Oustanding Indoor TV Antenna

- Review by: Kenny

Rating

I got rid of cable TV back in 2008 when prices started to climb and have been using a very old "rabbit ears" antenna ever since until just recently. I was just getting really tired of constantly having to reposition my "rabbit ears" antenna in order to get a watchable TV signal every time I changed channels. After seeing the great reviews for the Mohu Leaf 30 Indoor HDTV Antenna, I decided to give it a try. Setup was very easy. I positioned the antenna on the wall directly behind my TV about 4 or 5 inches from the ceiling. Once everything was hooked up, I ran a channel scan on my TV. I had entered my zip code on Mohu's website to determine how many free channels I could expect to receive in my area and was advised I should be able to receive 73 free channels. Well, I didn't receive 73 but I did receive 69 which was twice as many as I had been receiving before and the reception on each of those channels was crystal clear. The Mohu Leaf 30 Indoor HDTV Antenna is quite simply the best indoor TV antenna I have ever used. I expect to purchase another one quite soon for a second TV I have in my apartment. This antenna does everything they say it does! (Posted on 9/14/2019)

Cable bill was over $100 per month for basic tier and no premier channels or movie channels. Way too much and going higher this year!! After doing research and read reviews I really focused on Mohu leaf 30. Although I was skepital I cancelled cable and ordered Mohu leaf 30. I live in suburb of KSMO in an apartment with lots of trees but only 15 miles from towers. First place I put antenna I scanned channels and got 52!! Antenna not in window but on wall where cable was connected. 52 channels!! I get all local channels and others that I watched on cable. Now I have a savings of $100 per month and like my son said best investment I have made in many years. I have no regrets whatsoever!!! (Posted on 2/15/2018)

Originally I purchased ONE antenna because in one room I had no reception. It wasn't the TV. I moved it to other rooms and also tried working TV's in this one room. The problem was the room.

So I purchased one Mohu Leaf Antenna and got all channels I expected, with no pixelation and MORE than I expected. On a whim, I decided to try it on another TV in another room where the reception was GREAT. To my surprise I received many more channels - I guess about 8 additional ones that I had not received in the room with the best reception. After that trial I ordered 3 more Mohu Leaf Antennas for the other TV's in my house. All increased in the number of channels I received.

I highly recommend this antenna.

I live in a major city and also - before purchasing the first one - called the Mohu Leaf company. The salesman was exceedingly helpful and suggested that because all the
TV stations in my area are within 2 miles of the city, that I didn't need a more powerful antenna since the basic Mohu Leaf has a 30 mile range. Additionally he stated that to buy one with too much power sometimes adversely affects the good stations.

I've told all my friends about it, and I post information about how to cut cable and still be entertained on a FB page called Off the Grid - https://www.facebook.com/gridsavings

I always recommend that Mohu Leaf be included in any cable cutting efforts as they really expand available channels.

THANKS MOHU LEAF!!! Really the best antenna on the market! (Posted on 8/1/2014)

I just bought my first flat screen tv and thought I would update my ancient rabbit ears. I tried two different RCA indoor antennas and I could not pick up our local NBC affiliate and some of the other stations were a little iffy.

I bought the leaf30 and I am very impressed with how well it works. Not only do I now get NBC, I don't have to angle my rabbit ears to a certain angle to get a particular channel. (Posted on 7/29/2014)

FYI I am in Long Beach, CA area. This model picks up all major networks (abc, nbc, cbs, fox, pbs, bbc) and 30+ other random networks.

Cannot beat the size. About the size of a standard piece of printer paper. Black or white side. Build is incredibly solid for the size. Sturdier than you would expect! I added a splitter and ran a coax to 2 TV's with no issue - crystal clear HDTV.

For $40, you cannot beat it, and this is a perfect addition to a cord cutters setup.

