RELUCTANT 5 Stars

Channel Master asked me to review (for the second time) my recent purchase, but with them (again). Did they delete my first one already? The other review went something just like this. I was very impressed by the first rate secure packing of this meager looking FM antenna. I live 35 miles north of NYC and by simply testing the antenna inside the house it sucks all my stations in with great clarity unlike before. Can't wait to get it outside. Unfortunately, the 5 star quality antenna does not accurately represent the -2 star worthy interaction with customer service. It is simply too bad that their ineptness is such a common occurrence in the malaise that runs wild in corporate America. If you can stomach such nonsense, it is a great antenna to purchase for FM reception. They claim this antenna is made in the USA!

I ordered the $10.00 FLATenna 35 and it worked great! I can say this without a doubt because as trite and cliche as it might sound I wasn't receiving all of the OTA channels. After installing it, it actually picked up more channels than I had before! Is the FLATenna 35 perfect? Of course not, but in my humble opinion it's pretty close! Try it and perhaps it'll make a believer out of you too!

Streem+ Not for rural OTA use buyer beware

I have been a long time customer of Channel Master. I have always recommended and used their products for all OTA (Over The Air) TV products and accessories. Their antennas, rotors, amplifiers, tuners and DVR's (Digital Video Recorder/s), have been my go to choice for 40 years. I have never had a bad experience with their support either this is all about one product
The Stream+ DVR
I am not sure why a "Cut The Cord" OTA DVR could be called such when the majority of the OTA DVR features will not work with out a internet connection. Even with a constant internet connection the Google Guide only allows program information from one market to be used. I you are in a rural area and use a rotor to access programing from multiple markets you are totally hosed.
It appears Google Guide and an outdated Android OS are the cause of most of these problems. Channel Master is the first to admit this but they take no responsibility for the issues. You have to report your issues to Google. Apparently Google could care less about this product that was made for a streaming only box IE Google TV.

I bought the Stream+ in November as a gift for my 88-YO Mother and 65-YO sister. Unfortunately I was not able to visit and see the issues they were having for my self until April. Too late to return even though it never could work as advertised.
I was also very disappointed with CM to find out there are lots of other bugs I have read about. Like not being able to watch a show from the beginning while it is still recording but I never got that far. Byer beware this is nothing like their previous OTA DVR.
Channel Master was always better than this I find it hard to believe they shipped anything this poor. It is probably kind of OK for urban areas and streaming not sure. I know they collect peoples opinions but they are not available to the public. That is why I started this review.
