u/rfidtag · 81 pointsr/technology

This just happened to me too. I simply went on to amazon and ordered a Mohu Leaf for $35 from the warehouse deals.

http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-Leaf-Paper-Thin-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8

It picked up like 50 channels here. Best thing I purchased in a long time.

u/PainMatrix · 30 pointsr/pics

That looks like the leaf. I tried it in my place but couldn't really get good reception. Well done OP.

u/hlharper · 21 pointsr/pics

I got the Mohu a few years back. I really like it.

u/ElGuaco · 18 pointsr/redsox

You don't need an outdoor antenna unless you're in a very rural area. Most indoor antennas will pick up stations within 40-50 miles. I just got one and I can get stations in RI and NH. Boston broadcasters are rock solid and I'm actually thinking of dropping cable.

u/akatherder · 16 pointsr/technology

The three channel you listed are just standard over-the-air "network tv" channels. You can pick those up with an antenna for free. I think they're actually pretty damn good HD quality these days.

I've heard the "leaf" antennas are good: http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-MH-110583-Antenna-Premium-Connectors/dp/B004QK7HI8

You can go crazy and get huge outdoor antennas, but I don't think most people need those. /r/cordcutters and /r/ota should have some pretty decent info you can search up.

u/NewLifeInAustralia · 9 pointsr/news

We've been without cable for years. Between Netflix, Hulu, a decent HDTV antenna and torrents, I don't think we miss a thing. Sure, we may have to wait until tomorrow to see it, but we DVRed everything and watched it later anyway. If you can do without random flipping, go for it!

u/Tripleberst · 8 pointsr/cordcutters

You need an antenna.

Boston should have some great channels if you're near the city. Enjoy.

u/tk423 · 8 pointsr/nyc

For indoor antenna its hard to beat the Mohu Leaf Paper-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna.

Its about $40 on Amazon and provides the best quality reception of any indoor antenna I have had. (Some channels depend on your line of sight, particularly PIX for some odd reason).

EDIT: Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QK7HI8/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/CatrickStrayze · 6 pointsr/technology

The Mohu Leaf antenna is the one I use. It picks up stations from the two cities that I'm in the middle of, each about 30-35 miles away. Plus, it's made in the USA. They also make a powered version that is supposed to get even better reception, but I can't speak for that one since I don't have it.

I use that antenna and Amazon Prime or "other" streaming sites for movies.

u/ChrisF79 · 5 pointsr/cordcutters

Couldn't you get a cheap HDTV antenna? The Leaf is phenomenal and picks up signals for me that are around 40 miles away.

u/redditballs · 5 pointsr/Frugal

If you live in an urban area, you will most likely get the signal to watch your major sports on ABC, FOX, NBC, & CBS in HD with this. I am watching Jeopardy right now and watching the hockey game tonight.

Put your zip code here to see what kind of signal you will get.

u/Lemzz · 5 pointsr/technology

This one is actually a lot better. I use it and it tunes ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, and a half dozen other things in perfectly clear HD. I have it mounted behind my TV, but you can put it anywhere and hook it to your coax system.

I'll emphasize again that this tunes HD, which even on a cable provider like Comcast or Warner is usually an EXTRA charge. It's a great option for me since the only TV I usually watch is on the main networks.

u/TMWNN · 5 pointsr/sanfrancisco

Yes to all of your questions, assuming that your TV has an over-the-air tuner.

I use another model, but the Moho Leaf is an antenna with very strong reviews. Or, start off with a $15 Radio Shack model.

u/dardin · 5 pointsr/Tucson

I picked up one of these a month ago after cutting cable. I have it near a window and it picks up about 29 channels, though half or more are in Spanish. The local HD channels which is all I care about look great.

u/Jdeguzman · 5 pointsr/chicago

I have the Mohu Leaf and it picks it up great. but it also depends on what floor he is on, distance from the tower, etc.

u/Drefen · 4 pointsr/Atlanta

The major networks broadcast over-the-air as well as through cable. If you dont have cable but want to watch the shows, you would need an HD antenna attached to your television or TV tuner card in your PC. There is no monthly fee or cost beyond the antenna unless you want to add a DVR of your own.

