiences but this one works great and I was able to get my major network channels which was my goal, plus a few more. So ide say I get about 12 channels total, I even bought another one for TV in another room. Seems that I get a few less channels on my older flatscreen, and on my newer flatscreen I get a few more. That may also have something to do with the amount of channels Im getting. I have it mounted on the window in both rooms, and its a bit sensitive, if I move it or tilt it away from its 'sweet spot' some channels wont come in. Also I noticed during a monsoon storm channels cut out a bit. So it does take a bit of experimenting to get some reception, but all in all for the price im very happy with it, 12 or so channels with the major networks for only $15 one time suits me just fine. Im ready for football season and have axed cable completely saving some good $$ per month.
I bought the previous version of your example above a couple of years ago, from the same company, and my purchase was completely 'worthless' as well. No frequencies were picked up; so after your review, I will stop watching the loudmouth pitchman for ClearTV. Thanks for your review! I'm still searching for a 'working over the air antenna'. And I live in a metro area.
OMG This Clear Tv work so dam good I had to ditch my cable service I'm tired of paying a cable bill...... For me this thing work soon as I screw it on... & I paid 14.99 at Walgreen & went back and got 4 more
My brother in law gave me this product yesterday. He tried using this and couldn't pick up any channels. He lives about 55 miles away from Atlanta. I live 38 miles from Atlanta so I tried it. I placed the product on my upstairs window (the window facing Atlanta) and connected it to my bed room TV. It picked up 24 channels. Of the 24 channels, I would say that 14 are very strong signals. I will buy a better antenna soon and see how it works. I'm guessing a better quality antenna will have great results.
I have satellite TV and and an over-the-air antenna. I love both and not getting rid of either of them. But with OTA, get a large outdoor antenna (VHF/UHF) with a rotor. I live in an apartment, and my landlord let me have satellite TV, a large outdoor antenna, an outdoor AM/FM radio antenna, and a SiriusXM antenna all installed outside. I don't think any other landlord would allow that. I also have cable internet as well in which I also stream TV and radio.
i met someone on the net..he makes his own antenna's...i live in Canada..his works GREAT for me...on a bad day i get 23 channels on good day i can get 30...most are USA channels
I live in a small city, less than 20,000 people and approximately 30 miles from the area where the broadcast towers are and using this indoors get plenty of channels...20 to 30 depending on which room we are in.
I tried it...it's works okay the same like a regular antenna it's best to get it in person than through the mail by the right price for non-cable and satellite viewers found it at the Dollar Store
Sometimes if you live far out enough it's best to just get the basic/cheapest cable package you can get because at least you'll get all the local channels properly with no BS.
I am totally satisfied with Clear TV I have four televisions in my house flat screens and I purchase Clear TV for all four I do have a larger screen in my den for for the main channels that I cannot pick up on Clear TV but I am totally satisfied with it... I was paying almost $200 a month for cable television now my bill for just one television in the large room is $76 a month whole lot better than 200 for me
Will try. I just purchased Trinity antenna that reaches 60 miles...I'm able to get 42 channels...edit but I do live near a major city about 20 miles south from Chicago
All HD indoor antenna are the same and you MUST be within 100 Miles of a TV station to get a single. Some boosted outdoor antenna you can pull in stations 150 to 200 Miles.
I hooked it up to my converter box and it worked I was getting channels until the Clear TV antenna dropped now somehow my converter box doesn't work anymore
I bought it and was ok with it until the channels scrambled quite a bit some were ok. I bought a new antenna and all my channels are perfect picture now. I think the signal is to weak.
