We are surrounded by water, trees and other obstacles, and 44 miles away from the closest antenna. We recently cut the cord with a satellite tv supplier that continuously raised their prices. I was not expecting much when I tested the antenna inside my attic initially, but was quite surprised by the clear reception for all 3 of our tv's. Once I determined that this small antenna would satisfy our needs I proceeded to the roof for a permanent mount. Prior to testing the antenna I went to https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps to determine the location of the nearest towers. I then utilized the compass on my iPhone to determine the direction of 105° from the location of the antenna's front face. If you use your phone's compass make sure that the compass "True North" setting is turned off. Tools: I took a pair of pliers, 5 in 1 screwdriver, 1/2” wrench and 1/2” socket wrench to the roof. 1. First remove the arm that extends in front of the satellite dish using the 1/2” wrench. 2. Next, unscrew the coax cable inside the arm. When unscrewing the cable in the arm, save the small rubber piece that is on the end of the cable to reuse. 3. Then, loosen the 1/2” satellite dish mounting bolts where it attaches to the mount pole. 4. After the bolts are loosened, lift the entire satellite dish off of the mount pole that is attached to the roof. 5. I would recommend attaching the mounting plate to the rear of the Mohu antenna prior to getting on the roof, but it was easier for me to carry everything to the roof in the box not put together because I was by myself. If you haven’t attached the mounting bracket to the back of the antenna do that now with a Phillips head screwdriver. 6. Attach the other half of the mounting bracket to the back of the antenna with the butterfly nuts turned once. 7. Slide the mounting bracket over the mounting pole that the satellite dish was mounted to. 8. Make sure the antenna face is pointed in the direction of the antennas that you would like to receive from. Although this antenna is listed as multi-directional, I did not find that to be the case. 9. Secure the butterfly nuts tightly to ensure that the antenna will not move. There are options for a rotating antenna, but we did not find it necessary. I used the same coaxial cable that was used for our satellite dish, along with the same splitters. I did remove one splitter because we eliminated a tv. I also used the Mohu supplied amplifier provided with this antenna. Make sure you follow the directions and install the amplifier before the splitter if you use a splitter. In less than 30 minutes I had the Mohu antenna mounted in place of the satellite dish, and all 3 tv's scanned and programmed. For the price and ease of installation, this antenna is a great buy. Our local tv stations are much clearer with this antenna than they ever were with the satelittle tv!

When we cut the cord and the expense of first satellite then fiber optics, we went the way of streaming. But we still wanted certain shows that required an antenna. This antenna was suggested by someone who has one. I looked at others but since it was suggested I figured why not. We are elderly so my husband was not going to climb a ladder to install this. We did hire someone, an electrician, and he did all the climbing, wiring, etc. Actually, his workers did the climbing up 28 feet to the peak of the house. We figured the higher the better and since someone else was doing it, why not. As soon as it was set, we went to the tv's and let them search. Came back with over 65 channels, some we don't care about but the ones we wanted are all there. Pictures are perfect on both TV's. One issue, NBC seems to be a freak channel in many ways. We had hard rain and 60 mph winds yesterday and we did have an issue with NBC. ABC and CBS were fine. We will wait and see what happens during a 'normal' rain. If necessary the antenna may need to be readjusted. Otherwise, we are very happy with this Sail antenna.

Bought this antenna and mounted it outside on the roof. Setup was pretty straightforward and it was up and running in no time at all. Had the leaf version and thought it worked well for a indoor antenna. After scanning received all locals with 100% signal. Total channels reception is 61 at this point, Some from Batavia, buffalo and Syracuse all come in with solid good clear picture. Only cons were the mount is flimsy and does not support the massive antenna in the wind well. Highly recommend a 6' mast with heavy duty wall mount to secure it along with grounding wire. I spent an additional 30+ dollars for the hard ware at home depot and could not be happier..

So far so good with this antenna in eastern Tennessee. About 40 miles east of Knoxville and after scanning for channels I picked up approximately 20 channels including 3 of the 4 major networks, only CBS missing and all the channels are crystal clear. The only con that I can see is that the amplifier must be plugged in to receive these channels so l might have to look into getting a backup amplifier in case this one fails.

This antenna was well worth the money. I get all of the local channels I was expecting in a clear digital picture. I have tried a couple of cheaper antennas and would have to move them to get different channels but the mohu gets all of them without having to fiddle with direction.