What Aeroe does is moves the location of the antenna to their own data center and permits you to stream that same content over the interwebs to you PC or laptop. They justify the monthly expense by offering DVR service and "leasing" you the antenna.





u/AcidsEcho · 3 pointsr/xboxone

This is what most people are using successfully for OTA in the US:
http://amzn.com/B00I2ZBD1U

I recommend this antenna: http://amzn.com/B004QK7HI8

Edit: Oops, you already have an antenna. Oh well, Ill leave it there for others.

u/sleepytimegirl · 3 pointsr/personalfinance

We have one similar to this. Mohu Leaf 30 TV Antenna, Indoor, 40 Mile Range, Original Paper-thin, Reversible, Paintable, 4K-Ready HDTV, 10 Foot Detachable Cable, Premium Materials for Performance, USA Made, MH-110583 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ej8-Ab87CRMHE

u/Anotherscientist · 3 pointsr/Atlanta

I just did a ton of research on which TV antenna would work best in the north/east sides of Atlanta. My $20 Target version wasn't cutting it and I wanted something a little bit better.

This one comes out on top. Apparently you should stay away from amplified antenna if it's kept in doors, as the amplification can actually keep it from getting more channels. Amplification is better for outdoor antenna and a money-making gimmick for indoors. With this Mohu one, I jumped to getting almost 90 channels from the 50 or so I was poorly getting with my cheapie one.

u/eyestalks · 3 pointsr/phoenix

We only have over air signal, and we swear by our Leaf. It's inexpensive, looks great, has the strongest signal of the 5 we tried, and gives us lots of channels. We watch about 20 channels, and more are available that we just didn't program.

I'm at Camelback and the I17 and only have a little trouble with distant channels during severe storms.

u/miket019 · 3 pointsr/cordcutters

I cut the cord 6 months ago, went from paying $140 a month to $35, I got rid of everything except internet. It was a no brainer, can't believe it took me that long to get rid of cable.

For television, I got the Paper Thin Leaf anthena from amazon and it works perfect.

http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Thin-Leaf-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333694970&sr=8-1

u/tonofclay · 3 pointsr/baltimore

I live right outside Baltimore and have used one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-MH-110583-Antenna-Premium-Connectors/dp/B004QK7HI8

It works very well and the picture is great.

You can use this site to figure out the best place to put your antenna based on the direction the stations are coming from
http://disablemycable.com/station-finder/

There are outdoor antennas as well that you could get but in my opinion the Leaf indoor is the easiest

u/RedStag86 · 3 pointsr/drunk

Save more and drop cable completely. I promise you won't miss it between Netflix and Hulu. You could also get something like this if you find yourself missing broadcast channels or the news. One time purchase, and it's free TV from then on! Plus, over the air signals are actually of higher quality than what your cable provider compresses and sends to you.

u/Otdole · 3 pointsr/cordcutters

Help from the more knowledgeable would be appreciated. I live in zip 23508--here's an AntennaWeb map of the area.

I've got a non-amplified [Mohu Leaf antenna] (http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-Leaf-Paper-Thin-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1405344490&sr=8-5&keywords=antenna) mounted in a first-floor window facing south. The antenna is connected via a 25-foot good quality coax to a Tivo box.

My reception is terrible. Lots of pixilation and audio dropouts.

My research led me to think that the Mohu Leaf was an adequate device for my situation. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

u/pcj · 2 pointsr/tulsa

I recommend the Mohu Leaf, it has great range and picks up a ton of channels.

u/michael73072 · 2 pointsr/thelastresort

Haha, thanks! If you are close enough for an indoor antenna I would reccomend the Mohu Leaf. I have mine hidden behind a painting above my TV.

u/ashabanapal · 2 pointsr/Charlotte

I got a Mohu Leaf Antenna. It's great for what I need. Some locations may require a more high-powered antenna, but it gets great reception for my house and is very unobtrusive.

