I live in Phoenix, lots of OTA HD. But I live behind a mountain that blocks southern OTA HD reception. I have a 20' mast with a 120" Antenna on my roof (cost several hundred dollars), it can pull in 60+ stations. So I'm not comparing apples to apples with the MOHU Pro at less than $100.
I first mounted it in my upstairs office, pointing east; I scanned for DT channels, I "acquired" 10 but only 4 were watchable. I then changed to the adjecent wall pointing south; scanned and "acquired" 17 stations 9 were watchable (3 of these were Spanish). It's interesting to note none of the channels overlapped (they were all different). For me most of the channels acquired were SD broadcasts, only 1 (on my first scan) was true HD.
But that being said the content that I acquired proves the Antenna works, and can pull in signals. I know I'm not the perfect test case, due to my "Mountain". I can say that the antenna is highly directional which depending what direction your stations come from may be a good or a bad thing. But they offer no way to mount it that it can easily be moved. If the mount had some sort of sliding device that would allow adjustment it would be a MUCH better product.
I was a little surprised to get any stations at all. When DTV was just getting started I tried 2 different indoor antennas - got nothing That's how I ended up with the big roof antenna. I did try the antenna on a downstairs TV and got no digital channels. So depending on your location this antenna may work out for you, but you might have to move it to get different channels.
But with BB, you can always try to see if it works for you!

The install is simple and straight forward the directions are very clear. This Antenna HD quality of picture, amount of channels, simplicity with setting - all of them overcame my expectations! From the beginning. I have had other antennas in the past but I love this one because it’s small and not bulky. I have it by the wall near the window for better results. When I scanned every channel came in very clear. It’s totally worth the money.

I have been on the search for a black antenna to upgrade a much older RCA antenna. The Mohu Arc Pro looks great and is very easy to setup. It can be powered by USB or Outlet (adaptor is not included but Mohu will send you one). The signal meter did not work very well - only one light illuminated regardless of where I placed it in my upstairs bedrooms. Reception is good though and I'm able to receive CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, the CW, and PBS stations where I live on the border of MA and CT.

Brief overview:
I bought this antenna because I thought it would give me access to channes like ABC which I had had difficulty getting with a basic module leaf 30 antenna.
I live about 10 miles off the one world trade which is where ABC broadcast from in the New York City area. There aren't any big buildings near where I live. I do use a lot of Bluetooth devices but one of the selling points of this antenna was that it blocks interference from those devices.
VHF vs UHF:
This is a bit of a rudimentary explanation but VHF sigbals use a lower frequency compared to UHF signals. Many antennas claim to have both but in my experience, most are optimized for UHF and neglect proper VHF support.
It is my understanding that ABC and CBS broadcast using a lower frequency VHF signal as opposed to a UHF like other broadcasters use. At least in New York City. I thought this antenna was able to handle both but apparently not. I never seem to get those channels.
Signal Strength:
Like I said, I live 10 miles away from 1 world trade and even less from the Empire State Building, where several other networks broadcast from. Nevertheless, my antenna usually gets about 2 bars (or dots) of signal out of a possible 4. Sometimes wiggling the cable helps more than moving the antenna but I feel ridiculous having to do that after spending almost $70 for an antenna. Keep in mind that this antenna is rated for a coverage for up to 60 miles. Having to finaggle with the cord just to get decent signal isn't something I thought I'd need to do.
I do have the amplifier plugged in, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Closing:
I think at $65 and change after tax this isn't a good deal for this antenna. You'd be better off buying a a regular mohu leaf 30 and saving yourself some money if you live in a big city.
If you live in a suburb and need the extra range, then it might work out but I'd wait for a deal or something.

Sleek design and easy to set up. Looks great! Did not get all the channels I wanted after 3 attempts with different antennas. Thinking it is just my geographic location.

