Mohu - Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna - Black/White

Where I live is about 45+ miles from all major local broadcasting stations. I was looking into getting a antenna that what go about 50 miles which Mohu did and I wanted to try it out. I was also trying out the Clearstream V2 longrange Antenna (50 miles range also.), which is also good, but allot bigger, bulkier, and is directional, so make sure you are pointing it in the right direction and have clear line of site. But for the price, ease of use, and omni directional, I really like the Mohu compared to the Clearstream. I just received the box, switched antennas and the Mohu is picking up all the same channels as the Clearstream, and I don't even have the included signal amplifier connected yet that came with it. But I have heard that sometimes the signal amplifier really did not help. I would buy this for a second tv if I needed to and definitely recommend it. This is a great product and a great buy.

The Mohu is one of the top rated antennas on the market and for good reason. The installation is super easy and the signal is powerful. I am receiving 37 Over The Air stations. Another good reason to buy the Mohu is that it is manufactured in the USA by an American company in Raleigh, NC. The signal I am getting is strong and contains all the digital information about the current channel I have selected. To access this, simply press the info or detail button on your remote and a box of information will appear on the screen. The free digital reception OTA (over the air) looks much better than what is received via cable or satellite. One of the reasons for this is that the OTA signal is not compressed or degraded like cable or satellite. And you receive High Definition wherever it is available. In 2005 the Federal Government mandated that all television broadcast companies would have to cease broadcasting analog signals and switch to digital broadcasting by June 12, 2009. The cable companies and the satellite companies jumped on this and convinced many of their customers that they would need to upgrade their service. This was misleading smoke and mirrors since one of the conditions of the federal mandate was that HD and Digital TV would be made available and free to everyone receiving Over the Air signals. So for less than the cost of one month of subscriber TV you can purchase an antenna that will give you digital broadcast TV. Pretty much everything else is available via streaming, including HBO and Showtime and for a fraction of the cost. Go MOHU and pull the plug on the cable or satellite company, buy a streaming device like a Roku, Apple TV or Smart TV and save a bundle of money.

The mohu leaf antenna is the best available. It took me 5 minutes to set it up, scan for channels and start watching. I was able to pull 50 local channels and only had an issue with one channel that didn't like to come in where my antenna was. A few minutes later we found a better spot, used the integrated signal meter and had the channel up and running great. If you are thinking of cutting cable and getting an antenna the mohu leaf is the best choice. It is as thin as paper, easy to set up and easy to use.

Mohu is a good brand that comes recommended, but their Leaf 30 didn't work for us. There is a noticeable difference between the 30 and the 50, because the 50 mostly works for us. With TV antennas you want to buy the cheapest one that works for you. We live in a neighborhood with some 3-story buildings and tall trees, but everybody's situation is different! The other useful piece of info I figured out while testing 5 different antennas, was that for my house I'm probably going to need a signal booster. Hang the antenna in a good spot and plug it right into a TV and I get perfect reception. But plug the TV into a coax outlet, which runs out to the splitter in my garage, and then back to the TV, and reception is significantly worse. Long story short this antenna picks signals out of the air just great, but my house's coax cables are just too long and will need some extra boost.

In east Fullerton I'm only 26 miles as the crow flies from the major transmitters northeast of downtown Los Angeles. But I wanted the 50 mile Mohu Leaf antenna for the best chance at good reception, instead of the 30 mile version. I'm in the southeast corner of a stucco apartment building. No windows face the transmitters, and the wire mesh in stucco covered buildings has been known to absorb or block TV signals. And there are some walls between my living room and the transmitting towers. So I wasn't sure I would get enough signal strength from the major LA stations. I decided to buy a refurbished Mohu Leaf 50 (elsewhere) to save 20 dollars. I saw nothing wrong with the parts. I ended up getting about 125 channels and sub-channels, although about 90% seem to be either foreign language, shopping, or religious channels. All I really wanted was 2, 4, 7, 9, and 11. They all come in pretty well, although 7 can dropout once in a while. It took me a while to remember that my TV has a signal strength meter in the menus. So then instead of scanning channels each time I tried a different location for the antenna, I just watched the signal strength meter as I tried different antenna locations. I recommend the Mohu Leaf 50.

I refuse to lowball the ratings because I could not get this to work. I purchased this based on the rave reviews that I read across the web. I was looking for an indoor antenna as I am trying to avoid purchasing a larger outdoor antenna. Most of the TV stations in my area are apparently VHF signals and I just couldn't get the stations 23 miles away to pick up Channels 4, 5, 7, 9, etc... wouldn't work. This antenna is designed for UHF signals. It will pick up a VHF signal. I had it in my window, up high to get the best signal, but it wouldn't register any stations. I took it upstairs (second floor) and it also wouldn't pick up signals. I did take the antenna to a friend's house and was able to pick up one of the three stations in their area. Thus, I was able to confirm that the antenna worked. The design is great, easy to put together. I just do not recommend it for someone with primarily VHF signal range stations. Also, I purchased this off of Bestbuy.com with delivery to my house. I had zero issues returning it to my local Bestbuy store. Therefore, I recommend it to a friend, because it's worth trying if you're in the market for an antenna

I have been skeptical of HDTV antennas. The last antenna I had was a pair of rabbit ears and I used those in college. Now there are a flood of antennas that all claim to do the same thing. After doing my research I settled on the Mohu Leaf 50. The reason I chose this antenna is because I live outside the city limits so I didn’t think the Mohu Leaf 30 would pull in local channels. So far the Leaf 50 has served me well. Looks nice but if you don’t want to hang it you can always mount it somewhere hidden thanks to its design. Sturdy cables too. If you live close to towers then go for Leaf 30 and save a few bucks. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.

This is a fantastic antenna. I live in Alpharetta, GA, a sub-urb of Atlanta, GA. I got around 65 channels (including few radio stations). Got plenty of HD channels which include ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, ION, GPB and many more. I love the reception quality, its awesome. I had already downgraded to comcast basic pack which used to be $10. It then was increased to $20, then $30 and now its $40. Its outrageous for basic pack which can be enjoyed free. Now I'll be cutting even that and stay on internet only.