Time Warner blows. Between OTA, Netflix, and Redbox I don't miss them or DirecTV one bit. Their product is not worth what they charge.

u/Charm_City_Charlie · 2 pointsr/baltimore

A friend was telling me he used one that was about the same size and thickness as a laminated sheet of paper with a wire hanging off. He said that he got better reception with that than with his expensive powered antenna - not sure of the brand info, I'll report back if I find out.

Edit: It may have been this based on the reviews.

u/MDBill · 2 pointsr/cordcutters

Location within your apartment can certainly make a significant difference. But, not all TV tuners are equally sensitive either, so the TV equipment itself may also be part of the problem. Try moving the smaller bedroom TV to the living room location of the other TV set. Rescan using the smaller set with the larger set's antenna. If you still receive the 15+ (or so) channels on the small set, you're almost certainly dealing with a less sensitive tuner on the large set.

Otherwise you've probably got a location problem. Is the living room window north facing and the bedroom south facing? If I'm reading the TV Fool polar graph correctly, I'd expect your south facing results to be better than your north facing.

Also, most DT has moved to UHF now and old-style rabbit ear antennas are not the best choice for UHF reception. The Mohu Leaf (unamplified) improved my OTA reception. Of course no guarantees and YMMV.

u/frankieg33 · 2 pointsr/htpc

thanks for taking a look and giving me your thoughts!

I looked at the Ivy Bridge cpus and it doesn't look like anything is going to be worth it in my price range. Atleast not for now. I think I will drop down to the i3-2100T for the 35Ws (although it goes from HD 3000 to HD 2000).

Thanks for the info on bitstreaming. I think I will be fine, I won't be able to hear the difference anyway.

How are you recording broadcast TV? I am torn between an internal card and the HD Homerun. The issue I have with the HD Homerun is that my TV/antenna are in a different room than the router, so it may have to be the internal card. I feel like this one is fine. I have the Mohu Leaf antenna and it works perfectly. I am a bit confused about analog vs digital, but I am pretty sure I am 100% digital, not sure though.

u/kevinstonge · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

I get NBC via my HD antenna.

my $40 antenna gets me 20 free HD channels over the air.

u/soggit · 2 pointsr/cordcutters

this may be worth trying if you have quite good OTA reception in your area. it can just be attached to the back of your TV so you never see it.

http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Thin-Leaf-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341522580&sr=8-2&keywords=indoor+antenna

u/TurkAlert · 2 pointsr/technology

The antenna is pretty good, but placement was a bit of an issue - it took some time to find a good location near the TV. We get most of the major networks and PBS without a problem, but some get glitchy once in a while. I'm thinking about upgrading to this thin HD antenna, supposed to be easy to place and very highly rated. Hope your setup works out for you!

u/equivocalcat · 2 pointsr/techsupport

The Mohu Leaf is supposed to be incredibly good for its price range. They also have an amplified version.

Reviews (souce: lifehacker.com)

u/narmer65 · 2 pointsr/houston

I agree with Virindi's assessment. For local channels I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-Leaf-Paper-Thin-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8

and it works well. The games are actually much, much crisper then Comcast and UVerse (yes, I have gone through both).

u/BriscoCountyJr · 2 pointsr/cordcutters

I bought a Leaf antenna off of Amazon and that thing has been amazing. It's very subtle and barely notice it if you stick it close to a window or something. I get full HD channels for all the major broadcast channels (and PBS) and a ton of local channels. $40 on Amazon right now.
http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-Leaf-Paper-Thin-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8

Paired it with a signal booter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NC8IB0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and have had zero signal issues. Disclaimer, we do live in the middle of a large city which might help.

u/Jam_Phil · 2 pointsr/cordcutters

Yes, your cheapo antenna should work fine. I've got the Leaf version of that same antennae (this one) and it works great. There are occasional issues where I have to change the angle/location a bit in order to pick up a channel, but once I found the sweet spot in my room, that all seemed to go away. Haven't had to move it like a month.

