About this item

Best performance among amplified flat antennas in the 50 mile range category [NOTE: Location, obstructions, and building materials effect reception]
Sure Grip Technology guarantees the easiest installation of any indoor antenna available. Paintable surface - match your wall, Furniture, or accent Color for custom fit. Lifetime Warranty
The 20Db in-line amplifier system provides added range and maximum signal reception for more channels. Plug into your TV, Scan for channels, watch TV
Multi-directional element and double-sided Black or white design: no aiming necessary and comes with 12ft of high performance coaxial cable
Indoor installations can be problematic for two reasons. First, the antenna will be lower than a roof-mounted installation, often limiting line-of-sight. Second, the digital signal is weakened by every wall the signal must pass through. This is why we recommend placing your indoor antenna as close to a window as possible (again, the higher, the better).

35 customers mention23 positive12 negative

Customers are mixed about the reception of the antenna.

27 customers mention10 positive17 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the antenna. Some mention it's really value for money, while others say it'll waste your money.

"...i guess it works decently well but not really adequate for my needs. Not a 2 network person...." Read more

"...I am really pleased with the purchase and believe the price was justified in it...." Read more

"...Mohu - 28 channels. ClearStream - 8. RCA - Not acceptable in any way My decision is to keep the Mohu and suck up the price as much as I wanted..." Read more

"...I got it on an open box deal, otherwise, the price is a bit high for an antenna." Read more

13 customers mention6 positive7 negative

Customers are mixed about the adhesion of the antenna. Some mention that it sticks where ever you put it, and the sure grip adhesive makes relocating the antenna easy. However, others say that the adhesive does not stay stuck on walls or windows as advertised, and it keeps falling off.

"...While the adhesive function works well, I found that if I hang the antenna from a hook, I tend to get the best picture...." Read more

"...little skeptical about how often that can be done before it loses its adhesive quality. Overall, this has been a good purchase." Read more

"...The longer cord and the sure grip adhesive combine to make relocating the antenna a breeze...." Read more

"...Installing is really simple, but the adhesive is very weak and I couldn't keep it attached to my wall, or ceiling...." Read more

Great antenna.

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

Great antenna ... works very well. Just a couple of tips that could save you some time. First, the further you mount the antenna away from your set, the more gain you lose. That means the closer you can mount this to your TV, the better. If you do need extra coax extension, then connect a pre-amp to the antenna to make up for lost dB, then run the coax from the pre-amp wire to the TV. I couldn't figure out why I was losing signal on broadcast antennas that I can literally see from my house ... it's because I had connected too much coax and the pre-amp was connected to the wrong side. Once I got rid of the pre-amp altogether and connected this straight to my DVR running into my TV, all channels came in crystal clear..

This review is for the 50 mile indoor version. Let me qualify these comments by stating that I do not live in an urban area and my expectations for this device were probably not realistic going in. According to antennaweb.org my site shoud be able to receive 5 channels (from ground level) including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS. The farthest away of these antennas is 37 miles. So a 50 mile antenna should work, right? Not so much. I can clearly receive 2-3 of the channels which is positional. It does seem to work better on a glass window than on the wall. i guess it works decently well but not really adequate for my needs. Not a 2 network person. The channels that do come in have a beautiful HD picture. I probably need an outdoor antenna on the roof.

I finally found an Antenna that wouldn't need to be adjusted half the time I change channels!

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

For the longest time, no antenna I would purchase could compare to the August DTA207, a very simple telescopic TV antenna, however, from time to time I would have to reposition the antenna in order to get a signal for certain channels. The August DTA207 just happened to be the antenna that I had to move the least. I had issues with the RCA Basic Indoor Antenna, August DTA240/DTA250/DTA215, Mohu Leaf 50, Mohu Leaf Metro, etc. Needless to say, I was quite skeptical about the ClearStream Eclipse, as I have tried so many antennas and failed to get all the channels without repositioning the antenna from time to time.