Cannot wait for Mohu Channels!!! Just wish I had known about the kickstarter project before it ends!! :(

Hey, Mohu! If there are any left I'll be a tester in the LA market :) :) :) hint hint nudge nudge. (Posted on 6/15/2014)

I cut the cord to satellite TV (Directv) about three weeks ago and connected the mohu leaf antenna. Wow! Amazed at its simplicity and power. IN Augusta, GA I TVFool.com indicated I'd only get about 9 channels and would need a larger antenna for signals. Mohu leaf is guaranteed for 35 miles. Well I pull in three additional channels, crystal clear from 43 miles away in South Carolina. I have 14 quality channels half in HD with subchannels like MeTV; Antenna TV; BOunce; 3 PBS channels of different types and major networks.I've recommended Mohu to friends one who bought and can now receive 16 channels in his city. Set up is super easy and my antenna is taped to the interior, downstairs wall in a middle unit. Saving over $1,000.00 per year cutting satellite and won't return. You will not go wrong with Mohu leaf antenna. Will buy another one for my parents condo in Atlanta. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I have used the RCA 1600 Digital Flat Passive Antenna and while nice it doesn't hold a candle to the Leaf.
The Leaf has more natural color and audio plus much less motion noise than the 1600.
The 1600 skin tones are overloaded and orange while the Leaf is rich and vibrant with a less emphasis on people and more fully environmental. I say 5 stars not enough especially when you get an audio experience to join the picture(s). Crisp, clear, and full. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

Best Purchase I Ever Made

- Review by: Joshua

Rating

I rarely write reviews of any product I ever buy but the Mohu Leaf deserves the time of day. I bought the regular Leaf after much research and watching product review videos. The slim design and price got me interested and now that I actually have the Leaf hooked up, it's capability is amazing. The Mohu Leaf has a range of 35 miles and I live right on the edge of that range and the terrain around our home isn't the most ideal. We receive over 40 channels and they're even better than what we were paying for with expensive cable. If you're looking into getting an antenna and ditching the cable bill, don't even hesitate about purchasing the Mohu Leaf. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

Received my MH-ANT1000 yesterday afternoon and I live in the mountains of E TN. I would have been happy with the 3 local channels but I am geting 17! Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found what looked like a sheet of white paper - used the push pins to put it on my wall in my den, scanned my channels and instead the "no signal" I had gotten after I had my cable turned off. Now a friend wants to order one!

I had purchased the MOHU SKY outdoor antenna (with amplifier) for my house in the country but tried it at the house in the city before installing it where it belonged. Stunning, crystal clear picture on about 30 local stations. See my review of the SKY for details.

So I bought a LEAF for the city place (also with amplifier) and hooked it up, first to 2 TV's and then to just one while my wife got over her "COLD TURKEY" about giving up the cable.

While amazing compared to the cable, it sometimes pixelated and would lose signal on rare occasion. I attributed it to placement and did not worry about it. Well she finally called ATT and had them turn off the cable, I proceeded to hook up the antenna and amplifier to feed both TV's. Terrible picture on both sets where it existed, and many stations showed NO SIGNAL or POOR SIGNAL STRENGTH.

I figured I would just have to buy a SKY for the city house, though we are no more than 20-25 miles MAX from the broadcast towers and the LEAF should suffice.

But first I conducted a quick test to see if there was some other weakness in the system. When I first hooked the two TV's up I had the amplifier installed up in the attic next to the antenna. I decided to get one TV working right while I figured the problem out and went from the LEAF to a 2 way splitter and direct to both TV's, figuring I would put the amp on one TV and maybe buy another amplifier to see if that worked.

The wife called out, "great picture now, what did you do?"
I ran into the other room and the same story, superb picture and the full 30 stations, NO pixelation or weak signal messages on either TV's. With OUT the amplifier or the fancy white cable you get when you get a MOHU.

So whether it is the amplifier or the white cable or both that are causing the problem, my pictures on my two televisions are gorgeous now, hanging off of ONE LEAF antenna with no need for any amplifier.

I wish I had tried just the LEAF originally before buying the amplifier, but well, a lesson learned. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I have tried numerous indoor antennas. We live twenty-five miles from the tv stations in a rural setting. I got the basic leaf and it works great. I got a second because the first did so well.

