The Mohu Airwave provides a real nice alternative to wired antennas. The guide is quite useful and fairly easy to use. I wish they would have a slightly more powerful range for my situation, but still pick up 40 channels in our market. Looking forward to their future upgrades.

I like the concept

I like the concept, but the execution is poor. I figured that this would alleviate the wire going from my TV to the closest window.
The only device that it currently works with, in my house, is the ROKU on our secondary TV. That said, the ROKU is able to find tons of channels...then software won't let me watch any of them. I updated all the ROKU's software this morning and the results are the same.
I bought this primarly because our other TV is Android. There currently isn't an application for Android. They say the app is coming in the future, but nobody can really say when.
So needless to say, I've got a $150 antenna that won't work with our primary TV, or any of our tablets, and it apparently doesn't really like our ROKU either. I understand I'm an 'early adopter,' but this product failed to meet any of my expectations. I'm going to give it a week for things to iron out, then it's back to the store.

Ordered the product on announcement, waited about 4-5 weeks to receive; very disappointed. I gave it a good week of fiddling, trying different placements, etc. When it came down to the simple fact that my $40 digital antenna produced 3 times the channel grabs...it was time to ditch the Mohu. It went back to Best Buy. Very disappointed. If, like most people these days are cutting the chord, this product will not aid in your adventure.

Advertise as a antenna that could give out signals through out your house wirelessly but range is poor for the cost!!!

Airwave by Mohu was sent out in beta form. There are several issues dealing with the app on Roku, plus the Wi fi transmission from the brick to the app is still being worked on. Lastly the video lags behind the audio. Mohu is a reputable company, but this product was not ready for distribution. It will probably be an excellent product within the next 6months to a year, but I would not advise purchasing it until the bugs are fixed.

This product has so much promise but the technical problems still need to be worked out. I'm in range of at least 8 signals with my current indoor antenna. The system recognized the channels but the buffering delay between the MOHU unit and my devices was laughable making programs unwatchabe.

Instructions were easy to find and follow online. The problem was the reception. We first had 16 channels and tried to find more by moving the antenna throughout the house to no avail. Moved the antenna to the original position and now could only find 10 channels. Returned item the next day.

First, very few channels and most of them are different languages. Also uses a lot of bandwidth so most of the time its buffering.

We have a Roku 1, and the Mohu kept forgetting the channel line up every time we turned on the tv. We didn’t want to keep reprogramming it, and it was painfully slow even though we have fast wifi. We liked everything about the antenna and the appearance of the app, but it just wouldn’t work with our old Roku.

Great concept but it currently has limited capability. The Airwave is not currently compatible with Apple products or Smart TV's. The apps are still being developed and there is no definitive time as to when they will be available.

This product is not ready to hit the market. Preordered and it was delayed several times. Once I finally received the airwave, it did not meet expectations. Setup was relatively easy. When trying to watch television the airwave continuously froze and buffered. After contacting customer service, Mohu said they hoped it would work once they had an official Roku channel available. Had to return the product.

i purchased this antenna the day it was released and had trouble getting a good location. Had to go online for instructions. Had to do a channel scan multiple times across Roku and fire stick before it would finally work. Plugged directly into router via Ethernet cable, and the power box does get very warm almost hot. Next day turned on tv only to find channel not available. Guide works but no channels. Unplugged and plug back in works fine. After about 3-4 hrs same issue again. Had to unplug and plug back in, works again. Next morning same thing. Emailed support, but still waiting on an answer. Think I will return as it’s not very user friendly. This needs to go back in beta and work out some more bugs. It’s Not ready for prime time yet.

Could not hold a single station for more than a few seconds after moving antenna to more than 20 different locations. Am near BSU. Concept great, customer support was outstanding! Wish it could have worked.

I didn't have any issues setting up the Airwave to work with my Roku. Every channel just shows for a few seconds then buffers continuously.

This is a great idea for a product. Having all your local channels that you don't get with Sling, DIRECTTV NOW, or elsewhere all on the same device as those streaming apps. No input switching to the digital tuner. No digital tuner for every room. I must say I am quite amazed by Mohu. They took a very shaky launch and responded to it very quickly. Support helped out a lot and many firmware updates are helping making this product work better.

If you just want "so so" quality, this is for you. If you want SOLID HD, do not buy. Also, no surround sound.
