AntennasDirect C1C HDTV Antenna Reviews

Add Your Review

Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate antennas ranking. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each antenna model. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.

We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.

Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

Summary:
I had one of those flat antennas with a built in amplifier for my Samsung HD TV. Some channels were fine, some channels were poor, often breaking up, and there was one channel that I could not get at all. I replaced it with the AntennasDirect C1C. I put it in my attic with about 25 feet of coax cable running down to my TV. All channels come in beautifully now. The Samsung TV has a built in signal power meter. With the C1C I am getting maximum bars on all locally available channels. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Great indoor reception, better than expected
Antenna web told me I needed some high powered antennas to get all the major channels in the area, but this little model got them all and from indoors to boot. I hooked up the antenna to my new Panasonic TC P42S1 with the wire included with the antenna and pointed it out a window in the direction of all the major stations. I tried moving the antenna to a point so that the signal had to go through a wall and the receptivity decreased dramatically, from about 25 to 5 channels. I\m not sure whether I\m going to mount it outside or keep it indoors, but at least it doesn\t look nasty inside.

Summary: Better than expected results
We live 45 miles northeast of Atlanta and the box the CIC ($79) came in said the range was 25 miles for indoors and 30 miles for outdoors. We use it for the indoor mode but it can also be mounted on an indoor wall or used outdoors with another antenna part in came with. We receive 9 channels but 2 of them cut out or don\t work all the time. We bought a Terk HDTV flat antenna ($49) the day before and tried it out and only got 5 channels with 2 of them with weaker signals. If you want to skip paying cable or satellite bils and don\t feel the need to have a 100 channels, then look into getting an antenna like this one.

Summary: Performed better than others we tried
I have installed 3 of these for friends and in each case the ClearStream1 performed better than every other indoor antenna they tried. More channels or more stable channels than before. The C1 Convertible can mount 3 ways - set top, wall, or on a mast with the included reflector, like the C1 sold as an outdoor model (see its reviews, too). I only learned the latter after downloading the assembly instructions from the manufacturer, Antennas Direct. Also, the mfr told me that their Micron model (new Jan 2010) has the same innards and performance, but is indoor only and lacks the C1's space-age styling. One friend's house in northeast Portland, OR is only 5 miles from the towers but in a difficult spot and he also needed a ClearStream 5 for still-VHF channels 8, 10, and 12. But at another friend's two blocks away and one story higher, the C1C picked up all the available VHF and UHF channels. Ditto at a friend's in southeast San Francisco, CA, where 7 is still VHF. The C1C amazingly also picks up UHF stations from 35 miles to the north and south. But alas, the nearby Bernal Hill blocks its view of San Bruno mountain, so even the C1C can't get the one VHF and 3 UHF channels from there.

Summary: Amazing Product
I live in the suburbs of Atlanta and live 25 - 35 miles from the HDTV signal towers. I am using the antenna indoors as I live in a condominium. The hookup was very easy and straight-forward. When I auto-scaned for stations, I was able to pull in over 20 stations. They are all crystal clear. I find this product to be an exceptional value and highly recommend it to others. A digital tuner is needed. Most HDTV's sold today have a digital tuner built in. If using with a analog TV, a seperate digital tuner will be needed. One thing I found interesting is that cable and dish signals are compressed - resulting in a signal loss. There is no signal loss using a HDTV antenna.
