Clear TV Reviews

When I scanned the device, it actually scanned me only 50 channels and about only 20 of those are HD which the other ones are clearly okay. However, I'm still not satisfied by the fact that in every channel it always lagged extremely most of the time. Of course that's what you would expect on an antenna but I'm not satisfied by how much it lags.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Loved the product at first 6 months ago, over time however channels stopped coming in. At first the clarity would be off or choppy. Now it just says channel not available. I have tried resetting the channels but nothing worked.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I had no illusions about what this could do, I know how broadcast works and could see right through their commercials. But I've been on Rabbit Ears for the past few years and victim to changes in Weather, Cars driving past my window, and neighbors walking around upstairs. Consumer Reports reported that Amplified Rabbit ears do better. I got a set from Radio Shack and only got a slight improvement.

A Neighbor loaned me his clear TV said he was getting great results from it. The real noticeable difference is in putting it against the Wall, you get less inside interference and therefore a few more channels with less breakup. You wont get (nor was I expecting) Hundreds of channels or anything. I just wanted the lower band (2-10) with less interference and I'm getting it. Their advantage is a longer cable to run to the wall or window and eliminating some of the inside interference. Nothing More.

Clear TV Antenna works but it's nothing you can't buy at any big box store, Wal-Mart, Target, etc.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not too bad! I'm About 15 to 20 miles from the metro area and I am getting about 25 channels. Not all watchable to me but equivalent to my previous low end cable package and I'm saving about 50 bucks a month!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I really don't appreciate the false advertisement, because it only shows basic TV (about 5 channels). Although it shows the channels crystal clear.

Purchased the Clear TV Antenna on a whim while shopping at Walgreens. My friends Satellite was out for awhile and the game was coming on so, I said why not $15. On that television in the city worked like a charm picked up over 70 local free channels. Took it to my home in the suburbs and can't pickup PBS, CBS or ABC. The channels it does pickup fade in and out and as another user stated you have to readjust the Antenna constantly. So, for anyone living near and around the city I highly recommend it. But, for others in the suburbs it's a waste of money.

My neighbor bought it and gets 9 channels but his house faces north. I bought it and got 2 so I bought a booster and got 6 but my house faces south. I then bought an outdoor antenna and put it up about 26 feet and I get over 50 channels and only paid $30 on newegg.com, with Clear TV and the booster cost me $35. Although I did have the poles to put the antenna up so it would have cost me about $90 but well worth it. So Clear TV does work but depends on your location and direction.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I tried Clear TV and it worked great. The only issue was when a truck would pass by my house the static would interrupt the signal. Just bought me a Ztube from www.ztube.tv. The product seems to be the better product but more expensive. I live in a rural area and the Ztube picked up twice as many channels.

Re: Problem Number 3: Why You May Not Need Clear TV TV sets manufactured after 2008 are required by the government to include a built-in HD antenna (also called an ATSC tuner), which performs the exact same function as Clear TV.

Let it be known, an ATSC tuner is not an antenna. A ATSC Tuner captures Digital Channels, where an NTSC (VHF/UHF) Tuner pulled in Analog Channels. You will still need to connect an external antenna to that ATSC tuner. My recommendation is to purchase an amplified antenna. Especially for those that reside in a rural area. Even a pair of the tradition rabbit ears can be used to pull in those digital channels clearly if you are within city limits.

I would not buy Clear TV, because you will have to buy an amplifier if you want to pull in all the available channels in your area. There are many amplified rabbit ears on the market. If you want to go the extra step, I would suggest purchasing an outside antenna that you would install on a roof top, or the side of the house.

Remember in many markets the major networks, CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, offer sub channels. For example, channel 4.0 is the CBS in my area, but the also offer 4.1 which is a sub station. That station is named MeTV, MeTV is also the same station I received from my former cable provider. ION would be another station that is available over the air. And don't forget, these stations are broadcasting their audio signal in Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus.

In closing, I enjoy my OTA (Over the Air) programming. I save 100 + a month. I will never return to paying for TV.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It works OK but I built an antenna for $10 using plans I found online and I receive more channels. Also, people who claim they were ripped off because they now don't get their cable channels for free are just not understanding the whole idea. There's a reason it's called PAY TV.
