What customers say
This antenna is celebrated by cord cutters for its exceptional ability to capture distant, high VHF channels that other flat antennas miss. Users consistently describe it as a game changer for fringe reception areas, often outperforming larger traditional models. While its specialized design excels at pulling in major network affiliates, robust UHF reception may require additional equipment. Build quality is highly rated for durability, supporting various mounting options. Although precise aiming is necessary for optimal long range performance, the resulting stable, high definition signal quality justifies the premium price for those facing specific reception challenges.
Know before you buy
The ClearStream 5 is designed for both attic and outdoor mounting. Its compact size makes it a great fit for attics, though outdoor mounting generally provides a clearer line of sight for better long-range reception.
Yes, this antenna is specifically engineered for challenging rural and suburban locations. With a range of 65+ miles and a high-gain design, it is built to pull in distant signals that smaller antennas might miss.
Yes, the ClearStream 5 is fully compatible with NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0), as well as 4K, 8K, and Full HD 1080p signals. It is designed to handle modern broadcast standards without requiring an internet connection.
The reflector is essential for boosting signal strength while simultaneously blocking interference from behind the antenna. This helps focus the antenna's reception power toward the broadcast towers, resulting in a more stable picture.
While the ClearStream 5 is optimized for superior Hi-VHF performance, it also covers the UHF frequency range. It is a versatile choice if your local stations are broadcast across both of these bands.
The antenna features a 70-degree horizontal reception pattern. This means it is somewhat directional, so you will get the best results by pointing the front of the antenna toward your local broadcast towers.
