Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this for my brand new Roku tv in order to get local cable stations. I was amazed to be able to get 130 channels without having to pay for cable on my Roku 55 inch TV. It has worked very well even though my apartment walls prevent signals from connecting from the router which is located in my walk in closet to our electronic devices and we have to walk around the house in order to try and find a better signal. The only time I’ve had to reset the device is when we turn off the breaker so we can reset the router however each time I can get a minimum of 130 channels or more which is amazing. I also was able to get it on sale on my Best Buy credit card so that was a plus. I have a bookshelf which is about 5-6 feet away from my Roku tv so I’ve been able to prop up the Mohu antenna behind my shelf next to the window as the photo shows which gives it the best signal area in my room. I would recommend it to anybody who is looking for an antenna to get access to local channels and more.

Easy and simple. Plug it in, hook it up, then set it towards the direction that give the best reception. The images are clean, defined without static.

Powered antenna works great! Now even channel 2 comes in good

Live 50 miles NW of Chicago and can get ABC, NBC, FOX, PBS, WGN, UPN, and a host of other local channels. CBS (WBBM) does not come in so I sprung for Paramount with Live TV which includes CBS. Cost the unit will pay for itself over time.

My cable company is fighting with the local NBC affiliate (and vice versa) and has been cut off. I decided to take a chance on an antenna as there are a few live programs I like to watch. I did some research and the Mohu gets great reviews so I took the plunge. I did not want to mess with a roof or attic install, just something that sits by the TV. The Arc is perfect for this. It’s about the size of a sheet of paper (on the right in the photo). I get great reception and a ton of OTA channels (your mileage may vary). Of course you can’t schedule recordings, etc without getting Tivo or such, but for now, suits me fine. In fact, so well that I am seriously considering cutting the cable when my cable contract expires.

I just needed channels for local news stations. Antenna works great for ABC, NBC and CBS. You get a lot of other channels as well but that was what I was mostly concerned about getting. Hated paying cable bill! No more! I stream through my WiFi Hulu, amazon and Netflix.

Great product…love Best Buy products.. I have bought tv and sound bars from Best Buy

Pros Good reception for its size Amplified Amplification improves station picture quality/stability Freestanding or wall mountable Easy to read signal meter Simple design doesn’t detract if left in the open Cons Doesn’t include USB power adapter for the price Doesn’t reach any more channels than non-amplified Confusing mistake in instructions Doesn’t include USB Power adapter Very sensitive to orientation and objects near it Cable is built in and not replaceable Mohu is nearly synonymous with off air TV. There are multiple options, but when searching through forums and reviews the name Mohu is mentioned often. Most of their designs are very sleek can be installed without creating an eyesore like the bunny ears on older TVs. The latest is the Mohu Arc Pro, which is based off the Mohu Arc but adds an amplifier, a signal strength meter, and 20 miles of additional range. Design The design is just as the name implies. It is a simple, flat panel antenna that has been curved back into an arc shape. The coax cable is non-removable and is built into the unit. A stand/wall mount is included and snaps into slots on the back. Also included is an optional signal amplifier to boost the signal strength. Power is provided via a USB connection on the cable, but a USB power adapter is not included. If your TV either doesn’t have USB or the USB doesn’t provide power, then you will need to plan on purchasing a USB power adapter if you don’t already have a spare. Setup You can set the Arc Pro either on a flat surface, standing up, or hang it on a wall using the screw slots on the back of the stand. The stand is very light so if you opt for placing standing up make sure it is a safe place as it can easily fall over when bumped or shaken. The included signal amplifier is installed between the antenna cable and the TV. In some cases, it might be unnecessary but without it the signal strength meter doesn’t work. The signal strength meter has no way to know what signal you are picking up so one can only assume it just indicates how strong the overall signal is. When adjusting, the signal meter can be very sensitive to people or electrical devices nearby. So, when testing, it is best to step back and wait for a couple of seconds to determine the actual signal strength. Performance The box says 60-mile range but installing any antenna indoors presents challenges to performance. Mohu’s outdoor omnidirectional version has the same listed range and is installed in the same area can pick up 78 stations with 26 stable. The Arc Pro picks up a maximum of 19 stations with 14 stable. A more direct comparison would be with an indoor non-amplified leaf style antenna. While this style picks up 14 stations with an average signal strength of 2 out of 5, the Arc Pro improves this average a signal of 4 to 5 and noticeably fewer artifacts or dropouts. The five additional stations the Arc Pro allows are intermittent with heavy artifacts and so they don’t add to the total channel count. Final Thoughts It must be said that if your priority is maximum signal strength, then you should look at Mohu’s external omnidirectional antennas. It is hard to compare anything indoors to the advantages of an antenna outdoors with no obstructions. However; if your priority is sleek design in a small package indoors, then the Arc Pro can serve you well. Just be sure to keep your expectations in check. This won’t necessarily bring you more channels than a standard antenna, but it will help you find optimum placement faster and help you get solid reception for those stations when compared to its non-amplified counterpart. If you are looking for solid reception indoors in a small package, the Mohu Arc Pro warrants consideration.

