I have this on a new LG 4K 40" TV for local stations, and cut the cable and went streaming. I never in my life thought I'd be going back to an antenna! I could not believe how sharp the reception is with this Leaf. Much better than the cable company. And I never realized how many stations were available. I picked up around 40 with this Leaf 50. (I'm inner city, but also each network has several sub-stations - that's why so many in this case.) Setup was easy - just plug the 2 plugs into the TV and attach to wall. The Leaf panel was a little smaller than I thought and very light and flexible, and it blended in fine with the white walls. I just used 2 of the 4 stick-on attachments, and it did drop off once. I press on those 2 every now and then just so it won't drop off again. I couldn't believe how it could pick up so many stations so well in that one orientation, but it actually does what it promised! I don't why I even had cable before. I'm antenna for life now! And I'd say get the 50, why scrimp and go smaller.

I bought this for my TCL 5 series that's wall mounted in a secondary room of the house. I'm not running satellite or cable to this TV. I'm using the power outlet for the amplifier due to using a flash drive in the TV's usb port for pausing live TV.
I originally connected the antenna and had it resting on the wall mount behind the TV so it could not be seen while standing in front. It picked up 35 channels and you have to remember that some of those are additional to a particular network (5.1. 5.2. etc).
I'm in the Phoenix area and both 3 of the main local networks including ABC and CBS came in very strong with 5 bars of strength. I did not get FOX, NBC or the CW.
I ended out moving the antenna up the wall to where the bottom that is connected to the coax cable is almost seen. I now pick up around 70 channels. Fox, NBC and the CW have 3 of 5 bars in strength now. For some reason I'm not receiving PBS even though it's in the channel list guide. It doesn't even show up with any pixeling. I might need to move the antenna slightly and run the channel search process again.
Overall, it is a good product with many channels in 1080 or 720 resolution.

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 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.

I found the Mohu Leaf 50 while searching for good alternatives to cable TV. I have Netflix to watch my movies and just needed local channels without paying for it. The Mohu Leaf works perfectly; I have good reception. I bought the white one so It can blend in with my wall!

I purchased this antenna after reading lots of reviews. I got the item home and set it up immediately. Right out of the box I got more than 20 stations. With varied placements I was able to get it to over 34. That was great! I got stations from MA and RI, but it appears the maximum range or this antenna is about 30 miles since there are additional stations within a 50 mile radius that are not detected. the stations that come in are very strong and clear.
However, I really purchased this antenna for my place in the White Mountains of NH, since I do not have cable there. I brought it up north the next week and set it up. Out of the box I got no stations. This is despite the fact there are 3 network affiliates within 30 miles. I finally got one station by placing the antenna on the seat of my rocking chair in the middle of the room. Any movement at all and the station was lost. No other placement in the house yielded any stations. I do not know if it was the surrounding mountains, but if I purchased the antenna solely for the NH house, I would have returned it.
I also purchased two other antennas as Walmart to test. These were made by GE. One was amplified and one was not. These were not able to detect any channels in either home. Thus, this antenna really out performed the others in the suburbs of Boston.
I will keep this antenna for my primary home south of Boston as I will be disconnecting the TV's in my bedroom and office from cable and savings some money each month. However, I am still without any tv in NH.

I think I had higher expectations for this antenna. The TV stations in our area are spread far apart. I want to cut the cable because it's ridiculous to have your cable/internet/phone bill as the highest bill you pay on a monthly basis. Once hooked up, the antenna will pick up anywhere from 15-25 channels depending on how & where it's positioned. The worst part is I can't get all the major channels (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX) by keeping the antenna in one place. So depending on what I want to watch, I have to change the location & position of the antenna.
The reception is really good when I can receive the channels, actually a better picture than coming through the cable box.
I'm going to buy a 2nd antenna for the TV in the downstairs den. Hoping for a little better stability in receiving the major channels without having to re-position the antenna.

I was nervous about ditching cable and going with only an antenna, but there was no need. The picture is just as good as HD cable and I get more channels than I expected. It's easy to set up and unobtrusive. Cut the cable cord, get the leaf.

I bought this primarily for over the air sports programing for the TV on our patio. I did not want to pay for any additional satellite box. It was easy to connect and gets very good reception for the channels I wanted. It seems to pick up all of the over the air channels that are available in our area. I also have a TV in my guest room. I got rid of the satellite box in there because it was only used a few times a year. If I have a guest, I can easily move the Leaf into that room. The reception is good, especially if the Leaf is placed in a window. I have a CBS construction home with a metal roof and get good reception even in the window not facing the local towers. With the Leaf, Chromecast, and Slingbox we can get everything (and more) on both TVs without the added expense of additional satellite boxes. My only suggestion would be to include additional options for mounting the Leaf. It comes with small pins that you can push into drywall or wood. It also has Velcro tabs that have adhesive on them. I do not want to put pin holes in the walls and I do not want a Velcro tab stuck on the wall when we are not using the antenna. I purchased clear suction cups with small metal hooks on them. The leaf has two small holes on the top for the pins. We hang the Leaf on these in a window when using it. We can put everything in a drawer when it is not in use.

