  • In this video I do a quick overview on the Clear TV Premium HD antenna. Then I connect it to my TV for a scan and also do a comparison to a similar antenna I got for free when I purchased a USB TV tuner for my laptop,
    Do you own or have used this antenna? Let us know in the comment section below and remember to like and subscribe for more cord cutter news.

    This works people but you have to find the right direction of the transmitter ,I picked up 47 channels in one night crystal clear and in stereo ...I was surprised how clear all these channels can come in I enjoy watching my favourite shows for free no cable Bills. By the way for the very best results hook up a preamp along with 2 antenna clear TV's this will bring in the stations stronger ..... enjoy clear tv everybody !

    Just seen the commercial for Clear TV Premiere 4K on Decades channel # 182 on my local Spectrum Charter Cable I loved the music when you were trying to see how many channels you could get with each antenna!!!!! from South Louisiana.

      @Tru 319 Just leave it in if it works. It's just a paper clip and can't cause any harm. This is just an input. Most antennas only use one connection of these 2 for a coax connection.

    I bought the Clear TV Premium HDTV Antenna for EXACTLY $9.99 at the Veterans Canteen at Durham VA Hospital and I pick up 59 channels in my kitchen, no windows in my kitchen, with about 2-3 channels with bad reception. 😊 I live on the top floor, 3 level apartment building with the lower level underground and I get GREAT reception. 😊 It works for some, it doesn't for others, bottom line. 😊 Don't bad mouth a product just because it doesn't work for you because it just might work better for someone else. 🤔 Choices...🤔🤔🤔

    Hello thank you for showing us the results, from clear TV. But next time can you add the details. i.e. How is the pic, could you see all 30 channels clearly, does it have continual interference. You said it had 30 channels, but you only showed us two. Turn to all the channels so we can see. Thank you.

    In my opinion, Clear TV promotional ads are intentionally misleading. To begin with, the term "digital antenna" is false. A Television antenna is essentially a piece of metal (or an array
    of pieces of metal) cut to lengths that will capture radio signals within a certain frequency range (or multiple frequency ranges) of the RF spectrum. There is absolutely nothing about a receiving antenna that distinguishes whether an RF signal is digital or analog, much less that can favor a digital signal. By their use of the term "digital antenna" as a selling point, Clear TV is deceptively asserting falsehood in effort to convince potential customers of an advantage that doesn't exist. Likewise, the company's assertion that their antenna products are "4K Ready" is more of the same. An antenna simply cannot distinguish or provide tailored benefit to a 4K digital signal. To the antenna, an RF signal is merely electromagnetic energy on a particular frequency. Through such deceptive claims, the manufacturer of Clear TV antenna products has been manipulating folks for years into purchasing their indoor antenna devices. Please understand that I'm not suggesting those products will not serve as functional indoor television antennas. I'm saying that the company knowingly pitches their mostly-nothing-special products through hypeful mischaracterizations and false assertions. And I call that scamming.
    Please realize that receiving antennas in and of themselves do not possess the capability to process, decompress, or assemble signal data. That is, of course, unless one of them happens to
    be equipped with digital processing circuitry and appropriate firmware (which would provide a separate function from that of the antenna itself). That said, digital signal decoding/processing is neither the role nor the function of a stand-alone receiving antenna. Instead, and specifically in the case of a digital television, it's a function performed by the receiver's digital decoder circuitry (i.e., its binary processing stage) in conjunction with specialized onboard firmware, which are both unrelated to the function of a connected antenna beyond its signal source facilitation.
    I won't spend much time on the further manipulations contained in Clear TV's ad promotions, such as the false but persistent implication that their antenna products may somehow facilitate
    cable or other pay-tv programming reception. Such a feat would of course be impossible. I'll simply say that in my opinion Clear TV's ad promotions have been replete with false statements and manipulative comments seemingly structured to enhance the company's bottom line. Besides the deception in advertising, in my view Clear TV antenna products are simply unremarkable. Their benefits can easily be duplicated (or even surpassed) by combining around 30 minutes of time, a few feet of copper wire, some duct tape, a sheet of cardboard, rigid plastic, plexiglass, or plywood, and a short piece of coaxial cable or some 300 ohm twin-lead with an appropriate RF connector.
    Lastly, it is important to understand that when comparing any two indoor television antennas the digital signal reception quality from them should seem virtually identical as long as the
    digital binary streams (i.e., all of the 1's and 0's) are fully detected by the device's decoder stage. Generally, a digital television's RF receiver will pass the stream data to the decoder stage where, as long as the signal's integrity remains intact, decoding will occur just as efficiently as if the data came directly from a DVD disk or other local media source. This means that a weak digital television signal, whose reception quality would appear snowy (i.e., noisy) if it were an analog signal, can produce identically superb quality to that experienced when viewing the same data stream from a local DVD disk. That is to say, with digital broadcast television, a weak (and noisy) signal should play on your screen at DVD quality. In other words, since a digital television can often interpret all of the 1's and 0's superimposed on such a weak, noisy digital signal, in many cases there's virtually no benefit in being closer to the broadcast source or having a better antenna. The signal level need only remain slightly above the pixelation/*cliff effect* threshold point for said optimal digital quality to ensue.

    The above is not to say that a more sensitive replacement antenna (i.e., one with a greater gain value) that has better resonance on the channels/frequencies being tested will not result in stronger signals for a television's receiver and thus, perhaps, a greater number of available channels. Such an improved antenna may do just that. My point is simply this: Barring any significant packet loss, a weak digital television signal from a given broadcast source received through an inferior antenna can easily render the same level of digital quality at the receiver (the TV) that a better antenna nearer the same broadcast source will produce. Stated another way, both the inferior antenna with its weak signal and the better antenna with its stronger signal should render indistinguishable video and audio quality from the same broadcast stream. Drop-out periods, pixelations and screen freezes will only happen when a signal dips below the minimum threshold (cliff effect).
    Clear TV indoor antennas are merely conductive materials cut to length. The false assertions and misleading characterizations in the company's promotional ads are why I personally consider their marketing methods scammish.

      I keep coming across videos like this one. From the comment section it looks like folks are thinking that it's a good product. Nothing could be further from the truth. Videos like this one only prove that even a joke of an antenna will work fine when you are near the broadcast towers.
