The Micron is once again featured for its strength and size. Jay Palmer of Barron’s tested the Micron in New Jersey bringing in channels from greater distances and “near-perfect high-definition picture” from several local channels. He was impressed that he could simply plug in the antenna and even with trees and buildings in the way, receive a quality signal.
IN THIS AGE OF CABLE AND satellite TV, it’s easy to forget that signals are still being sent the old-fashioned way: over the air. It’s a lot cheaper than the alternatives, and the picture quality is a whole lot better than in the days of analog signals and set-top rabbit ears. It also can be a smart option if your cable service has frequent service disruptions or if you want a TV in a room that isn’t wired.
I have been testing a couple of highly regarded antennas, the ClearStream Micron and the ClearStream 2, both designed for ultra-high-frequency reception and available from a private company called Antennas Direct. Both pick up digital broadcast signals and help deliver surprisingly crisp pictures, but there are important differences between the two.
