I just installed the Clearstream 4V yesterday and couldn't be happier so far! The antenna is being used at my cabin in upstate NY which is about 35 miles north of Syracuse in the heart of the Adirondacks. We don't spend a ton of time there so I can't justify paying for cable or a dish. I logged onto antennaweb.org beforehand to get an idea as to how many stations I could expect with a good antenna and it stated 22 for my address. I figured if I could get 10 or so, I would be lucky since it's located in a heavily wooded area and the antenna is mounted only about 12' high. Well to my surprise, I get all 22 , crystal clear too! My last antenna (which was a TerK) only gave me 8 or so and most of them would cut in and out during the daytime. If you don't want any surprises, check out antennaweb.org first to determine the number of channels available for your address. If you like what they say, buy this antenna, follow the installation instructions, and you will likely get similar results. It's important to point the antenna in the right direction so If you don't have a compass, you can use the compass app on your smartphone to aim the antenna is the perfect direction.
