- What is the difference between the ClearStream 2MAX and the 4MAX?
- The 2MAX is a smaller two-element antenna aimed at strong-signal areas and easy indoor or attic mounting. The 4MAX adds elements for more gain and is built for outdoor mounting where signals are weaker or farther away.
- Is the DB8e better than the ClearStream antennas?
- The DB8e is multidirectional, so it pulls in stations from several directions without precise aiming, which suits markets with transmitters spread across the horizon. ClearStream models are directional and generally more compact, so they reward careful aiming with strong gain in one direction.
- Can these antennas be mounted outdoors?
- Most ClearStream models, including the 1MAX, 2MAX, 2V, 4MAX and MAX-XR, are rated for indoor and outdoor use. The long-range UHF attic model is designed for attic or outdoor mounting, and the 40-inch universal mast is sold for rooftop setups.
- Do I need a separate amplifier or power supply?
- No. These are passive antennas and work with the coax you run to your TV or tuner. An amplifier helps mainly on long cable runs or when splitting to several TVs, not as a substitute for a larger antenna.
- What warranty does Antennas Direct offer?
- Antennas Direct backs its antennas with a limited lifetime warranty on most models, covering manufacturing defects rather than damage from storms, improper mounting or modified hardware. Keep your proof of purchase for a claim.
- Are there Antennas Direct discount codes?
- Deal.ai checks what Antennas Direct products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