Occasion interference—limited channels. Works best near window—I was only able to pick up about 4 away from window; no outlet of space near windows in my setup room. Needs AC adapter that is not included in box.

Works great. Before I was not able to watch channel 8 fox, but now I get that channel crystal clear along with multiple channels I oiling see before.

This is the best antenna I have ever purchased in 10 years. Reception is great even though I live in a low-lying area surrounded by trees and homes that are taller than me I still get good reception whether the wind is blowing or not.

The Mohu Arc Pro is an amplified indoor TV antenna with a 60 mile effective range. This does not have the flexible paper thin construction that is found in most of Mohu’s offerings. I plugged my street address into Mohu’s website, and it told me I could get between 41 and 58 channels (had to guess which antenna was the most similarly spec’d to the Arc Pro). At the time the Arc Pro was not listed but it gave I have my Arc connected to my Xbox One via the Hauppage OTA tuner made for the Xbox. The Arc fully supports 1080p and is 4K ready. This is my first OTA antenna, so I don’t have any background to compare performance in my home. However, I can share my experience, and how it may relate to others. Design The Arc Pro has a stylish and modern design that doesn’t look out of place around an entertainment center. The antenna itself comes with an attached 16ft coaxial cord. The Arc Pro also comes with the new FirstStage amplifier, which claims to provide a clearer picture through improved signal processing and noise reduction. The amplifier is powered via the integrated USB cable. If your TV has a powered USB port you can plug it in there, or you will have to supply your own USB charger. I have several lying around, so this wasn’t a big deal for me. The antenna comes with a stand that props it up on a table or has keyhole slots for wall mounting. Hardware for wall mounting is not included. I opted for wall mounting mine since I didn’t have an available surface to set it on. The front of the Arc has a vertical row of 4 green LED’s at the bottom. This is the signal strength indicator – 4 lit up lights means you have the best reception. I do have a couple of gripes about the design. It would have been nice to have a coax jack on the antenna instead of having a hardwired cable. I currently use a coax coupler because the cable was 1 foot short of what I needed. Same goes for the USB cable in the amplifier. Give me a port to plug in my own cable for whatever length I need. The USB cable was 6 feet away from my laundry room PDU strip – which meant I need to buy a USB extension cable or use a plain old AC extension cord like I am currently using. Testing I live in a western suburb of St. Louis. The general thinking for me then was that most towers would be found to my east (confirmed this on otadtv.com for the tower locations). Without hooking the Mohu up to my TV, I simply powered it up with just the amplifier attached. I went to various rooms in my house testing which rooms provided the best signal. I was not surprised when the eastern side of my house (kitchen actually) proved to obtain the best signal (3-4 lights illuminated on the signal meter). Unfortunately, I had no way to get the cord from that room into my living room in any way that resembled a proper installation. I did test it though with the cord just running through the middle of my floor. I tested it on both the Xbox tuner as well as my TV tuner. With 3-4 signal lights I got 35 channels on my TV and 38 on my Xbox – not sure why I had a discrepancy. Neither of these get up to the 41 channels let alone 58 that I should potentially receive. I ended up moving my Arc to my laundry room where the distribution splitter for my old cable TV was located. This location is not as good as my best spot (lower level in a split-level house, but at a window) as it only gets 2 signal lights. However, I can send the signal all over my house from this location vs. being locked down to one screen. I tested again in this location (the amplified cable splitter made no difference on performance I found), and my Xbox pulled 33 channels. I lost 5 channels overall, but they were ones I honestly didn’t care about. I still receive ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, PBS, and a couple of others that I will watch occasionally. I did find that I could fool the signal lights into thinking it had a better signal. I laid the antenna down on my wire shelving in my laundry room. I was getting 4 lights, so I scanned for channels. It only brought up 27, so the signal lights are not the end all indicator for your full reception. I found it best to scan several times in several places to see where my signal was most consistent. Especially if you are considering wall mounting. If you can wait, try testing it during good and bad weather before settling on a final location. Cloud cover will affect what you receive – I didn’t lose channels, but a few did become choppy/pixelated during a storm. Picture Quality I have watched mostly HD channels since setting the Arc up. The picture looks great across all the HD channels I have. I was actually fairly surprised at how good the picture was, and was expecting some graininess or choppiness to accompany the image. Outside of a bad thunderstorm last week, the picture was clear and sharp. Overall I wasn’t sure what to expect since this was my first OTA TV antenna. I am certainly happy with the picture quality. I know, since I cut the cord and switched to just Netflix and Hulu 4 years ago I pretty much lost all contact with any primetime stuff. My only complaints revolve around the cabling setup in the design. Otherwise the antenna works great. I know my channel count is low for what I should be getting, but that could be down to several factors. First, without the antenna up on Mohu’s site I have to guess how many channels I should get (41 or 58). I do have quite a few large trees around my house that could be impacting the signal. Regardless, I get the channels I care about so I am happy with it.

