I live in a pretty flat area a large metro area...this thing at the peak of my one story roof was able to pulling 49 HD OTA channels. So it come with a pre-amp that was perfect for the run of cable outside to the the interior tv. If you plan on running to multiple tv and for some distance, highly recommend adding a power amplifier in-between the preamp and sources.

Mohu makes some of the best antennas available. I currently own a Mohu Leaf but this was my first time trying out the Mohu Beam. For those new to OTA (over the air) channels, all you really need to know is that an antenna is needed to catch those channels. Depending on where you live, you might be able to get by with a cheap option, but most folks would benefit from a powered antenna like this one. This powered antenna was easy to set up. It can be mounted on a wall (indoor or outdoor), or you can use the included kickstand to set it up on a flat surface. It can be powered using a USB port on your TV or other device. If you don't have a USB port, there is a plug included that lets you use any electrical outlet, but using a USB port on your TV keeps the wiring cleaner and simpler. Both a 10ft and 6ft coaxial cable are included so that you can use one as an extender. I live on the outskirts of a big city (San Antonio) and was able to pick up all the major networks I was looking for and a large amount of other digital channels with the Mohu Beam. I didn't have to place it in a window to get good reception. Simply placing it behind my TV worked fine. The only thing I didn't like about this device was that it was difficult to connect the coaxial cable to the antenna because of the location of the port. People with larger hands will have the most difficulty screwing it in. This antenna is a great buy, especially for those that have difficulty picking up OTA channels with a basic antenna.

Be sure to go on Mohu's website to see which antenna is best for where you live. I live on top of a hill, and I don't know if this improves the amount of channels I can get or not, but after multiple scans I consistently hit 39+ channels including ABC, Fox, and even KBCW (The CW) which is really nice! I only wish it included Food Network, Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel, some type of sports channel like ESPN/TNT, and HGTV as well, but that's asking a bit too much. And of the 39+ channels, not all of them had content. Some would be the emergency broadcast system color screen, or multiple channels of TV advertisements to buy products, and channels like HSN where you can buy products by calling the number shown on the TV. This definitely allows you to reach your basic channel needs with a variety of mixed cultural channels as well. I was able to pick up a Korean and Japanese channel as well that has cartoons which was interesting. Set up is a breeze, and the beam itself looks nice placed below, behind, or above your tv. It does the job as a basic cable provider, but if you want more channels, you'll likely need a stronger antenna or cable/satellite service. Otherwise, if you just want the news, reruns of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. CW shows, and late night shows for a 1 time payment, this does a great job! Highly recommend it.
