[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this antenna for specifically tuning in a difficult hi-vhf signal in the Chicagoland area. Antenna was installed in the attic 32 miles from the tower. Reception is outstanding and i would highly recommend this antenna.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking to get 3 VHF channels 35 miles from towers. Also wanted to position the antenna in attic if possible. After several location attempts in my attic got the channels I was missing. Best part - clearer than cable companies.

Response from antennasdirect.comBy Christine, Marketing, November 17, 2020
Greetings from Antennas Direct! The ClearStream 5 is not a Low-VHF antenna, it will recieve long range Hi-VHF and short range (about 35 miles) on UHF.

Improved VHF Reception
on September 24, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially I was using a ClearStream 2Max antenna, but it had to be rotated to receive quality signals from the two stations in DC broadcasting on VHF. The ClearStream 5 allows me to have the two antennas pointed in different directions to receive better receptions from stations broadcasting in both bands. I bought the ClearStream 5 to improve reception of the two VHF stations in DC (11 miles away) and to potentially receive the two in Baltimore (41 miles away). It sigficantly improved the reception of WUSA and WJLA in DC and it receives a decent signal (60-70%) from WBAL. WJZ's signal strength is around 60%, but it is not decodable so there may be interference or multipath issue to resolve.
The ClearStream 5 was a big improvement to watch VHF stations and eliminated the hassle of rotating an antenna. It's compact enough to fit on one of the shelves in my foyer closet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

ClearStream 5 VHF Antenna (Attic) installation

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Due to the rising costs of cable, my son and I recently installed a ClearStream 5 antenna with a VHF/UHF combiner in our attic. The installation was quite easy and the reception we have is great. I would recommend ClearStream products if your thinking of going to an antenna.

I'm only 45 miles or so from broadcast towers and no foliage as yet and can only pickup 1 of my local network channels. I can pick up stations I'm not real interested
in, like cooking and gardening. The unit is higher then the peak of my roof and is attached to amplifier. I can only bring in 1 VHF station.

Works Well for VHF Reception
on August 11, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am over 40 miles east of all of the VHF transmitters and this antenna picks them up well. It also picks up some UHF channels. But I cannot rely upon the Clearstream 5 to pick them all up because for some reason one moment the uhf transmitter east of me, becomes pixelated and some time loses it's signal., Therefore I've linked a clear stream XG91 to a combiner to pick up the remaining
channels that due east of me. I've tried several Antennas that have VHF capabilities , including the CS 4Max with UHF/VHF. DB8, CS2, and other companies but this is the only antenna that satisfies my VHF tv Watching.