If you're going to upgrade to the $100 antenna, it's really only worth it if you mount it on the roof. Did this at my folks place and it works unbelievably well. The biggest benefit is that we ran a splitter and hooked up three tvs with one antenna.

u/SakaguchiQuackers · 2 pointsr/Charleston

You're going to need an antenna or a small decoder the box from Comcast to continue getting local channels. I recommend a Mohu Leaf. The quality of picture you get over the air is going to blow your mind after what you've been watching.

u/Z06Boricua · 2 pointsr/cordcutters

I'm no expert, but being less than 10 miles away from all your major antennas, (you lucky bastard,) I'd be willing to bet that you would be perfectly fine with one of THESE. If that price bothers you, you can always try THIS. I don't know what your DIY antenna is like, but with either one of these you should definitely get most of those nearby stations... at least more than your current 4. Good luck!

u/welostmagic · 2 pointsr/thebachelor

Target and Amazon sell these! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=psdc_172665_t2_B00JC9J2NQ They're super-easy to set up. Just make sure you hang it from the top of the wall so you can get better signal. I have one and my parents do too and they've been great.

u/jakematthew · 2 pointsr/CHIBears

Given your location, any antenna will work just fine. I've had great results with this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007MXZB2/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_5Ct3tb1E3H9SH

If you want something more discreet, I'd go with this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kFt3tb0EKY1HK

u/lechevalnoir · 2 pointsr/pittsburgh

Ditto and we use this: Mohu Leaf

u/Beautox · 2 pointsr/cordcutters

I'm using the mohu leaf and am getting pretty decent reception. I'm in a 7th floor apartment so receiving the local stations is a breeze but the next major city is sort of iffy.

u/Homomojojojo · 2 pointsr/chicago

I'd probably go with http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-Leaf-Paper-Thin-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1411839430&sr=1-1&keywords=mofu+leaf. It works very well. Has better reviews than the RCN antenna and you can get a thin version with up to a 50 mile radius.

Antennas will work inherently better placed in a window and something like the Leaf is perfect for window placement.

u/wollp · 2 pointsr/madisonwi

I live on the East end of Willy street and this antenna seems to work pretty well, there's probably other cheaper choices out there too.

u/pbebbs3 · 1 pointr/Seahawks

An alternative that I purchased when I cancelled cable was the Mohu leaf digital antenna. The image quality is sharper than cable, it's free after the antenna and you get all of your local channels. If the Hawks are on FOX, CBS, NBC. You can watch them all this way without dealing with the low quality Internet streams. If they play on ESPN, go to the bar or BWW. Hope this helps.

This is the antennae we use and it works well, although if I had to do it over again I'd go with the amplified model. Using the unamplified version we only get ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, FOX, and CW.

u/the_zero · 1 pointr/cordcutters

The did the same in my area a few weeks ago. Bought a leaf antenna and now I get 3x the SD channels, but now in HD.

u/yasire · 1 pointr/techsupport

I got this one and was happy with it. Not sure how it compares to others as I haven't tested too many of them...

u/sparklingwaterll · 1 pointr/cordcutters

I like the mohu leaf, its discrete and very cheap. I think its the perfect one if your just outside a city. 5 to 30 miles. I would also recommend find a friend or parent etc that does have cable. Ask them for their cable/sat user name and password. I give my friend access to my Netflix for his password. Then you can use it to log into all the web streaming those channels offer, HBO, Showtime, Stars, FX, AMC, TNT etc. Basically all of them. The account can be used up to 5 different unique locations. So you wouldn't be depriving your benefactor of anything.

