    I have a Clearstream 4, it has a ramge of 65 miles. The KC stations are 40 to 47 miles from where I live, all of them come in very clear they all come it 1080i. And if I turn the antenna towards Topeka I can get them too, I am not sure how far the stations are but down town Topeka is about 57 miles away. BTW I got it from Amazon it is $79.01

    Does Kansas even have a hill? LOL

    Get yourself a 200′ pole and have your wife install a new antenna on top. Dont shake the pole though

    First things first.

    Where do you live and how far away from the stations Tower are you?

    Go to tv fool online. You can type in your zip code and it will tell you how far you should be able to receive tv signals.

    When you stay on the highway you don’t get to see the hills. I always thought the same about Indiana until I got off of I70

    I have a Clearstream 2 antenna and live in a valley. I can pick up most stations within a 50 mile range. Not bad considering I have the antenna in my attic. I would think the Clearstream 4 would be even better.