Makes Cutting The Cord Easy

Was a little worried about a tedious install, but it couldn't be easier. I like the design and look of the antenna and the accessories - very contemporary. We have had great reception in general. Has gotten "pixel-y" when a BIG storm is in the area, but most weather doesn't bother it. Mine is placed on the highest part of a downstairs window pane. I think it would perform even better (like during storms) if I could place it higher but it hasn't been a big enough problem to pursue. I tend to over-purchase/overkill things and was planning to get the bigger roof/attic mounted model, but our roof has aluminum lined decking which could have killed the signal in the attic. That left the rooftop mount, but what a hassle. Even if I did rooftop, I wouldn't have gotten more channels, just better odds during the storms. Whether rooftop, attic, or in-house, you still have to run the coax from the antenna to the TV. I like cabling and cords to look tidy, hidden - ours is visible and runs around an archway to the TV. Don't know if I will relocate or drill through any walls for a hidden pass-through yet, but at least will get a longer coax to form-fit around the wall corners and floor molding. Unless you get additional in-line signal boosters, you want an un-interrupted cable run between the antenna and the TV. The Mohu 50 set-up took about 30 minutes, including running the channel search on the TV.

I bought this for my in-laws since they cut the cord. The quality of the picture for local HD channels (ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX) is really good. Sometimes the picture would cut in-and-out if a car drove by on the street. Oddly enough this was only for NBC. All of the other channels seemed to work great.
Overall a great buy and light years ahead of the old "rabbit ears" we used to use in the 90's.
Just make sure to check where the local channels broadcast from in your area. If your'e way out from the city you may not get many channels.

This antenna was a pretty decent choice. We tried several different brands and this one would initially find the most channel options. The downside is while it would find more options the clarity is not always dependable. Our other tv with another brand will have the same channel coming in clearly, while this one will be going in and out sometimes and clear as a bell other times, the cheaper one in the other room picked up less initial channels, but the channels both share never fluctuates in and out like this one. I liked that it was flat and could be easily attached to the wall, but to get a good signal I had to move it near the window and unfortunately it looks like what it is...a giant rectangle stuck on the wall. Still cheaper then cable and better then the "as seen on tv" one and the cheaper alternate version I tried before it.

Amazing reception

After evaluating various HD antennas online, I decided to try the Mohu 50 as it was the only "Multidirectional" antenna I found. Boy am I glad I did! Getting amazing reception from two different broadcast antennas directions here in Charlotte NC. And better yet, I laid it flat on the carpet under the TV and it's saved me attic/outdoor antenna installation and cable run. So Sweet! Thanks MOHU!

After much deliberation on cord-cutting, we decided to take the plunge!
The Best Buy assoc. in the store recommended the amplified Mohu Leaf for our location. We knew we probably would not receive the ABC signal from our local affiliate due to our hillside situation, but we would accept that and were happy to receive 20 OTA channels with a simple mount in our front window. Black side out is almost invisible from front yard and the white side is behind the couch, hidden from view. All HD channels are crystal clear - sharper than cable. Even in heavy snow conditions there was minimal disruption in the signal. Quite happy and first month cable savings more than offset the price!

I purchased this for my son in Tempe AZ (on the Tempe Scottsdale border). For less than the cost of 1 month of cable this antenna picks up 64 channels in the area for free. Yes, about 12 are spanish speaking channels which we don't watch (but you might), but that still leaves 52 channels. The quality of reception is excellent, the antenna is flat and easy to hide. It is powered by a usb port on the TV but it also comes with a plug to power the USB port. I was worried because he is in a lower level apartment and the walls are cinder-block with no clear view of the sky ...it works great!

I refuse to lowball the ratings because I could not get this to work. I purchased this based on the rave reviews that I read across the web. I was looking for an indoor antenna as I am trying to avoid purchasing a larger outdoor antenna.
Most of the TV stations in my area are apparently VHF signals and I just couldn't get the stations 23 miles away to pick up Channels 4, 5, 7, 9, etc... wouldn't work. This antenna is designed for UHF signals. It will pick up a VHF signal.
I had it in my window, up high to get the best signal, but it wouldn't register any stations. I took it upstairs (second floor) and it also wouldn't pick up signals. I did take the antenna to a friend's house and was able to pick up one of the three stations in their area. Thus, I was able to confirm that the antenna worked.
The design is great, easy to put together. I just do not recommend it for someone with primarily VHF signal range stations.
Also, I purchased this off of Bestbuy.com with delivery to my house. I had zero issues returning it to my local Bestbuy store. Therefore, I recommend it to a friend, because it's worth trying if you're in the market for an antenna

After finally cutting the cable and purchasing a Fire Tv box to catch my normally watched cable network stations, I needed a way to catch my local stations to catch all my Sunday football games. This product is very easy to set up. After positioning it in different locations around the room, which will take only several minutes. I found the perfect spot. I was able to catch 32 channels with just this paper thin antenna. Easily catches ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX. The reason for giving it 4 stars is that I don't feel it lives up to the 50 mile range. Stations at that range, don't catch a strong enough signal. I would say any towers within a 40 range, you will be able to catch. Overall a good product as I was just concerned with catching my local channels. That it will do