Edit: I am in NYC too. Keep in mind if your in Manhattan you will have to experiment with where to put the antenna because the buildings interfere. But my friends in North Jersey and Brooklyn get great reception with no problems with the mohu.

u/79ford · 1 pointr/cordcutters

u/Gtarumble · 1 pointr/xboxone

It gets all the channels in HD. It's a very thin indoor antenna that you can just put it behind your TV.

u/tipsqueal · 1 pointr/politics

They did away with analog antennas. You can get digital antennas and get your local channels in HD. You even get sub-channels, so some of your local news channels will have a sub-channel dedicated to the weather.

Example antenna:

u/MoreLogicalThanYou · 1 pointr/technology

Throw in an HD antenna for the networks since it's a one time cost.

u/djangobliss · 1 pointr/boston

I also have a couple of Leafs (Leaves?) and get a great reception in a basement as well as above ground. They're reviewed very well

Sorry to be late on answering, but this one is absolutely amazing, and you can hide it behind a picture. Amazing.

u/oorza · 1 pointr/nfl

It was available last season without a DirectTV subscription and it's available this year without one as well: http://www.directv.com/sports/nfl-national-market

You can't watch locally broadcast games on the service though, because of the NFL blackout rules (not DTV's fault, the NFL's fault)... you can buy a HDTV tuner card + antenna for your PC for under $100 total (a + b) and get the OTA HDTV streams on your PC via Windows Media Center. You will either get great quality or no TV at all because it's a digital signal, so don't worry about fuzziness like old pre-digital OTA TV signals.

u/Trendy2 · 1 pointr/HuluLive

With a digital antenna, yes. Uncompressed HD as well - looks 5x better than what Hulu Live was sending. I just use the Mohu Leaf antenna, about $40 and they work really well in our home.

I have the live TV thing, and got one of the paper-thin antennae's, i pick up about 30 channels, (DC metro area)... i think it works pretty well... on my other TV, i use my roku and enjoy having the Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus... definitely miss that on the boxee though.

If you live in a good metro area, i recommend the live-tv adapter... get this antennae and you will get most digital channels (http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Thin-Leaf-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346157879&sr=8-1&keywords=paper+thin+antenna)

u/SuperAwesomeFace · 1 pointr/pics

I recently upgraded from bunny ears to the mohu leaf metro. Best decision ever. I get twice as many channels and they don't glitch. I recommend searching for a map of the towers around you so you can see how far away they are and determine the range you'll need.

u/wrong_bananas · 1 pointr/cordcutters

most states have laws that require landlords to allow tenants to mount roof antennas on request. Check with yours.

Either that or a Mohu leaf is a pretty good indoor one

u/Corncobtacular · 1 pointr/cordcutters

You have a similar TVFool Analysis to me, i.e. very close to a good number of towers.

I have had excellent reception with this Mohu Leaf from Amazon. Simple as hell to set up and got all of the "green" channels according to TVFool page.

EDIT: Note that the Mohu is excellent at picking up the UHF channels, but the VHF channels don't always come in as well (though i still get them)

u/Sharks2431 · 1 pointr/television

I don't know the quality of that specific model, but I use an indoor, unamplified Mohu Leaf and it works great.

It's as simple as plugging it in, hanging it up on the wall and doing a scan with your TV. You may have to move it around to find the best picture, but it's usually easy to find a sweet spot.

u/HayesNSean · 1 pointr/lincoln

I believe I have an omnidirectional antenna, It is just a flat box, that lookls like a sheet of paper, sort of looks like the picture on this item here. Do you know why I wouldn't be able to find ABC?

u/coltsblazers · 1 pointr/AskMen

In regards to TV... If you watch basic channels, buy a Mohu Leaf. For just a one time fee of $30-50 depending on the model you get, you get all the basic stuff for an easy to set up antenna that works well.

