Clear TV Reviews

Clear TV actually works like most other digital antennas. It will bring in local over the air broadcasts. If you're just looking to add local broadcasts to your TV, then it works. If you think it will replace cable of satellite service you'll be disappointed. The question of would I recommend this to a friend would depend on what the friend was looking for. What's really wrong with this product is the misleading advertising.

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

The HD aspect of it is great. The channels that come in HD are very clear and I see all details. For some reason I cannot get ABC, PBS and a couple others. I get CBS, NBC and Fox plus many other channels. I really like PBS and I know there are good shows on ABC. I'd be much happier if it received these channels too. Considering that I bought it at Walgreens' for $15 plus tax, it's not so bad.

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

I won't defend or attack Clear TV, it works decently enough compared to other antennas of its kind, or to what a handy person can build with a YouTube video. (I've used both alone and in Tandem and while Clear TV looks better I actually give the edge to a YouTube special).

But I have to call BS on Our Reviewer and Point Number three:

An ATSC TUNER is NOT a built in antenna. Yes all TVs after 2007/08 needed an ATSC Tuner due to the 2009 Digital conversion but that TUNER is not a substitute for an antenna. Unless your Home Physically falls under the shadow of a Broadcast Tower, you need something attached to the CoAx Jack on your TV, otherwise why haven't they phased out the CoAx Jack on TVs in the last 8 years.

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

I recently had to make some cuts in our family finances. I invested in Clear TV and I still get on my local channels plus quite a few movie channels I'm very satisfied with it.

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

Lucky to get 3 channels and they fade in and out. Wouldn't recommend for anyone.

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

What makes my picture keep freezing up. I'm watching my shows and the picture just freezes. You can still hear the talking but the picture is frozen.

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

I think clear TV is good when you can't afford the high cable bill. However, I don't like that sometimes you get no channels at all. Overall, this antenna is ok and I tell others about it. It doesn't deserve 5 stars though.

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

I was unable to get in touch with any customer service representative and still cannot locate me order. This got me wondering on the ethics of this company. I hope to hear back real soon because I still don't have my order yet they took the money off of my credit card.

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

What do people think they're getting? A $10.00 antenna. It's not Comcast. When you buy a product like this, you should expect to get ONLY some local channels. I installed my antenna, and I didn't get any reception. Once I twisted the antenna towards a window, I got all local channels except CBS. Why send it back. Keep playing with the antenna. If it doesn't work, just throw the damn thing in the garbage and write it off as a loss.

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

When I purchased this, I lived in Washington, Pennsylvania. I was a single parent who could not afford cable but wanted to receive the local channels clearly. When I bought it, it was on special, and I thought 40 bucks was worth it for the two TVs. It gave me 5 channels when I could not afford any.

Being in the mountains drastically reduced my reception. I have not tried it in Jacksonville, but if you're looking to eliminate a cable bill because you're struggling then get rid of cable, you can at least enjoy a couple of regular channels until things improve. A few channels is better than no channels when you are financially challenged.

Most everyone has WiFi these days and if you have WiFi join Netflix because it's cheaper than cable. This product is not perfect but it really depends on the job you're trying to complete and how you look at whether it is a good deal or not. For me, it provided just enough for my daughter to go without having nothing.

My bottom line is yes, I would recommend it to her friend but the experience of how many channels is different from person to person and how much effort they put into finding the best location. Just because your TV is set up in a specific spot, it doesn't mean that's the best spot for the antenna. You may have to move the TV around so that you can move the antenna too and face it in the best direction to pick up the most.

In recommending the product I would explain how I felt in the conversation and then let the person decide where they are in life and what they really need. What we all need is some competition no matter what state you live in for the cable companies. If a few more cable companies would come out just like with the cell phones, the wars would begin, and we would begin getting better prices. Of course, if all of us would remove cable TV from our homes, in a couple of months, as they are going bankrupt, they would begin offering better prices.

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

Before I ordered my antenna, I inquired as to what dig channels are available in my area. No one would answer that? We have three domestic dig channels in Nova Scotia: Global, CBC, and CTV. I am getting them with a 6-foot piece of coaxial cable screwed into the back of a flatscreen TV and other end stripped down to copper wire. Three channels come in 95% perfect all the time. I was hoping with your antenna, I was expecting to get some extra channels (preferably US). No, still the three Canadian channels. Didn't need to buy this antenna...no improvement.

Now I have the answer to my original? If CRTC told TV networks to release their dig signals unblocked, nothing new happened here in Nova Scotia. Someone should inform people in Atlantic Canada about this.

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