Now, with that being said, The Wirecutter rated this antenna very well, and I thought I would give it a try. I live in Brooklyn, NY in a highrise building, but there are many other tall buildings in the area which sometimes makes getting a signal from two channels in particular, CBS and PBS. If I ever switched between these channels, I would have to readjust the antenna, which would also impact other channels, like NBC, etc. Most broadcasting networks are within 8 miles from my house, but since this is NYC, there are a lot of obstacles (tall buildings) in the way.

I had to place this antenna in multiple positions, with and without the amplifier until I finally found that sweet spot. I suggest you too do the same.

Unfortunately, I found that the antenna operated much better with the amplifier connected and powered on, and the antenna, lower to the ground. While the adhesive function works well, I found that if I hang the antenna from a hook, I tend to get the best picture. Not wanting to drill a hole in my wall, I got a magnetic hook, attached it to an area on my wall that had a metal rod, and just dropped the antenna on it to hang.

Now I have 65 channels, more than I am supposed to have (I have a few channels from quite far away) and 60 of the 65 channels come in with no issues. The ones that have issues are quite far away and I did not even know exist.

Now some tips:
* Take your time and place the antenna in various locations, do multiple channel searches, and scroll through the channels to make sure they all come in with no issue. Do this with the amplifier on and with the amplifier off.
* The amplifier on and off is very important. For example, with the amplifier off, I placed the antenna on my window, which was 8 feet from my TV and received all of my favorite channels without an issue. However, I did not want to tack the antenna on my window and I did not want a long cable that I would have to somehow hide and most likely extend in order to do so. When I tested the antenna on the window with the amplifier on, the gain became too powerful and ultimately made the picture on many channels distorted. Vice versa when I placed the antenna in its current position without the amplifier, barely any channels came in, however with the amplifier, everything was perfect!
* You don't need to adhesive the antenna to your wall, you can always hang it and that ultimately leads to fewer interferences.
* Place the amplifier wherever you plan on permanently tucking it or placing it while you are testing. The placement of the amplifier also impacts the antennas performance.

The only con I see with this antenna is that I wish It had a regular coaxial connection on the antenna. However, by opting to have the cable built in, you are left with a much more flexible cable and you can ultimately purchase a coax extension if you want to extend the cable. I did not dock this a * because of their lifetime warranty, so I am less worried about anything that could happen.

Works great and easy to hide

My husband and I were sick of paying so much for crappy cable that we decided to cut ties and just use our streaming services plus this antenna. The first thing I have to recommend before buying an antenna is finding out where the closest broadcast tower is to your location, too many times people buy antennas not realizing they are only good for up to 25-30 miles, which if you live in that range is good but most people will need something much stronger in order to pick up a really good signal. Where we live is about 40-43 miles from the nearest tower so to take no chances I bought the more expensive model to cover all bases. It arrived quickly and based on the reviews we were interested to see how it would live up to its rating. The antenna itself is very light and really nothing at all, they are not joking when they say you can hide this thing away. Slap it on the back of your tv with the adhesive backing or hang it on your window. I recommend putting on your window or to the direction of the tower signal you are trying to pick up. We laid it flat by the window and the signal was very scrambled and often knocked out channels, but when we put it on the window facing the signal direction it really performed. Overall we get about 30-35 channels depending on the day and I guess what they are allowing to "old school stream" across the airwaves. And while you have to chuckle at the amount of Christian and international Christian channels we pick up we also get ABC and NBC, PBS, great international news stations and a number of free movie and old re-run stations that are offered in normal cable packages. The hardware included made it quick to install and we always perform a new sweep after storms just because the connection can get scrambled in bad whether and cause channels to drop in and out but we rarely have any issues with connectivity. For this being our first antenna I am really pleased with the purchase and believe the price was justified in it. I would recommend it once you have verified this is best for your area but if you are not that far away from a tower don't feel the need to spend more money than you need to, remember that was the reason you dropped cable in the first place.