This is my 3rd Mohu antenna that I've bought for my several TVs.
As a 'cord cutter' I use the Mohu to grab FREE regular and HDTV channels.
The other 2 Mohu I have are 'flat' and mount near the window...
However, the TV in the Master B.R is not near a window... SO I looked for something that was 'powered' that would sit behind my TV on the stand.
OMG! In a 'wooded' neighborhood... this Mohu pulls in channels PERFECTLY! Watching HDTV channels with BRILLIANT, CRISP color and definition.
Just pull it out of the box, and the set up is 'stupid EASY'.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND this antenna!

This thing works well! Moved to a condo and wasn’t sure about reception. Stuffed this antenna in the open rafter of a room in the basement and connected to whole house coax splitter and it works great! Not worried about how many channels as they would just be repeats from nearby cities. I get. All local broadcasts with a great signal. No pixelation or dropouts!

This antenna may be more effective is you live in or very near a big city with broadcast stations. Otherwise, it nice for the stations it picks up. But from my location, have never indicated reception higher than the 1 light. Currently have it in room and directed so that it picks up 27 channels. Most are very clear. Some are not. Best part, it is only a one time cost.
After ordering online, The Best Buy Store Pick-up went very well and well ease. Kudos to Joy their store clerk.

Based on the HD antenna reviews I saw in which people were walking their indoor antenna all over the house looking for a decent signal, I honestly didn't expect anything from this antenna. I fully expected to be disappointed with the number of channels I could get and the picture quality mainly because I expected to place my antenna against the window next to the TV and had no plans to explore the entire house looking for a better signal. That was a risk I was willing to take because I knew Best Buy would respond positively to any dissatisfaction I might have had.
I read about trees affecting the signal (I have seven large trees on my 1/4 acre property!) and wrong orientation (my window faces north and all TV stations are east and south of me), hence my low expectations. But this antenna surprised me, finding 38 stations with only one that had reception issues and it was Telemundo which I don't normally watch. The reception quality is great in my opinion although videophiles might fight for the "best" image no matter where they have to place the antenna.
This antenna has definitely met my expectations for restoring access to my local TV stations after recently cutting the cord with cable TV.

I hooked it up in my living-room and it disappointed me. Tried it in my attached garage and it worked better, so I ran a coax cable to my upstairs bedroom and mounted the antenna up by the ceiling. Now it works great...all 4 lights on the indicator shine bright and I get a great picture on my TV in the living-room.

Dear sirs,
The antenna brings in the TV signal better than the old one ever did. We receive more stations now. There is still sometimes when the signal becomes shaky, but that is very seldom. It’s usually When there is a storm.For the most part we get more channels and get them clear.

We cut cable a few months back and subscribed to Hulu Live. Only issue with Hulu is the picture quality of live sports, wanted better quality for watching NFL and College football so I gave this antenna a try. We live in Morris County, NJ not too far from TV towers, but still 30+ Miles. Was very skeptical this would work, but this antenna pulled in 40 channels just by plopping it next to my tv on 1st floor. Was able to get ABC, FOX, CBS, NBC, CW right away but had a bit of pixilation. This past weekend I moved antenna to attic and now receive 73 channels! All major stations come in crystal clear! Quality is as good as cable. Signal indicator works well, helps finding a good mounting location without a lot of trial and error. Pre-amplifier works well enough to split signal to 4 TVs with about 100ft of cable to furthest tv. Just re-used all the existing coaxial cable already in place from cable service. Assuming you don’t have a bunch of obstructions to towers I highly recommend!

Small compact antenna with good reception quality. This works well in small apartments where you may not be able to install an outdoor antenna. The stand is a little confusing, though.

I was never happy with the price that I pay for cable bill for 12 years. I finally bought two of this antenna for my televisions. I am able to pickup all my local channels and other channels like Ion, Bounce etc. the reception is no different from my previous cable provider. The only drawback is sometimes not sure if it is cause by the weather but the picture once in a wile is not of good quality. This antenna works indoor and you do not need to attached it to a wall, just rest it on a table, desk, floor etc. very easy to install. I am happy I bought this antenna, very satisfied with the result.

Glad to have this Antenna . I Had to cut back on Comcast since it is way to expensive. At least I can still watch TV from another room.