This is the best one I've ever had.
I am in los angeles and was using radio shack rabbit ears one but that antenna needs to be in higher position and you can't fix that one on the wall.

SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN CABLE

- Review by: Ned

Rating

We watch very little TV and could not justify the high cost of cable any more. We decided to try the MOHU Leaf, we thought if we just get a few stations it will be satisfactory. The first location on the wall I installed it at picked up 5 stations, all local. I moved it about 8 feet on the same wall and got 17 stations, more than I thought was available. The picture is much better than we were getting from cable, I feel like I've been cheated by the cable company into believing they had the best service. I'm very happy with the LEAF I'm going to order a second one this week. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I bought this to put on our sailboat. I installed a little 19 inch TV on our sailboat expecting to pickup a few local channels to watch in the evening when out on the water. I didn't want a big mast mount antenna just a little indoor antenna. I tried 2 of those antennas from eBay touted as wonderful.... they would only pick up 1 local signal. Typical eBay junk. Then I tried a couple more store bought versions and returned them. Desperate I bought the leaf. I mounted it on the wall in the salon temporarily to test the performance. While moving it around I discovered the leaf worked best on the ceiling of the salon next to the mast and it picks up 8 local signals, a mix of analog and digital stations and they are crisp and clear. I have just purchased the amplifier to add to it to see if I can grab a few more channels. I'll see how that works but I can tell you The Leaf has worked better than ANY other antenna I have tried and it's a lot cheaper than most. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I just got my Leaf antenna and it was easy to install and picks up all the basic network stations like CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, and several PBS stations. The HD picture is high quality.

Ditto what Christine said on her review dated 3/31/13. The ONLY issues I have are 1) I do have to point the antenna north here in Los Angeles to get a strong signal for channels 2 and 9 and 2) I do have to tack it up high on the wall to get a strong signal. But since channels 2 and 9 are both broadcast from the top of a big hill in North Hollywood, and I live in South Los Angeles, I would expect to get a better signal from a north facing antenna. And I would expect the higher I place the antenna the better the reception.

All in all, the Mohu Leaf is worth the money and I will be recommending it to my friends. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

Recently ordered the Leaf from the Mohu website and it arrived early! The website is informative and helped me decide that this is the product to fit my needs. I especially liked reading the other customer reviews and pictures. The Leaf arrived early and set-up was super easy. Pushpins were included and I simply tacked it on the wall and connected the wire. I referenced my TV manual to figure out the channel scan, and after that I was ready to go. The Leaf works well and I've been recommending to friends.

Like everyone else my cable/satellite bill was out of control. I stumbled on an ad for the Leaf and was very skeptical, but I ordered it.

I hate writing reviews, so I'll be brief. I was skeptical about this antenna, having tried one of the brand name HDTV rabbit ears products a couple of years ago. That one was just too difficult to tune in--very temperamental about placement and weather.
I've had the Leaf about a month now and I am loving it. I live just west of Winston-Salem and get the 4 primary channels (NBC, CBS, etc.) plus MeTV and PBS in addition to some 5 or 6 other things I don't care about. I don't watch sports at all, so this is just perfect for me. The picture is outstanding on all channels, especially when it's in HD. Placement was a snap. I hung it directly behind my Samsung plasma at first, but just for fun I transferred it to the interior wall to the left of the TV and, Pow!, everything snapped into place. I just love it when a reasonably priced, innovative product like this makes life better. A big Way-to-Go to the Mohu people. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I just received the leaf antenna today and am amazed at how clear the channels are. I get all of the local channels now not just the ones that DirecTV provides. Now, I can get those channels (only ones I watch anyway) without any blackouts which DirecTV has had 2 in the last 4 months where they were haggling over the price with the local networks. The reception seems to be higher than via DirecTV and now I can cancel my DirecTV and save almost $1000 per year. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I bought 2 Mohu antennas, one for each T.V.,with the hope that I could get at least a couple local channels where I live out in the country. I'm about 25 miles from the closest tower. Much to my surprise I got 10! And 8 of those are in HD! Only had to move the one in the living room once to get all the channels. Just find the ONE spot and you're done!
I've got DirecTV, but it's so expensive, and I rarely get my monies worth in the Spring and Summer when I'm outside most of the time.
Now I can deactivate it for 6 months and save $600 a year and still keep up with everything local.
This antenna is nothing short of AWESOME!

