(Until 2020, we tested in the San Francisco Bay Area, so you might see references to that location in older reviews). TechHive tests TV antennas in a location in the Washington, D.C. Its unique double figure-eight design is sure to look distinctive and it can receive signals from different directions, which is useful if you live in an area with stations in multiple places. The Clearstream 4 Max is a little larger than our top-ranked choice and wasn’t quite as good at pulling in stations but it’s still a solid antenna. It's well made, easy to assemble and supplied with all the required mounting hardware. The Clearstream 4 Max is an excellent choice for areas with strong to medium strength signals and with multiple TV transmitters in different locations.

Īs a rule of thumb, indoor antennas are suitable for areas with strong or very strong signals, the attic/outdoor antennas work in areas of medium signal strength, and the larger outdoor antennas in areas of weak signals.

Putting up an antenna is easy, but before you buy one you’ll need to figure out what channels are available where you live, how strong the signals are likely to be, and what direction they’re coming from. So, cut that cable, ditch that dish, and join the growing number of American households that are free from monthly bills for TV service.
