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.

We were only getting a handful of channels before buying this Mohu Leaf. We now have three times as many channels, but I am slightly disappointed that a few towers within 50 miles are not being picked up. We really should be getting a few more channels, but this might be a bit of a mix between poor signal strength from the towers, the Mohu, and our location. As for the physical characteristics, the Mohu is light weight, easy to place around the tv with the bit of kit that comes with it, and it blends in well just about anywhere since you have the choice of a white or black side. It is a bit on the expensive side for an indoor amplified antenna, but I think we ultimately got what we paid for.

I get 28 channels with this antenna. I live in a rural area about 15 miles from the city. I am surrounded by a lot of trees. I get FOX, CBS, NBC, PBS and occasionally I get ABC. Three are some religious channels and a country music video channel mixed in there too. It was very easy to hook up. I moved it around and scanned for channels each time I moved it. I positioned it right above a window and that is where it picked up the most channels. It is a great item if you want to cut the cord with your cable company. I have it hooked up to an RCA Smart TV. I subscribe to Netflix and huluplus for much less than I would pay the cable company and I am not missing a thing.

We purchased this antenna to pull in local channels. I convinced my wife to “Cut the cord” but we needed to still pull in sports and other entertainment channels. This antenna was easy to set up, pulls in many free channels in our market and sits out of site There is some loss of signal on certain channels occasionally I believe due to interference inside the house, but overall it’s a good product.

I live 48 miles from the nearest broadcasting antenna. The Mohu leaf has a 50 mile range. I was able to pick up all the main UHF channels, but I got more channels with a different antenna that I had tested. The channels were in HD and had very good audio and video.
I wasn't able to pick up any VHF channels at my range. Because of this I ultimately returned the device. If you live closer to an antenna, you probably won't have this problem.

I live 40 miles away from the city and I can get about 40-50 channels including NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC in HD and 4k compatibility I just love this antenna it took me some time to get it in the best spot I could though it just doesn't pick up from just anywhere. Another item I would recommend if you don't have cable and if you choose to not pay for cable all the best shows and championships come on Local channels anyway.

I gave 3 stars because it did work good & set up was 5 minutes. I could see how if you lived in a rural setting the extra distance would be beneficial. I was only able to get about 12 channels..... the local channels came in beautiful which is what I wanted. However, I was able to get the same results with a hd antenna from big lots for $17. So I returned the leaf to save the money. No sense spending over $50 for the same $17 results.

small, flat, inconspicuous. I have purchased 2 of these, one for the living room and one for the bedroom. Rooms are on opposite sides of the house. Bedroom reads about 45 channels, the living room gets about 60. I would say that of those channels about 95% come in completely clear with no interruptions.

This antenna was easy to install and worked very well for us. Some of the more distant TV stations did not work consistently, but we had good HD quality service for many local stations even 30 miles away. The flat, low profile design and white color makes it relatively inconspicuous for mounting on a wall or window.

I previously tried an Amazon Basics 35 mile antenna but that didn't work for me. I was 29 miles away from the signal towers (according to tvfool.com and antennaweb.org) so I figured that should suffice. I bought this Mohu 50 with the amplifier to replace that and it certainly made the difference. It's a very easy setup, basically just plug and play. I didn't even have to mount it on a window. I just have mine sitting flat on top of a shelf. I get very clear reception for all my local channels (and then some). I've never had to rescan so far. Very happy with this purchase and the savings from cable companies.

I purchased the Mohu Antenna for my brother's TV and it is much better than the one I'm using for my TV. I intend to a Mohu myself. I like the fact that it can be installed on a wall, is so thin and lightweight and does not take up any table space. The reception is excellent.

The Mohu Leaf 50 works as stated. It is small, sleak and simple. Powers via usb on my tv and plugs right in to the antenna in jack. That's it. Simple it works for crystal clear stations for me at over 60 miles. I have it pinned to the wall behind the tv and you never see it. It just works.

I stream my tv with Sling TV so I don't get all my local channels, so I've been wanting to get an antenna to see if it works. After installing it and trying it out, it works really good, my main local channels are in pretty good HD quality. I get a total of about 60 channels. Of course most of them are basic local channels that I've never seen before, even when I had regular cable, but my main channels are all there. Fox, NBC, CBS, the CW, and ABC. That's what I hoping for, so all these new antennas work as good at they say, of course based on where you live. This antenna comes with an amplifier to help boost the signal, so if you don't live in a major city and you live somewhere in the middle of no where, then you would hook up the amplifier to help boost the signal. But you still might have an issue getting channels. I've seen that in a lot of reviews, people only get like 10 channels, but they live in an area where the reception doesn't reach, so it's difficult to get channels. I live in a major city so after reading the instructions, I hooked up my antenna without the amplifier and it worked great, I got my 60 channels and really good picture quality. So the amplifier will interfere with the cable tv antenna signals, which is why if you live in an area that's close to the cable tv signals, then you probably won't need to hook up the amplifier with your antenna. The instructions are pretty straight forward, so just follow that and you should be good.

I am amazed! This antenna is great. The 6 foot cable is great. It allows movement North, East, West, and South to pick up other stations. I am 49 miles from the national nearest station and 38 from a PBS station. I have enjoyed seeing stations again that I have not seen in many months or years! Simple and easy to set up and use.

This was my first indoor antenna purchase. I was pleased with how easy it was to install. We live in the country so I was sure how well the antenna would pick up channels. To my surprise it picks up all but one channel, and I think the only reason it doesn't pick that channel up is because of distance. Great product. Exactly what we were looking for.

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 Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor Antenna much is better than expected. Live on the coast south of Los Angeles approximately 60 miles from most broadcast antennas and the Mohu leaf 50 still pulled in 134 channels (some not in english). In most cases, the picture quality in HD is better then the cable company! We're thinking of cutting the cable and trying this on one of our TV's to see if it works for us... so far, so good. Definitely need to find a suitable place to put the antenna. We tried several places before getting great reception.

For me, and my location this worked great.
Opend up the box, connected to tv, scanned for channels and I was watching crystal clear channels, I got 18 channels.
The number of channels will vary by location. It also comes with a plug in booster. For me I was better off not using it in the location I decided to keep my Leaf. I did try the Leaf in the basement on other side of house, farther away from signal and I did use the booster and only got 12 channels.
For some of my tv's it took me a little time to place the right location to get maximuim channels.
Get one, play around with it in different spots. See if it works for you. You have 30 days to retunr it if you are not able to get a signal, just save all the paperwork and box. (45 days if you are a elite plus member)

How well this antenna will work in each case will depend on your signal strength and where you locate the antenna. In my case I had medium signal strength for most of the channels and had to place the antenna on an interior wall because of the location of the TV. Out of 13 signals it detected, only 7 are strong enough but I am able to get all the major local stations plus a few outliers which works well for me since I'm primarily interested in local news and weather. Rarely under some weather conditions the signal weakens causing the picture to break up. With the antenna placed on an exterior wall I can get about 25% more channels with proportionately better signal strength in the others. In spite of these issues I'm very happy with this antenna. It has obviated the need for cable and the exorbitant monthly bills that come with it. For people considering the generic version available from a major online retailer, I tried them side-by-side and found that the performance of the Leaf antenna was considerably better--more channels, better signal strength.

We were using the old style ears, and only got 2 digital channels, switched to this model and now pick up all 6 channels we were looking for. Its pricier than the old ears, but for more channels and less fussing to find the just right position its so worth it.
