Leaf 50 Amplified

When the flat antenna we bought 6-1/2 years ago stopped working properly I bought another at amazon. It pulled in just a few channels. I returned it and bought another one. Same story. Finally, we bought this one -- for more than twice as much money. But as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." I could immediately tell that this Mohu Leaf 50 was far better than the previous rectangular box antennas we had returned. I did move it -- but just once -- to get optimal coverage. (The TV-station antennas it is picking up are roughly 40 miles away, in a major city.) I hung this antenna high in a double-hung LR window, about seven feet from the TV itself. It works beautifully. With a crystal clear picture it gets all the channels we knew were out there; and then some. Not incidentally, the adhesive circles that came with it to attach it to a window adhere very strongly. I

This little antenna is amazing. I am in the process of cutting the cord with Dish Network and a good OTA antenna was my first step before investing in a DVR or streaming services. I began the search with a 40 mile range 1Byone antenna with stand for $30. When it arrived it was pretty obvious by its construction and cheap thin cable that it was not a quality product and it definitely didn't work for me. I spent over an hour positioning and repositioning this antenna but the best I ever achieved was four channels. I knew that I could get 19 because with my amplified rabbit ears I did get that many. I then returned the 1Byone and ordered the 50 mile range Mohu Leaf, yes it was $70 but if it worked it would save so much money over time. As soon as I removed it from the box I could see the quality difference between the two antennas. The leaf has a thick cable similar to the HDMI cables. I was hopeful. I plugged this antenna in and as it laid on the back of my sofa I got crystal clear reception on one channel, a good sign. I decided to run a channel scan with the antenna lying on my couch and low and behold I was able to find 14 channels. I placed the antenna above the window on an outside wall and then brought in 24 channels. Antenna Web said I should get 18 from my location so I was beyond pleased. I live in a rural mountainous area in Northern Arizona mid way between Kingman and Bullhead City. All of the channels I received were in English so for others looking for Spanish language channels this might not deliver your preferred result but for me it was just what I wanted. I got the four major network channels and each of their sub channels plus PBS and it's sub channels. I also got an old movie channel, MeTV, My45 and the CW. I was hoping for ION but that was not available. The stations I did receive were in stunningly beautiful HD. These stations are what I was getting in my Basic package from Dish minus the sub channels with a bunch of shopping and religious channels thrown in which I never watched anyway. The $$ to cut the cord is high initially but in the long run will save thousands. I bought a Fire Tv box which I love because I am so tied to Prime content and shopping on Amazon. I added Hulu Plus so I can watch current TV shows I will miss because I don't currently have a DVR and I have Netflix. I think in the future once I have DVR (probably the Channel Master no subscription required) I will discontinue both Hulu Plus and Netflix. Prime Instant Video offers a huge selection of both movie and TV shows for free as a Prime member. Anyway, this antenna is awesome and I highly recommend it. UPDATE: 04/01/2015 I purchased a 2nd leaf for another TV (I didn't want to mess with a splitter). I was able to get all the same channels as with the first Mohu Leaf with the exception of CBS which was a bummer and I had to buy another longer cable because 16ft was not long enough this time for positioning the antenna for optimal signal strength. I still highly recommend this antenna but I can honestly say that the second antenna was by far more challenging than the first. I had to try over 50 position/channel scans before I could locate a satisfactory spot. Don't give up because 2 inches can make the difference between no channels and all available channels. I also added a Channel Master DVR and a Seagate 2TB Hard drive to my primary TV and it is awesome. I can now pause live TV and I can record two shows simultaneously while streaming Netflix or Amazon Prime. I can't tell any difference at all between this set up or paying for Dish every month. I love that I don't have to worry about price hikes, errors in billing or calling them ad nauseam trying to negotiate a lower monthly rate. I never have to ever again, yeah. I am a cord cutter and it is wonderful.

Flat antenna that pulled in a lot of channels from near and far. Works awesome so far and was easy to install. I used the app it recommended to locate the direction of the towers and off it went. Good quality and great value. Mounts flat on a wall a window where ever you would like to place it.

I bought this antenna with high expectations. On the packaging it claims that it can receive stations up to 50 miles away. I was trying to receive stations 43 miles away. I mounted it high on a wall in that faced the stations I was trying to receive and performed a channel scan on my Sony TV. 0 stations found. I checked the connections, checked the USB style power supply and then moved it to another location. Same result, 0 stations. I used a different USB power supply, moved it to a third location and did a channel scan, 0 stations. I had also purchase a Winegard Flatwave from a local big box store that rhythms with Bosco for less then $50 before taxes. On the box it claims a range of up to 35 miles. I mounted the antenna in the location of my first test, performed a channel scan and received 8 stations. I got out a taller ladder and mounted it even higher on the wall and received 16 station, not all of them useable but it did find them, even one that was 65 miles away. Mu guess is that the Mohu antenna I received was defective, because even with a small UHF loop could I could receive a station that was 15 miles away, not 0 stations. Maybe the Mohu really does have a better range, but I don't have time for deal with defective merchandise, when the Winegard worked fine. For those comparing the Mohu vs. Winegard, there were other things besides the reception that I liked better about the Winegard: * The amplifier module on the Winegard can be mounted much further away than on the Mohu. If you have the Mohu mounted high on a wall, the amplifier is permanently attached to the antenna with a wire that is only abut 12 inches long. If you mount the antenna up high on a wall, you also need to have the wire for the USB power supply going up the same wall. The wire on the USB power supply in only about 4 feet long, so you need an outlet near by. On the Winegard, a thin RG-59 cable that is about 16 feet long attaches to the antenna and the other end is permanently attached to the amplifier module. This makes it possible to mount the antenna high with the USB power supply further away. * The attachment module on the antenna on the Mohu is thicker than the one on the Winegard. The Winegard lays closer to the wall but neither one is flat against the wall. * With the WInegard antenna, I was able to attach a 50 foot RG-59 cable to extend the signal to the location of my television with no apparent loss of signal. I never received any signals with the Mohu so I was not able to perform this test. In the battle of the flat antennas, Mohu 0 vs. Winegard 1. If someone from Mohu wants to send me an antenna for free to repeat the test, I would do it. But for now, the Winegard is working great pulling in stations that I know are 43 miles away.

After realizing that being mounted at a ground floor location was not ideal for the Mohu Curve, I opted to get the Mohu Leaf and see if mounting it seven feet high in the window would make a difference. I am in West Toronto and my experience had been getting around 7 - 10 channels using a flat unpowered antenna and the powered Curve was able to get me 18 (However it had to sit on the window sill otherwise it would only get 14 near the TV about six feet from the window) Having the Leaf in the window has actually netted me 23 channels. The majority (except for four) all in high definition. I didn't love the white Velcro mounting circles (as they look terrible on the black surface which is facing out) but they work and the thing has been up there without issue

Cumple con su función, a veces falla un poco y distorsiona la señal por algunos segundos. Por lo menos podrán ver TV

Quite expensive for simple product

Very poor signal not good signal at all very poor

Stopped working just outside the return window
