This is awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an old antenna and it was difficult to get a good reception. The antenna has excellent reception and I’ve gotten 45 channels from it plus tons of channels on my Roku TV. The is reasonable and it was easy to install. I put it on top of my bookcase. I prefer this rather than an antenna you need to put on a wall or window. I ordered this and picked it up at Best Buy. The customer service there was fantastic!!

OK, but Not Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for the other reviews and the capabilities it had on the website. I have a metal pole barn garage first of all. Totally enclosed, fully insulated with concrete floor. I installed a 55" LG flat screen. I installed the antenna and followed the directions. I had an idea of best direction from my neighbor since he had just installed a different one recently. It found several channels, not as many as I thought it might find. It got CBS & FOX, but not the other major networks. Yes it's my manacle as well and I want to be able to close the garage door when it gets colder, so I closed the door and lost ALL reception??? Kinda stinks. I don't want to have to install it outside. Defeats the purpose. It is located up high and turned in the best direction I can find. I guess I will work on improving my WiFi signal and use more streaming. Works ok, but I would've thought it would've been better according to the manufacturer. Located in the upper right corner of my photo. Any suggestions for improvements? Won't upload image

Posted .Hi MikeS! Unfortunately, metal will heavily obstruct the signals you could receive with any antenna you try to use. We always recommend the higher you can place the antenna the better. With the buildings metal exterior, it sounds like you may want to consider an outdoor antenna. If you would like us to perform a free signal analysis of your area to recommend which antenna would work best in your location, just give us a call at 877-825-5572. Our customer support team members are here Monday-Friday to help! Thank you for your business and honest feedback.

All Good In My Experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two. Easily set up with ac power from its usb to tv, has a little stand to let it sit rather than wall mount, had no trouble in norteast PA suburb finding existing on-air hd signals from local network broadcasters (even with antenna perched next to TV), easy and quick to rescan for any new broadcaster, each was reduced $10, I used my $60 in gift cards I received from Best Buy when I paid $60 to recycle two old cathode ray TVs ), and then I called Comcast/Xfinity and CUT THE CORD, saving about $120 a month for channels I hardly ever watched (I only miss seeing two, both cable-only).

Mohu Gateway HDTV antenna
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Indoor Mohu Gateway amplified TV antenna worked alot better when taken to a protected area in my patio. When outside I receive up to 105 channels. Most of them were in languages other than English, but channels 2, 4, 5,11 and 13 had multiple program channels to watch. Channel 56-3 is MeTV.

Mohu Inside TV Antenna
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The antenna was easy to set up and doesn't have to adhere to the wall like some of the other inside antennas. Unfortunately, it didn't bring any local stations that a paperclip (used as an antenna) gave me. After talking to a neighbor, I found out that I live in a "dead" area for over-the-air tv signals and even a very good outside antenna would not produce any additional tv stations for me.

Amazing reception
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm thrilled with the reception I get from this antenna! I have all my local channels, several from the Boston area (80 miles away) and several other ones. It's amazing and all I need. Coupled with a favorite streaming service, I'm so glad to have cut the cable cord! Price was right, too!

works great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had a Mohu Leaf 50, bought in 2018, hooked up to another TV so I knew it would be a good product. I was hoping to use the Mohu-Gateway Plus stand right next to the TV but found I got better reception by moving it to hang on a wall at the top of a window, same direction as the other one. Getting 34 channels. Get good reception from both Mohu antennas.

Poor VHF-band Channel Reception
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My house is within a 35-45 mile radius of transmitters for two metropolitan markets. The antenna does an excellent job picking up all available UHF-band channels within that radius, but it is disappointingly bad at receiving the VHF-band channels. In fact, I've had much more success receiving VHF-band channels with an old pair of rabbit ears. The Mohu Gateway Plus antenna struggles to receive even the nearest VHF-band channel with transmitter only 30 miles away. As a result, I am undecided whether I will keep or return. I should add that the signal strength indicator is useless to me. I positioned the antenna in multiple locations and orientations with no indicated change in signal strength.

Posted .Greetings GreggS! We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our Mohu Gateway Plus receives Hi-VHF and UHF TV signals. You may be wanting to receive Lo-VHF signal, which would require a very large antenna element, or will need to be in very close proximity of the towers. I have attached a link to explain the difference, and how to choose the right antenna for your area and needs. https://www.antennasdirect.com/blog/why-you-need-to-choose-the-right-antenna-with-frequency-in-mind. Before you return the antenna, please give our tech support team a call at 877-825-5572, so they can pinpoint what the issue is and if a different antenna will be necessary for your situation. Thank you for your purchase and honest feedback!

Not as good as previous model
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Improves tv reception, but not as well as the previous Mohu indoor antenna I had that was pliable. Unfortunately had to replace old one because connection at the base broke and couldn't be repaired. I can't get clean sound reception with this one so the signal is not amplified as well, even changing locations.

If you tried this and continued to have trouble, please give us a call at 877-825-5572 and we are happy to help find a solution. We are here Monday-Friday to assist. Thank you!
