Clear TV Reviews

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.

This antenna is a piece of junk. You should never buy it otherwise you will have regrets like I did.

My Clear TV antenna didn't pick up any more over the air channels as my 2.00 rabbit ears did!

My TV does this on its own so why pay for Clear TV? I still got cable and it can't be replaced. Clear TV is a scam in my opinion.

Did not receive. Ordered a month and a half ago and it never arrived. Sent an email to the company. They said it shipped but never received it. I do believe it is a scam. They also said they sent a refund but never received that either. Although it is not a lot of money, it is not fun to be scammed, even if it's only 30 dollars.

Like everyone else, I jumped on board with the Clear TV Antenna without investigating first and now I'm stuck with more crap. When the antenna is placed near my window, I might get a few channels with only one or two being actually clear. However, while the antenna placed near the wall, I get three clear channels. This is immensely frustrating.

I purchased this product because I was convinced by the sales person that it would work in my area when all the time she knew that it would not work. After trying it every way I could, it still didn't work, not to mention they would not take it back, so I feel like this is a scam.

They're targeting areas they know that it does not work, especially in rural areas with no tower and where people don't have the internet. I bought the whole package after 30 minutes of questions and being reassured by the salesperson. They pretended they checked my area and told me it would work. Shame on you for taking people's money and refusing to refund.

Here is the kicker: when I called in and complained, they told me to just throw it away or give it away.

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

I bought the Clear TV Antenna, and it did not work on either of my TVs. I only got four channels, so I am not satisfied with the product. So I took it back and got my money back. I live in a 4th-floor apartment and moved it around in different places, including on a window, and only got four channels.

I brought two Clear TV Antennas and neither worked. I connected my three TVs, had the antennas connected with a clear view of the sky, DESERT, New Mexico, no obstruction, all three did not work. IT IS A SCAM!! I guess you must live in the middle of the Gulf of New Mexico. Please do NOT waste your hard-earned money on this scam. I challenged them to show me personally it worked, no, guess no response. I do not see/understand how they can legally stay in business, a joke.

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

Very poor product and bad signal. If you lived in a big city or the outskirts of a big city then you would get reception, maybe four or five channels, but I can only get one channel. When I use my homemade antenna I get 25 channels, go figure. Terrible product, don't buy.

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

My wife ordered two of these antennas and I thought she was just wasting our money. We had basic cable service with 22 channels. I live on a high hill and in a two story house so I added an extra 25 foot of cable to get it up higher. The picture is great (uncompressed signal) and I got 44 channels. Don't expect to get HBO and all that stuff. Remember you're getting free stations. I got the Football games and the news that I want so I canceled my cable.

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