[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One station, just one stubborn VHF channel was eluding me. The Clearstream 5 grabbed that station and one other VHF station! Problem solved. This Antenna is great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just What I needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started with the Clearstream 2V. Most towers are about 30 miles away. All the UHF channels were clear. Channel 9 (VHF hi band) was marginal. Signal quality varied from just acceptable to unwatchable. Three reasons account for this 1) location is on south side of a hill just below the peak (see photo). 2) Lots of trees. 3) The gain of the dipole on the Clearstream 2V is only rated at 3.1Dbi. The clearstream 5 has a 7..6 Dbi rating. In addition the use of a separate VHF and UHF antenna permitted each to be independently positioned as shown in photo 2. A UHF/VHF antenna combiner was used to combine the signals. Signal quality for channel 9 (VHF hi) went from 40 % to 65 - 70 %. Problem solved. Other UHF channels, although good, improved (as measure by signal quality meter on tuner). This is due to the ability to independently align each antenna.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in the super boonies between Chicago and Milwaukee. 45 miles to the towers.
Channel 2 (CBS) has ALWAYS been a problem to get. No more. Combined with a CV4, I get everything rock solid even in crummy weather.
I use a CV4 with Dipole on the Milwaukee side.
Diplexer in the house to combine the two stacks into one lead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the third antenna I had tried. Went from 2 marginal channels to 8 now. Worth the money.

The Clear Stream C5 is Strong and Sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The C5 is a Strong and Sturdy Antenna and will Provide Reliable Reception and Last a Long Time Outside.
The C5 Is Designed for Reception of the VHF High Band Tv Channels 7 thru 13 when the Signal Strengths are Weak and Strong.
Out of Band Reception.
The C5 will also do a Good Job of Receiving the UHF Tv Band Channels of 14 thru 51 when the Signal Strengths are Strong.
And the C5 will also Receive the VHF Low Band Tv Channels 2 thru 6 when the Signal Strengths are Strong.

I live only about 12 miles from the transmitting antenna for channel 7, but the antenna must be in my attic, which is lined with metal as a "radiant barrier", plus I have a TiVo Premiere, which has a notoriously bad tuner and has trouble picking up relatively strong signals. Rabbit ears produced a lot of dropouts of the digital signal, but with this antenna there are no dropouts at all and the signal meter on the TiVo is in the green all the time.