Both the Leaf and Leaf Plus work well at my home in Las Vegas

- Review by: Jim

Rating

This is a combined review of the Leaf and Leaf Plus Antenna. Last month, I ordered a Leaf from gomohu.com and earlier this month I ordered a Leaf Plus from amazon.com. I changed the locations of both antennas a few times and that did make a difference in the number of channels which I received. I have the Leaf connected to a Digital to Analog Converter Box which is connected to a Samsung 40 inch TV and the Leaf Plus is connected to four DVD Recorders. I tested the two antennas today, at the same time, by connecting both of them to separate Samsung TV’s, the 40 and a 32 inch, using identical Digital to Analog Converter Boxes. I started a new setup on both converters at the same time. The leaf found 64 channels and the leaf plus found 66 channels. Many of the channels I would probably never watch. Some are Spanish channels and some are radio channels. I checked the signal strength on several channel numbers on both converters at the same time. The signal strength on all the channel numbers was from 5 to 10 points higher on the Leaf Plus than it was on the leaf. As an example, the three local NBC channels in Las Vegas have some of the weaker signals. The signal strength fluctuates a bit and the highest on the leaf was 71 and on the Leaf Plus it was 81. The signals on the stronger channels were basically five points higher on the Leaf Plus than on the Leaf.
The reason I decided to buy the Leaf Plus was because I had the Leaf connected to four DVD Recorders and I lost the NBC Channels to all four recorders. I saw the Leaf Plus advertised and decided to order it because the signal is amplified. Basically I am satisfied with both antennas and am considering cancelling my cable TV and using local channels and Hulu Plus and Netflix to replace the cable. The cable monthly price has increased by 50 percent in the past ten years and is probably ready to increase again in the near future. An increase is usually by around 6 percent. I can save over $40 a month by cancelling the cable and subscribing to both Hulu Plus and Netflix. I could use the $40 for other things. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I couldn't be happier. I've bought a lot of antennas and boosters over the years trying to get a local T V picture to no avail. We had to get our local channels off the dish with no H D.

Excellent Reception

- Review by: Jim

I received my Leaf antenna and hung it up about three weeks ago. I have changed its location a few times and at one point received 67 channels. In the current location, mounted in a corner with the center pointed towards most of the local transmitters, I am receiving 65 channels. I am running it through a converter, for older TV's and have a better picture on most channels, than I have with the cable. I did have it connected to some recorders and was recording local stations, but then lost one of the major network channels, just to the recorders. I still receive that channel through the converter to my TV. I have been here for over thirty years and that one network channel has always been weak, even with the cable. I am thinking of buying a Leaf Plus, subscribing to Netlflix and cancelling my cable, the price of which goes up every year or two and is now over $61.00 a month here in Las Vegas. Less than ten years ago, when I first subscribed to the internet, my total monthly bill for both the cable and internet was less than eighty dollars a month. They increase the price every year or two and now it is over one hundred and eighteen a month, close to a fifty percent increase. I know I could use the extra fifty plus a month, and still watch the programs I normally watch, by using the combination of local channels and Netflix.