Mines works fine.. I'm having no problems with it. I kinded like it almost better than that Roku! At least I know it won't be blinking out all the time. 👍
Those anntennas dont pick up much but the bunny ears ones pick up a good 15-30 channels depending on your location. It also depends on mile ratios. A 40- 60 mile ratios anntenna i use can pick up channels from quad city to springfield illinois plus sometimes st louis mo. I live near peoria so i can get a good set of channels. I belief the one you use is only a window base antenna with a 10-20 mile ratios. Basicly pointless. Try one with bunny ears. Or a stick antenna
Yes ditch cable TV but keep internet. Also try direct TV now I had that and it was grate. But you have to up your speed to stream 24 7. I think if not direct TV now sling you get ESPN for sports. Yes you have to be in s city to get it working but can get some stations off it outside city.
We constantly hav'g to do channel scans and get like 8 channels,then maybe 15.I *hate anything that has a wire(like cell phone chargers) attached to it.We need a Wireless Clear Tv Antenna.
I used radioshack rabbit ears antenna with booster,i lived on bottom floor of apartment building I could barely get 1 channel,my windows are on east side of building.
This Antenna does not work. The directions say to "Point the antenna at the nearest satellite dish"? I don't have any neighbors with a satellite dish. I wonder if this is just a way to steal your neighbors signal? Now I am stuck with this antenna I purchased from a TV commercial for $59.00. The customer service number does not work; just tells me to contact the email address! :
I just got clear tv and so far where l am.. l live near city like New York city.. l have locate tv station. Problem is power and booth. You have to buy extra..
FYI you will NOT receive Cable premium channels. So if that is why you have cable then this product is not for you. You will NOT receive HBO, CINEMAX, or any of the other pay premium channels. Hope this helps. And if anyone knows any products that do please share the wealth. :) lol!
i have one in the living room and i need one in my bedroom but all the stores around dont sell it anymore :( and i hate ordering over the phone lol with the one i have i get 33 channels so it might be the area you are in . but if you dont want it ill take it off your hands :)
You should do more reviews on antenna's. I have been looking for a good antenna for my area.. and so far not very good luck. ( I get 2 out of 20 channels on my rabbit ear antenna), But i'm looking to get all 20. If you have any recommendations on antenna's you've already reviewed or can find a decent antenna keep in touch with me!
I was happy with the responses on this I will test some others in the future and try to find some good solutions. Cable costs so much! I have a video on "Rabbit tv" in my video list, you may want to try that as a cost effective tv idea too. Thanks for the feedback and checking the video out :D
I see that this is a Very old Video that you made. Jan 13, 2016. You Need to go back and test it AGAIN. It is clear to me that you do not know what you're doing, it has to be in a window it does not work too good between wood concrete and electrical wiring. And with an amplifier connected to it, it will be even better, so my suggestion to you is for you to stay clear of Clear TV. Your expectations are too high when you don't know what you're doing. I have two of them and they both work perfectly. And the link above in your Description doesn't work.
It depends on where you live. It works better in downtown cities. It picks up more signal on windows. In a hilly area, you can try a Clear TV Amplifier. Here's the link for Clear TV Parts. www.unitycart.com/cleartv2/parts/?_ga=1.152542713.1355570158.1454711162
its junk on basic cable atm figured try it and only got 4 channels out of 70 none of which i watch vs at least 10 taking away all the old crap,not in english,soccer,government channels or tv guide
I have this on all my tv's and it works fine. I have some problems when it rains but I get a lot of channels. We shouldn't have to pay for the basic channels.
Agree with other posters- a LOT of chat-had to get to 5 minutes of the video's 7 minute length before you actually Plugged the damn thing in ! next time-less chat and get to the point a lot quicker :) (but thanx for saving me money)
If you want this kind of Antenna stick with Channel Master or Winegard. The best being the Winegard Winegard FlatWave Amped FL5500A . You will not be sorry.
James Varela I've been looking into the winegard. I live in a semi basement apartment so my signal drops alot with my antenna and booster. do you still like it?
Yep it needs to be facing north in my city. I confirmed it with a local station. I saw a kind of review on the winegard, so I was wondering if you still like it.
TwwGigi i now have two Channel Master 4228s in my attic. This Amplified Winegard is the best indoor antenna there is . Check TVFOOL to make sure aimed correct
