Antennas Direct has received praise for its ClearStream UHF TV antennas, but has been criticized for not offering a VHF option, other than traditional Yagi antennas. With many high-VHF analog stations returning to their VHF channels for post-transition DTV operation, there’s a need for a better VHF antenna. Antennas Direct has responded with a new member of the ClearStream family, the “C5 high gain digital VHF antenna.”

The published specifications say the antenna has a maximum gain of 8.4 dBi and claims it’s the “smallest high gain VHF antenna on the market.”