As many have stated I have tried all kinds of indoor antennas. I even contructed my own. They all suffered one flaw. They needed constant adjustment after changing channels. Some channels just would not receive well. Also, those antennas are very limited as to where one can mount or sit them.
The Leaf is a whole new ball game! It is so thin I simply taped it to my window. It never needs adjustment. It pull in even the weak stations. The picture is crytal clear. My local stations are 18-25 miles away. There is no need for an amplifier. What more could I want? I cancelled my satellite subscription. Now I only rely on the Leaf, internet TV, and netflix. All this and I still save big money every month without that satellit bill droping by every thirty days. Oh yes, the picture does not cut out when it rains as with satellite. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

Just purchased the "ultimate" leaf... due to our distance from the towers. All I can say is wow! We pulled all the major networks and some locals at about 54-60 miles away. Granted, we are on the west side of a mountain and have a pretty much unobstructed view to the west..but still. The HD picture is excellent and we are very satisfied. Super easy install, anyone can do this. Excellent product that does MORE than promised! (Posted on 5/18/2014)

More channels and great customer service

- Review by: pamelad

I called Mohu customer service (1-855-446-6648) and got right through to a very nice, fun and knowledgeable representative before purchasing this antenna. I was concerned about the phrase in the Amazon description that says "TVs labeled HD ready or HDTV monitors are not considered digital ready."

My kitchen TV -- the new Leaf's companion -- is labeled "HDTV monitor." Since it's only a few months old, the rep said it should be fine. If you have the same concern, though, I'm not suggesting to ignore the Product Description but to call Mohu.

The rep even looked up my Tucson address on TVfool.com and said it's a good thing I called since I was considering purchasing the Leaf Plus Amplified. He said I didn't need to spend the extra bucks, and the amplified is for receiving signals from transmitters further from my home. "People think more is better, but that isn't necessarily so when it comes to antennas." According to him and a few other expert and user reviews I had read, amplified can actually interfere with closer tower reception. I had been to TVfool.com as well as antennaweb.org before calling, but the Mohu rep went above and beyond to help me make more sense of the specs.

I was delighted by the number of channels received (33). For comparison, that's about twice as many as my old rabbit ears HDTV antenna in the kitchen picked up. Before, I was missing the NBC affiliate, or could fiddle around and receive it at the expense of losing the CBS affiliate. This antenna receives all the major networks plus PBS, their sub-channels and a few other stations I'd not realized existed, all without adjusting the antenna position or angle.

The antenna worked right out of the box by placing it on an unobtrusive place on the wall without having to experiment with different locations. And it looks a whole lot better than the old rabbit ears.

Your mileage may vary greatly. The area towers here are located in three different directions on mountains surrounding the city, and my house is in the valley in the greater metro area with the towers four to 22 miles away by air. You might need to experiment with placement, but I didn't at all. I just put it on the wall where it was unobtrusive and am quite sure I'm getting all over-the-air signals, including HD, available in the area.

Be sure to take a minute to read the quick Get Started insert. Four easy steps.

We cut the cable a long time ago and have even less justification for cable now with the Paper Thin Leaf. I refuse to pay for cable and deal with their price-gouging and lousy customer service.

I'm wowed by this antenna. It even picks up more channels than our supposedly digital-ready rooftop antenna connected to the main TV. I don't know if that's due to the respective locations of the antennas and TVs, or if it's because of the great technology and design of the Paper Thin Leaf. One thing I'm sure of is that it beats the old rabbit ears HDTV antenna, since it's in the same location with the same TV.

The Best Antenna Ever

I bought a leaf antenna for my Grandmother and hooked it up to the Mohu Jolt. What a great combination! Every channel came in as clear as a bell. I wouldn't recommend anything else. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I hooked the Leaf up and went from around 30 channels to 50! I've never had much luck getting Fox here in Seattle, and it now comes in perfectly. My old Radio Shack antenna would also often provide low signal causing frequent drop outs. The Leaf provides a great and solid signal. Can't recommend this antenna enough! I also called the service dept regarding a shipping concern and they were super helpful and friendly. A++++! (Posted on 5/18/2014)

I am literally blown away by the awesome reception by the Leaf antenna. It may be small, but great things come in small packages! I was hoping for 4 or 5 channels. We have 10 channels with great reception on all. Bye-bye cable! With this antenna and our Roku, we are set. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

good product

The Leaf works well. In Queens, NY, I was unable to get PBS & a few lesser stations. The Leaf gives a good picture.