I honestly only use it for football, but I get a good portion of the games now rather than buying cable or satellite.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I haven't purchased an antenna yet as I'm completely new to this. Some background: I live in Manhattan in an apartment building so I'm assuming I can pick up some strong signals?

I've done some research... Will the Leaf Metro suffice or should I get the Leaf 30 (or something else entirely)? http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Thin-Leaf-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8

u/daylight_rock · 1 pointr/CFB

Good HD antenna: $40. We like the Mohu Leaf. Check this map for your location's channel lineup, but you'll very likely get CBS/NBC/ABC/FOX for free, forever.

Apple TV: $99. If you can acquire cable/dish login account login credentials from a friend or family member that isn't cord-cutting, you now have every ESPN channel (and the SEC Network, and the Longhorn Network) in HD for free.

Those credentials also probably work for Fox Sports Go, which means you'll have FS1 and FS2, although there's no Apple TV app for that.

I live in a studio apartment in NYC so right now I just use my ThinkPad and connect it to my TV via a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. I tend to delete stuff right after I watch it, so I don't really have a need for that much space. I also share a Netflix account with my sister and I have Amazon Prime, so I will go to those services first before downloading something. I also have an Xbox that sometimes carries the load and I will typically stream those services through it. Then I have a Mohu Leaf antenna to watch live sports on the networks (the uncompressed quality on that can be amazing). Most of the shows me and my girlfriend watch we get through downloading via the pirate bay or other sources after it airs. We both tend to work late so this works out fairly well and we don't have to wait like 8 days or something silly, they're right up in HD a few minutes after airing.

Right now it is mostly a manual process. Our building has free FiOs WiFi so everything just gets connected to that (and as a result that's why things like chromecast, apple TV, or streaming from the PC to the Xbox won't work). I am a big football and hockey fan who live out of market from my home teams, so those are really the only two services I consider purchasing directly from their sources. (But to be honest, this past season I just used VLC to stream the Gamecenter NHL games and the Netherlands VPN trick combined with the Madden 25 deal to watch NFL).

If this was to be more of a "permanent" setting though, I would definitely look to upgrade to a stand-alone PC that would solely function as an HTPC. Also, as I said, my process right now is pretty manual. I would love to have it be more of an automated process, and having a dedicated machine with a larger hard drive would help. But right now this fits my needs fairly well and has a minimal impact on my wallet. If you'd like to know more or want to build your own, check out:

Well, if you're still in the 20th century, sure. Now there's the Mohu Leaf, which I've heard is quite good

I purchased a lifetime license for PlayOn and the channel runs quite well on Roku.

For live sports, I got myself a Mohu Leaf Antenna.

Enjoy the cordless living!

Mohu has been doing it for at least 2 years now.

I think it's misleading. This is akin to selling stereo speakers, and saying "FLAC Ready"

I will be watching it from a Mohu Leaf HDTV Antenna.

Actually, my fiance and I are moving in about a week, so we dug it out of our already-packed boxes and put it back up just so we will be able to watch Cosmos live tonight!

EDIT: I'm apparently being downvoted for linking an antenna. That's exactly what bobpndrgn asked someone to do?

u/Mr_You · 1 pointr/cordcutters

Because it's not designed for VHF stations which still exist in a lot of markets. In the Amazon link provided it even states in the Customer Q&A that it can't pick up VHF efficiently.

I would love for VHF to go away for TV and reuse that spectrum for broadband internet service, but it may be a while.

I cut the cord years ago and have no intentions of going back. One suggestion - look into an HD antenna similar to the Mohu Leaf: http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-Leaf-Paper-Thin-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8

I get razor sharp over the air programming. A lot of it is mindless daytime tv but it's really nice having live, local news, that was the one thing I was really missing.

You can't go wrong with the Mohu Leaf. Only get an amplified one of you do not live near the broadcast tower.

I had a Mohu Leaf when I lived in a townhouse and I was surprised all the channels I picked up with such a thin antenna.
