The antennas Directs Clearstream 2V and Clearstream Eclipse are two of the most popular options for streaming media. They both have a clear signal and are easy to use. However, there are some key differences between them that may affect your experience.
The Antennas Direct Eclipse is one of the most comprehensive indoor kits available, with many useful extras like glue and a new cable included in the box. It drew in more channels than any of the other models put to the test. Antennas Direct’s ClearStream 2V Antenna is a powerful device that’s simple to set up. It can save you a few dollars each month while still allowing you to watch many of your favorite shows. You may receive high-definition channels for free over the air with this antenna.
Let’s have a look at both of them in terms of appearance, functioning, and price.
Appearance
The ClearStream Eclipse and ClearStream 2V both have a sleek, modern design. They both have a clear, concise display that is easy to read. They also both come with a built-in microphone and speaker, which makes them perfect for use in noisy environments.
The ClearStream Eclipse is a sleek, circular antenna that is black on one side and white on the other. It is meant to be attached to any surface and can be rotated to best match your signal. It is easy to use and comes with a removable adhesive backing. ..
The Clearstream 2V is a large, circular antenna that features a design that is reminiscent of something that would be launched into space. The parts of the antenna must be assembled, which is a simple task, but I kept thinking to myself throughout the assembly process that that part couldn’t possibly be essential. In contrast to the Eclipse, the 2V comes with parts that are ready to use, which makes it more appealing to the sight. ..
Functioning
The antennas we tested both indoors and here are what we have to say about them. The indoor antennas performed better than the outdoor antennas, but the outdoor antennas performed better than the both of the indoor antennas.
The ClearStream Eclipse missed a large network station around 24 miles away and had poor reception on green channels. The placement of the antenna was not of much importance, it performed the same way at different locations.
The Clearstream 2V performed better than the Eclipse when it came to channels being received, but it was not as good as we had hoped. The channels that were received with the 2V were generally choppy and pixelated. The antenna placement was very important, which makes sense given its distinct designs. So, those utilizing the 2V as an outside antenna will have greater luck because it performed better when oriented at the station without being blocked by barriers.
Price
In terms of price, the ClearStream Eclipse and ClearStream 2V antennas are both about average for their type.
Antennas Direct Clearstream 2V is a new, improved version of the popular Clearstream Eclipse antenna. Both antennas are designed to provide clear and consistent reception of digital TV and radio signals, but the Clearstream 2V has several features that make it better suited for some users. The main difference between the Clearstream 2V and the Clearstream Eclipse is that the Clearstream 2V has a built-in amplifier, which makes it better suited for users who have weak or low-powered signals. The amplifier also makes it possible to receive more channels than with the Clearstream Eclipse. The other main difference between the two antennas is price. The Clearstream 2V costs more than the Clearstream Eclipse, but it is worth the extra money if you need an antenna that can handle stronger signals. ..
Conclusion
We put both antennas to the test, and here are our final opinions on them. Although the ClearStream Eclipse’s promised range was not met, it performed admirably for an indoor antenna in our rigorous testing environment. We think it’s a great offer for the price range. It receives a bonus point for having the most aesthetically pleasing appearance of any antenna we’ve tested. The Eclipse provides consistent performance, a good range, and a stylish design. It comes highly recommended. ..
The ClearStream 2V didn’t impress us. It didn’t seem to provide a big step up in range to justify its higher price. The 2V is also bulkier and unsightly indoors. We expected more from the 2V, even though our test region serves as a form of antenna trial by fire. ..
