Clear TV Reviews

Please do not believe in Clear TV as it is a big lie. This antenna did not catch even one good and stable quality channel. It did not matter which way I put it, whether it was in a window or inside the wall, it did not work. Money lost forever!

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

What I was offered is totally different from what I got. This antenna does not work. Don't waste your money.

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

This has to be the worse purchase I have ever made. I have to move it every time i change the channel. Also, I do not get any extra channels. Would not recommend to anyone.

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

This antenna is a minimal performer at best. By itself it does ok on UHF only channels. I added a Winegard Pre-amp to it and it made a great difference. Still at best, it's a poor performer on VHF only because it received just one channel. It does not come complete as they want extra for cables, an amplifier, and ten dollars for a stand. Many companies are now trying to feature novelty Scotch tape type antennas. With some silicone sealer and an extension coax cable you could mount it outside and it would last a few years.

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

I hope I can stop at least one person from getting ripped off, which would be great, but 10,000 or more would really be the best!

I am a professional Industrial Electrician with a background in broadcast engineering. First off, don't let anyone tell you that you need a residential digital TV antenna because there is no such animal! Do not let anyone or any advertisement tell you that their antenna will receive up to 200 miles; it is not true. Maybe with an absolutely clear line of site and no radio-frequency interference, maybe, but it's very very doubtful.

So my location is fairly rural and is on the side of a mountain with a couple of hard rock quarries surrounding us. To say that my location for good TV reception is terrible is an absolute understatement. My parents bought us one of these antennas a few years back, and I graciously said "thank you" and took it home. We hooked it up to the TV in my daughter's room, scanned for channels and got nothing. I even went as far as taking the TV outside and tried it, and surprise surprise, I got nothing again.

Two years ago we cut our basic cable waste of $110.00 a month, and I bought a roof top antenna just like the ones from the 1960s (which are still being manufacture today). This antenna is the old school VHF and UHF kind. We also purchased a tripod, 10' 1" 1/4 ridged conduit, antenna rotator, control box, pre amplifier and amplifier. All of these materials cost about $250.00 (give or take). After it was installed we scanned channels and low and behold, we got 26 stations and sub-channels. We were ecstatic!

Over the years we have periodically re-scanned and picked up more stations and sub-channels, and we are up to 48 now. Along with our Roku and Apple TV boxes for approximately $70.00 a month, we have well over 500 stations to choose from, which is far better than we ever thought we would receive.

So in the end, if you live in an urban area, chances are that Clear TV and their competitors should work, but so will old-school rabbit ears and some other small compact antennas, which are slightly more expensive than Clear TV. If it's too good to be true, then it is. If you have ever installed or even helped install an old-school rooftop, well, you are well on your way to being able to receive beautiful and clear digital TV. Save yourself the hassle, expense, and disappointment of purchasing Clear TV and their competitor's products. The will work, maybe, in ideal locations with ideal environmental conditions.

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it helps someone who could use the info and save their money. If on the off chance you still want to throw away your hard-earned cash send it to me, I could always use the extra money, and you will get the same results as if you actually bought this piece of junk!

I just ordered this product and I went to the antenna website and it said I would receive only 11 channels but instead I received none, so I would suggest to use cable - it works better then this.

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

Every time I see this commercial I shake my head. Do people really believe this crap. Its a freaking antenna. Rabbit ears will work just as well if not better.

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

Hello,

I was excited to order the antenna to cut down on cable bill for me and my family. I purchased four antennas (2 for my TVs, 2 for Christmas gifts).

When I first installed, it looked great in my bedroom. After minutes of showing my local channels the picture was not clear at all, sound was on and off, the picture looked scrambled. My children loves watching cartoons. My child every so minutes asking me, "What happened mommy, TV doesn't work". I cannot fully listen to the news cause the sound goes on and off.

This happens most of the time. It was frustrating and I decided to reopen my cable account. Don't waste your money, don't make my mistake.

Good Luck. Thanks for reading.

Clear TV works only if you live close to the broadcast tower. However, I installed an outdoor antenna with a rotor and yes it's directional but it works great. I can get 20 channels pointed south, about 20 when pointed north, 10 when pointed east, and 5 while west. Although a lot of them are the same broadcast but just different channels that are awesome and free. This is way better than Clear TV was. It's only good if you're in a big city near the signal about at no more than 25 miles. Outdoor can go about 150 miles!

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

I bout a Clear TV antenna installed it and got absolutely nothing but snow. I recommend do not buy this worthless product. I also tried another brand and the same thing, nothing but snow.

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

Signal cut in and out, went and bought $11 Wal-Mart one and worked better.
