1. Distance is determined primarily by whether you have line-of-sight to the signal. Don't delude people on reception distance without mentioning terrain problems. 2. Often, an antenna will bring in more channels, & sometimes clearer ones with the amplifier turned off. Try it both ways. Mine brings in about 60 watchable channels with the amplifier & over 80 without. You should make a note of this when hyping amplifiers. They can actually degrade some signals. 3. Despite multi-directional claims, most TV antennas are directional to greater or lesser degree - usually greater - so placement can be critical. 4. A make-or-break decision in some areas is how well the antenna can bring in Lo-V and Hi-V VHF stations. I live just east of Philly. All three major networks & PBS have antennas side by side west of the city, 17 miles from my apartment, at exactly 318° magnetic. Luckily, I have a west-facing window next to my TV close to the correct angle. However, while NBC (channel 10) and CBS (channel 3) really up-converted & broadcast in the UHF range at channels 28 & 30, ABC cheaps out & still broadcasts 1080i on its old VHF Lo-V channel 6 & PBS is at Hi-V channel 12. Despite these channels' towers being close enough to be enclosed by a couple of football fields football field, with direct line-of-sight, I can bury the cheapest mudflap antenna in a bottom drawer in an internal room & bring in NBC & CBS clear as a bell in 1080i. For ABC, I have to put a high-quality mudflap on the window & shim it so it's facing exactly toward ABC & PBS to get a signal - and if conditions are not excellent or the antenna has shifted even a degree or so, I'll either get ABC & PBS with horizontal line pixillation & breakup & sound drop-outs or will get a "channel not found" signal. This is with or without amplifier & even in-line coax noise filter. I can't mount an external antenna because I live in the fifth floor of an apartment building & they prohibit external antennas or residents' roof antennas. I'll have to investigate each of your recommendations independently. Thanks for the video, but it really wasn't enough evaluation of any of the antennas.
Best antenna in the market today is the clearstream 4 cost about 100 dollars....you get about 98 channels crystal clear indoors ..depends on the area that you live trust me l have one
With you tube and Hulu both between $70- 75 a month if anybody makes a good indoor antenna they're going to clean up and make a fortune. These prices are outrageous and un fair during recession and the pandemic.
These antennas are ONLY for OTA (over the air) antennas. They will only pick up standard stations and their substations (like 2.1 for the major station & 2.1...2.n for substations , not the kind of stations you get on cable or streaming services. like ESPN or CNN or MSNBC. One thing to consider that this doesn't cover is that you shouldn't buy an antenna that comes with a hair-thin coax cable. Get a good 75ohm RG6 quad-shield cable (about a half-inch diameter). Some antennas come with good or poor antennas built in, but some have an antenna mount, so even if they supply a too-thin cable, you can buy a better one for it. Amazon, among others, sells these.

I recently upgraded my patio doors. Now I get no signal. If I open the door I do get a good signal. Makes no sense?

I like the clearstream 4 max

I wasted like $40 on mine at Walmart but it's as good as having it outside just about

No such thing as HD tv antenna or digital antenna .Antennas are designed to pick up broadcast frequencies for uhf or vhf .End of story
Showing ads for the antennas is not a review.
Did you watch the video? There are pros and cons for each. Its not the most indepth review, but it's more than an ad.
Need longer range for country
There are many antenna that are caca where you can get one Chanel and no expend 70 .oo yost put a little gure in the back and sabe todo.
