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 bought this OTA antenna so that I could watch football games while my cable provider settled a dispute with a local broadcasting company. The picture quality is actually superior to the picture I view with my cable box as its capable of true 1080p while most cable companies only achieve 1080i. I got this model because it came with an amplifier, which I assumed meant it would get a better reception than many of the cheaper options out there. However, living in a very populated area, close to many reception towers, I later found that the antenna would get better reception without the use of the amplifier! So I paid the extra money only to not use what I spent the extra money on. The amplifier may be worth the extra money if you live in a rural area, further away from reception towers but I have not tested this to see if that is the case. Overall I got about 30 channels through the scanner without the amplifier and about 23 with the amplifier. Some channels such as fox received noticeably better signals than NBC. Overall a solid device, but if you live in a large city I would probably recommend opting for a cheaper option than this 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 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.

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.

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.

Best OTA antenna

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.

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.

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.

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.

Works surprisingly well for its small size and flat design. It is very directional and takes a bit of patience and positioning to pull in a strong signal. I am in remote location and have to pull in my signal from a translator station (about 20 miles away) and am very happy with the results I get.

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.

Bought this for replacing DirecTV while moving to another state and without satellite service during the transition. Repositioned antenna inside house to face varying directions until channel search provided best reception. TV indicated that 55 channels were located (30 miles north of Dallas) but actually only 12 were viewable. Most of the non-viewable channels video were heavily pixelated and erratic audio, but the viewable channels were fantastic. With digital it is either all or nothing. Well worth the price to avoid "remote" withdrawals.

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!
