Best buy didn't use to carry Mohu products and I was unaware that my store had this product due my (wrong) assumptions and the fact that Mohu products are not on the same aisle at BB as all the other antenna options!!
We had been trying to get the Clearstream 4V up and running and it was a royal pain with abysmal customer service. Went to BB first thing on a Saturday, found the Mohu Sky (or 60, seems to have a few different names), just kind of placed it in the proper direction after minimal assembly and Voila! more channels with random placement than the Clearstream 4V with 3 nights of effort. In addition the Mohu comes with an amp and 30 ft of coax. The Clearstream came with neither.
I'd like to point out the the FCC, tvfool and antennaweb all said we would get no reception in our area. We can get 31ish channels, some are duplicates but we get the majors, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS clearly. In our former home all of the authoritative sites named above said we could get 29 channels and we could get about 4. So don't believe it and at least give over the air a shot!
FYI we used attic placement.

The ClearStream 4V HDTV Antenna uses patented technology to receive TV signals 70 miles away from broadcast towers. Ideal for suburban and rural areas where heavy foliage or roofing materials reduce the incoming signal. The dedicated UHF and VHF multi-directional elements deliver range and reception in less than ideal locations. The ClearStream 4V comes with mounting hardware and a 20in. mount with a pivoting foot to allow installation on vertical or horizontal surfaces.

Don't Count on Clearstream Support for Help

We cut the cord over a year ago and have been using the Mohu Leaf with Amp prior to moving to Alabama with success. It is time to get the OTA up and running in our new home and the leaf worked ok in the attic but we felt reception and number of channels could be better and we bought the Clearstream 4V. After spending a couple of hours up in the 100 degree attic moving the antenna around we came to some conclusions. First the number of channels picked up with the Clearstream was worse than the Leaf. Secondly, things improved if we used the Leaf amp with the Clearstream but we felt since the Clearstream was larger and more expensive it should really not need an amp. By the way using an amp is not listed ANYWHERE in the assembly install instructions as a possible need/alternative and Best Buy doesn't even sell them here. So I called the number in the Clearstream guide the next day and the person helping me appeared to know even less about my location, possible channels, etc than I did. Overall not a very good experience. When I mentioned that it would be helpful if at least mentioning having to need an amp were in the guide it was stated that how could they list it as a possible need because people might not need one????? Going to spend one more evening trying to pull channels in and then ditching it back to BB. Not really sure why one would spend more on this device than a Mohu at this point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

UPDATE
August 29, 2016
After messing with this antenna for 3 nights, went and bought the Mohu 60/Sky. For less money the Mohu is a superior product. Brought the Mohu home and with minimal assembly and effort had the tv's up and running. Do not waste your time with the Clearstream. Mohu assembly is easier, it gets far more channels and customer service is good.
