I purchased the antenna as a first attempt to use over the air HDTV. It was an easy setup and everything was packaged well. I especially liked the thin design of the antenna. The antenna worked well the first day, but the next day when the storm rolled in, more than one channel was unable to be viewed because of a weak signal. I suspect because of my location, I am going to have install and outdoor antenna. The sales member at Best Buy had warned me this might happen, so I don't believe it is the products fault.. If I was closer to the stations, I believe this antenna would have worked well.

Simple to install antenna, brought good reception for 6+ channels, up from the 2 I barely received without it.
Requires occasional location adjustment.
Simple and it works.

Perfect Antenna for Digital Channels

The Mohu is a great non-obtrusive antenna for picking up digital channels. I loved it's slim design and like that you are given the option to display the white or black side depending on your situation. I found that it didn't work that well on interior walls and picked up for channels near outside walls. The range is pretty decent and gets me about 30 channels given that I am 30 miles from a major city. Setup is real easy but I would suggest to most people that you try the antenna without the amplifier first as I found the amplifier interfered with the reception.

So I had an antenna, a big ugly old one. I didn't want that in my TV room so I bought this. I bought at the same time a Tablo OTA DVR Lite. I realized after I bought that I could put it anywhere in the house. I tried the Mohu and the old rabbit-ear-with-a-big-round-centerpiece side by side. The tried-but-true-but-unsightly won, by only a small margin; since no one can see it where it is, I returned the Mohu. It's good, just not quite good enough in my case.

I initially had a Mohu Metro which was smaller and covered a shorter distance. Hoping to get a stronger signal and more channels, I tried this one. But I didn't get anything more, even though my broadcast towers are within this antenna's range. I think the location of the apartment (basement without clear line of sight) has more to play than the antenna. I would suggest trying the smaller Mohu first and then trying it's bigger brother with amplifier later.

After spending way too much time on the phone with cable customer support trying to get my bill lowered every time they raised it, I was fed up and cut the cord. Did my research and went to buy this antenna the same day. I had it installed and was watching local channels within about 15 minutes. My goal was the basic 4 channels, but I get many more than that. I installed the antenna above a window behind my tv, and the white side of the antenna blends nicely with my white walls. Very happy with this purchase.

I live in the suburbs of a major city. I get 26 of the 27 channels the guide promises. Fox and NBC or crystal clear (better than cable). If you are serious about getting rid of cable, check the MOHU website and they will tell you which channels you should receive with this antenna. I would definitely recommend this.

Easy set up. Works best by a window versus hanging it on the wall. Over time, the adhesive wears off after moving it around to adjust the signal which you will have to do. I receive about 36 channels, most of them crystal clear. Local channels of course come in the best. Great for getting local news and some major networks which is really all I wanted it for and this one is great for that. If you are expecting more, then an indoor antenna is not for you.

The good- This antenna works very well and brings in channels from broadcast antennas that are some 25 miles away clearly. I'm in a condo building on the first floor and have the Mohu antenna placed on a transom window above the door way to my balcony. It's in a fairly recessed location but after trying different placement this area seemed best and it receives 15 channels. Some of these are channels I don't watch but 4 of them I do and that's good enough for me together with a Hulu and a Netflix streaming subscription , I can watch all the TV I want. I do miss not having a DVR to record shows but that's ok since I'm saving $130.00 a month on my cable bill.
The bad- it looks like a placemat on your window
It's very sensitive to placement
Sometimes in bad weather there is some pixelation
Overall I do recommend the Moho Leaf 50 but do your research. If one of your favorite tv stations broadcasts in VHF instead of most that are in UHF you will be out of luck with this antenna. In my area WTVD broadcasts in VHF and so I cannot pick up the local ABC .affiliate.

Stick it to the cable companies! This is a great antenna that I use all the time. It's thin enough to hide just about anywhere and the signal is typically incredibly clear.
My only gripes are that sometimes the signal get garbled and I'm not wild about having the wires visible while the rest of my cabling is hidden in the wall. I think both of these could be fixed if I could be bothered to do something about it.
I have no regrets about purchasing this antenna and have recommended it to multiple friends looking to reduce their monthly cable bill coupled with a subscription to one of the many on-demand video services.

I like the look of this antenna...no rabbit ears to deal with. I was able to pull in the local stations that I wanted to. Light and hung on wall with a couple of pins.

This item was easy to install, allowed me to receive about 32 channels now that I am no longer paying for cable. I have only had a couple problems with heavy storms interrupting the signal, but otherwise the channels come in very clear. I do have to angle it slightly different to pick up one set of channels though, most likely due to where the signal is being sent out from compared to the others. Would highly recommend if you are tired of your high cable bills and still want to get local stations.

I sold my previous antenna to my brother, and had to buy a replacement. I figured I'd just get the same antenna, but the Best Buy salesman insisted that this one was half the price a probably better than my old one. I would say he is right, but it is only marginally better. Still a good deal. I sure like how it is easy to set up. Just tape it to my window, and I'm done. The previous antenna was very fragile, and I would have to reassemble it even after the very slightest nudge.

Bought this antenna for my mother who was cutting the cord on cable and upgrading her living room to the HD era. The design is nice and out of the way. The reception is great and picture quality is superb. The Leaf gives you some options on hanging via tacks or Velcro stickers. Additionally, given this is the amplified version, there are options there too. Specifically the addition of USB allows you to connect the antenna to the tv's USB port to power the antenna.

I like to watch sports and I had the various providers over the last 15 years of Dish, DirecTV and Comcast. I finally got fed up paying over $130 a month for stations that I never watched. I cut the cord and purchased this antenna to see if I could get any decent stations out in the Northwest suburbs of Houston. I unplugged the satellite feed and just hooked this up instead in the attic of my two story house. Used a couple of thumbtacks to mount, plugged it in and then did the setup on the channels. Wow, I received over 50 channels including the major locals. Now the con is that many of the channels were not English speaking and many were religious in nature. However you will receive a nice amount of English speaking stations that are entertaining. The other pro is that my picture seems to be better than I ever had before with even sharper HD. Everything looks great. and it is working on my existing wiring in the house. Every TV is using it and I no longer have a pay TV bill.

I purchased this item to replace an RCA rabbit ears type antenna in order to receive more channels in our master bedroom. Whereas, we were only getting about 17 channels with the RCA antenna; with this new Mohu Leaf antenna, we are receiving 42 channels from around Atlanta market and the picture is clear and HD quality on 38 of the 42 channels. I would recommend this product if you are looking for a good indoor flat antenna.

I have two of these. One for each of my TV's. I am about 6-7 miles from the local TV towers. In good weather I can get all the local channels. When it is rainy , even a little bit, some of the stations get digital breakup in the picture. Sometime often enough that it is not watchable. I think this is more a limitation of indoor antenna's in general than of this particular model.
I have them pinned to the wall behind the TV's using thumb tacks. They can't be easily seen unless you look behind the TV.

I installed this antenna in an upstairs window facing East toward downtown Chicago which is around 50 miles away. I ran the channel scan on my TV and it pulled in 84 channels crisp and clear. It even brought in some Rockford, IL stations from the other direction. All the stations are rock steady with no picture breakup. Highly recommended.

Bought this antenna for our camper to replace the broken roof antenna and save space from a larger style. It works amazing. Picked up channels I hadn't even got before with the roof mount one. Overall very pleased with this unit. Seems to get just as good reception in storms as in clear weather. Plenty small enough and different mounting methods supplied with it made it very user friendly.
