Picked up the Clearstream 2Max at Walmart yesterday.
15 day return policy since it's electronics.
Went with the eave mount on the north side of the house, which is where the dish was located. Used the dish cable and ground wire.

Aimed it thru the gap in the trees on the south side. The gap is south/southwest, so that worked out well for most of the Denver towers which are in the foothills west of Golden.
We figured the 6 Cheyenne channels to the north would be a bonus as those signals would have to fight thru that tree.

Adjusted the antenna probably half a dozen times, checking signal quality each time.
We are getting the 6 Cheyenne channels clearly. (nice surprise)
Did a new channel scan and got 58 channels.
21 of those channels we have selected to skip.

So, we can surf 37 channels. No issues so far, a second or two of pixelation on a few channels, but it cleared up quickly. Had some wind, clouds and rain today and everything was fine.
Signal strength is not super high, but at 50+ miles from the towers the picture is crisp and clear with hardly any pixelation.
So far, so good.

Thanks for the help.