Bought this antenna to use until I can get cable. It took trying several tries moving it around to get good reception for all the major networks. Good picture.

Works great and it is in my basement. Great way to cut the cable cord.

Took a week before I got it put up but i wasn't getting all my channels in with my Trek antenna so i switched it out ( put the Trek in bedroom ) I now get the total of 15 channels on both tvs.

The Mohu ARC looks great. I have a Mohu Leaf 50 and although it's flat and minimalist, it does look a bit older or cheaper than the ARC. Mohu made an antenna that looks stylish, and that is great if your best place for it is a bookshelf, a wall shelf, on top of a stand, or anywhere else it will be visible. In the end, however, the biggest feature for an antenna is really what the range is it supports, and what the actual range is it achieves. My MOHU Leaf is a 50 mile amplified antenna, and it has struggled to pull in all the channels I expect. According to antenna mapping sites like TVFool.com and the FCC.gov reception map, I should be able to pick up between 10-12 stations, considered "moderate" range, within 40 miles. I have been able to pull in only 3, however, with my MOHU Leaf. Part of it could be topography and trees, and part could be the antenna. The 60 mile range of the ARC got me excited for a better solution, though, that might actually pull everything in that I was expecting, and for someone who has cut ties with cable companies this is important. When testing, though, my results were mostly the same as I had with the Leaf, though there was one bedroom where the Leaf performed a little better than the ARC. The problem with an antenna like this is you are more susceptible to interference from trees, weather, and other exterior forces, or simply the fact that you live at the bottom of a hill, or surrounded by trees. Given that my Leaf has practically the same performance as the ARC, I can't judge and say that, performance wise, the ARC is better. Even though the specs on the paper would point to the ARC as the better option. Back to the design, however, the ARC excels over the Leaf, not only looking cooler, but also sporting upgraded features. The ARC features a signal indicator integrated into the front of it to make it easier for finding the best location with the strongest signal. It works well, and is simplistic, to not draw too much attention to it. Additionally, the ARC has an improved amplifier on it which is supposed to clear up the signal to avoid some distortion and clean up the image. I didn't notice any major changes in image quality between my Leaf and the ARC, so I will take their word for it. Overall, the design of the antenna looks and feels good, but there isn't really much to it, though that's a good thing. In the end, I can't fault the Mohu ARC for my lack of channels right now since it falls in line with past antenna experiences. I do think that I should detect more with the ARC than the Leaf based on information I've read and the listed range of it. However, I am happy with the Mohu ARC as a package and will continue relocating and comparing with the Leaf until I am satisfied with the results. Because much of the performance is trial-and-error adjustments, I can't really negate my experience, as I know what to expect when trying to get a digital antenna to work. I do recommend this antenna as one to try provided you set your expectations properly, especially if it is going to be visible. Be prepared to mess with the placement of it until you get a good signal and result, and then worry about it being visible, or not. I also highly recommend using an Antenna reception/mapping tool to determine if this will be a good choice for you.