The $4.95 .stand is 20 cents of plastic. It doesn't even stand, unless you use the adhesive tape on the bottom. But finding the right position requires being able to move it. Imagine buying a flat screen tv & being told the stand is "extra." Or buying a chair , but the legs are "extra." Although Mohu has a good antenna product, this $4.95 junk stand makes me question their business acumen & sense of customer relations. (Posted on 5/18/2014)

a must in every disaster

I just went through one of the worst experiences of my life. Hurricane Sandy arrived on October 29th. The wind wasn't bad but the surge filled up my basement with water and took out my electric. The entire coast line was a disaster. I fired up the generator on the front porch and ran extension cords to power up the kitchen. I disconnected the cable and connected my Mohu antenna and was able to see the aftermath of the storm and see all the devastation that people were going through. I realized at the time how fortunate we were because of that little antenna and was able to share information with my neighbors. I highly recommend your product to everybody. Thank you for an affordable superior product. (Posted on 5/16/2014)

Works Great

Bought this several months ago just out of curiosity and maybe to hook to a spare t.v. Then came Hurricane Sandy and the 'Leaf' took on a whole new level of importance.
Fios was out - TV running via generator.
Connected the Leaf - did a 'digital' channel search
and was watching news in no time !
It wont get every single channel - and proximity to broadcast source seems to affect it of course .. but you get enough to keep you occupied !
It came up with about 27 channels fo rme - we live 10 miles from NYC so I assume this is 'best case' but this is definatley a must have for a few reasons.. One including emergencies !
Highly recommend this product !! (Posted on 5/16/2014)

I haven't bought the leaf plus yet, but Karina from Mohu was very helpful in helping me chose the right antenna for my location. She even did the fool/tv analysis for me and told me the best location to place the antenna for me, it was east facing. I plan to order the leaf plus with the extention cable soon.
Thank you Karina for being knowledgable and friendly. (Posted on 5/16/2014)

I was a little skeptical but nopeful when i ordered it a few weeks ago. When i hooked it up to my tv, it pulled in twice the number of channels compared to my giant ugly 4 bay antenna, even in the basement!
I went ahead and got another one for the main floor. (Posted on 5/16/2014)

- Review by: Good, but...

The antenna works well, but if you live near high voltage power lines, a windy day will disrupt reception and cause frequent pixilation. On calm days I get great reception. If you live near power transmission lines be aware of this problem.

Get The Stand

- Review by: Buckeye

Rating

Got the stand and now am able to accurately aim the basic mohu panel which gave us 5 "green" identified channels ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and PBS with their secondary and tertiary channels plus a bonus channel and its secondary that are outside the green but come in fine. Recommend you have a small weight to anchor the stand and allow you to aim the panel, we had a book case to put it onto and that did the trick. Neat prouduct, I'd like to see a heavy duty unit for the attic with splitter for multiple set use or maybe an external unit for our old tower. (Posted on 5/16/2014)

I am now receiving almost all locally broadcast channels, whereas before I was only receiving a few very well, some sporadically, and the ABC affiliate not at all. I went from 4 channels to 19. I do have to reposition it to receive one channel, but that is nothing compared to readjusting the rabbit ears each time I switched stations. I recommend the Mohu antenna and have referred a couple of people already. (Posted on 5/16/2014)

I love reading Home Theater magazine, and on page 18 of the September 2012 issue is a HOT review on the Leaf indoor HDTV Antenna. Five stars for value, four and 3/4 stars for performance and Features gets four stars. If you know Home Theater magazine, you know they don't toss accolades like grannies might toss popcorn to the pigeons. If they say it is great, its because they tested it and found it to be so.

Like others, I thought this product was a hoax, but found that it actually works perfectly well in our hilly area, where we were unable to get a signal from the local station. We are in a remote location, so I don't know what it would be like in a city, but we are now able to get our local station perfectly clearly! Thanks. (Posted on 5/16/2014)

Mine delivered today. the hook up is easy...tape it to the wall until you find the sweet spot for your channels. Keep scanning your TV and move the antenna a little each time if you have to. But I got about 20 channels on the 3rd scan and the clarity is awesome. I wouldn't know it was from an antenna...it's giving me the same satellite quality!
I get to cancel my DirecTV at the end of the month and can't wait!

This antenna is like a breath of fresh air! It took a little repositioning to find the best location then it performed as advertised.

I recently purchased a Mohu after much research and with a little disbelief. I was told by a local Radio Shack that has been selling antennas for over 35 years that I would receive no signal without a 12' antenna in my back yard. I received my Mohu opened the box and was convinced that I just bought into a new scam. I hooked up the antenna and scanned for channels. To my surprise I picked up 10 channels all of which were crystal clear. The following morning I woke to torrential rain which had knocked out our Dish TV as it always does. I switched the TV input to antenna and was able to watch my morning news uninterrupted. I will be canceling my Dish and buying a Roku to fill in my TV viewing gaps, and save $1,200+ a year. Thanks Mohu! (Posted on 5/16/2014)

My mother got the Mohu-Leaf antenna for a spare room TV. After extensive research she bought the Leaf, and it worked perfectly.Capturing more channels than before with no real interference or signal searches. Can't believe how something so thin and easy works so well.
I was so impressed when a I was staying with a friend who does not have cable at all - so full time atenna TV. She was constantly having to get up and re-adjust her antenna when her dogs would walk by or someone changed their position on the couch or to get different channels and even then it would cut in and out.
I bought her the Leaf and we put it in a nearby window and no more problems. She got two more movie channels she didn't have before, along with all sorts of others. No interference or choppy picture no matter who walks in front of it. The picture looks better too. There are very rare signal searches and after a week we have NOT had to move the Leaf antenna even once. So impressed! Got it on Father's Day special to boot. So I highly recommend it.

I guess it depends on where you are and the signal strength of the various channels, but we were able to obtain a local channel so that we can keep up with weather and news.......and the Olympics! It is a crisp, clear HD reception. I love that it is so easy to install - we had it going in a few minutes. The flexibility on where you can mount this device is phenomenal. You can even put it behind a picture. We have it behind our draperies. No one knows it's there. It has given us exactly what we were looking for. And fast!?!? From the time I ordered it until it was delivered blew my mind! Thank you!! (Posted on 5/16/2014)

After reading countles reviews on many different kinds of antennas, I decided to buy this unit and came straight to this website and got a better deal. Then when it came in the mail it was VERY EASY to hook up to TV. I live 30+ miles outside of Raleigh, NC and right off I was able to pick up 28 local channels and they all come in very clear. All I had to do was tape it to the window closet to the TV. Paid for itself in the first month after kicking cable out. (Posted on 5/16/2014)

Already had a basic antenna and was displeased with how sensitive the signal was especially if I had a breeze coming through the window or a fan running.

Used in a number of places within the building...low reception. Upon moving to a 1st floor window, still little reception.

The leaf antenna is better than I thought it would be, but not as good as I had hoped.

I just got it today, and I was AMAZED after I installed it! I used to use cable as air antenna until, it was no longer possible. I then bought an Amplified Antenna. I thought my TV sucks before I used the LEAF Antenna. I wasn't getting as good quality pictures with the Cable and the Amplified Antenna. But after installing the Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna, my TV for the first time - it looks GREAT (that is the reception pictures) - so, that's what HDTV should look like. What's more, the Leaf Antenna doesn't need electrical power as the Amplified Antenna that I got. That will sure save money on electricity. The Leaf antenna is just on top on my TV laying down. I place it on my top of my TV as I installed the cable, and saw I was getting a 100 % reception even just laying on top of my TV. I not going to need to hang it, as I see it. I'm not sure about others, but it might work the same way else, other might need to hang it as recommended. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna. (Posted on 5/16/2014)