I set this up with a spare room TV and at first set up only found 3 channels. I rescanned and then found 20 channels. Its almost as if the antenna is learning the area. The picture is Crystal Clear HD. I do have a larger house next to me, so that may slightly interfere with the signal, thus not getting more channels. Instructions are really not needed if your familiar with Roku or Chrome Cast then basically the same. Screw Antenna lead into Antenna in on tv and use the included Amp Jack in-line and plug USB cable into USB of TV in for power. The Antennas cable is very long so no worries for reaching to a window if desired. Also includes a combo stand or hang on wall bracket.There are LEDs on the front panel to indicate signal strength. This Antenna is a great option if your only interested in local broadcasts. The other plus is not having to operate a cable box which obviously cuts down on electricity expense!

I’ve had over the air (OTA) antennas before and they were simply adequate. Signals would get distorted based on location or weather many times. This Mohu Arc Pro Indoor Dipole antenna is perfect for my home. I dropped cable TV and monthly fees a few years ago and haven’t looked back. I refuse to let the cable companies bleed me dry of money for a ridiculous amount of channels. Even the entry level cable packages are overpriced and when you do the math on it you’re spending a fortune on this entertainment factor. For me, I want to be able to watch clear live TV on the major networks. This Moho antenna was a breeze to set up and get up and running. Plugged into the coax plug on tv and used the USB port on the TV to give it some power. I was able to get a total of 23 channels where I live in Upstate, NY. Over the air signal was solid and nothing seemed to get distorted when I had the antenna in a nice location near my window. The antenna looks nice with its arc shape and I have it set in plain view on my fireplace. So happy that this works well and the picture looks crisp and clear. I think this is a great investment for anyone who is budget savvy and can be at peace without the cable channels and fees. Pros: Great signal Looks nice Easy setup Adequate cord length No monthly cable fees Cons: None

I am one of those people who rely on our internet connection for all of our TV and media entertainment. We stopped using cable TV a long time ago. The only drawback was the loss of local TV stations. However, with the installation of the Mohu Arc Pro HDTV digital antenna, we have our local stations back. Installation of the antenna was straightforward. • Attach the coax cable from the antenna to the Power Injector (signal booster). • Attach the coax connection from the Power Injector to the antenna connection on the TV. • Attach the USB cable from the Power Injector to the USB port on the TV (or any USB charging port). • Place the antenna in a spot for maximum signal strength, which can be seen on the 4 LED signal lights on the front of the antenna. • Turn on the TV and tell it to scan for channels from the antenna. This entire process took about 5 minutes to attach to the TV and around 10 minutes for the TV to scan for all available channels. In our area, just North of Seattle, we were able to pick up 17 different channels. We have a 4K LED TV, and the picture quality for the local stations is impressive. We are delighted with the antenna, and I highly recommend it for anyone who is thinking of dropping their cable TV.

This antenna provides a great signal and it's amplified, providing an even better signal on channels that would normally come in pixelated or not at all! The only real bad thing is the stand that keep the antenna upright is a little wobbly and the cable coming off the back isn't detachable. The last one isn't much of an issue as the cable attached is plenty long for most applications and the wobbly base can be mitigated if you're okay with laying the antenna on it's back. This worked for me and still provided an excellent signal but if you're further away from your local TV stations, this may cause a few channels to be lost. The signal indicator is a great addition to help find where to point the antenna but after first setup, it's just kind of there but not too bright or distracting.
