Would this antenna work well in a rural area in a ranch style home surrounded by trees?
@@danneydailey6357 No you'd likely need an outdoor antenna
@@tbillyjoeroth think what you want it's a decent antenna.
I use a Mohu Leaf (unamplified) antenna in my attic. I tried a big CM but the signal strength was no better on the CM, so I stayed with the Mohu. 1 tip though, the MOHU is highly directional, so move it small amounts, while watching the TV signal strength, to get the best results.
The supreme court, of all places, has ruled that homeowners associations cannot stop you from installing an antenna. Look it up. That signal is being broadcast on your dime, for your benefit. They have no right to block your reception.
it is fcc actually
@@LLCoolPass Exactly. It is Federal law and is quite clear. The Supreme Court had nothing to do with it. The law was also updated a few years back to allow a renter to put up an antenna if they have an "exclusive use" area such as a patio.
That blew me away. Most of the antennas that look like a place mat work as well as a place mat would. The results were totally unexpected.
Well, Mohu originated the flat design, so it stands to reason that it works better than the knockoffs. Though, CNET seems to think that the Channel Master Flatenna is better than Mohu's offerings.
Very professionally done review. I liked that you're a professional in this field and used already tested antennas as reference points.
If your HOA tells you not to erect a TV antenna they are grossly exceeding their authority.
An FCC rule restricts HOAs from preventing homeowners from erecting TV antennas in their exclusive-use areas, such as balconies.
If the HOA doesnt like your antenna tell them -- Take it up with the Feds.
You are correct. I am pinning this comment but will make a video on this topic in the future.
Les B We used to live in a neighborhood that got invaded shortly after we moved there by all these very low end Ryan Homes. We had people not mowing their yards, cars parked in the grass, toys strung all over the place, and millions of kids. Yet, our HOA hassled us for putting up an outdoor antenna. Go figure!
@@Noone9227 Yes, they seem pretty selective. In a community where I used to live, they would let kids run wild. They would also let them run around front yards naked until they were maybe 4 years old. But they would not let a guy park his $600,000. RV in his driveway, which, BTW, was more expensive than all except 2 of the 255 houses in the community. The RV was spotless, you could see yourself in the finish and no one was living in it. But they acted like he was Cousin Eddie from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, "dumping the shitter into the sewer."
If you own the land, you can actually put your antenna up anywhere on your property which will give you the best reception. You do not have to ask permission from the HOA. Also, the law was updated a few years ago to allow for renters to place an outdoor antenna on land which is for their "exclusive use" such as a patio.
So today my flat antenna peeled apart and revealed all that’s inside is aluminum foil and a transformer. Man was I scammed. I could’ve easily put one together myself all for a few dollars.
This is also doubles as an excellent FM antenna! I live in an urban area with strong tv signals anyway, mostly on UHF. I just used a passive splitter to the FM tuner and it increased the reception/ sound quality of those FM stations that I was previously using an indoor 300 ohm FM antenna to receive. Nice.
A antenna survey of 100 Wifes has been performed.
Conclusion :
Wife-Approved.
*wives (but, yes, the singular is "wife")
Question: Where did you place it? Was it connected right in back of the TV? or did you place it near a window?
I have 2 Clearstream 4V antennas and on most days they are good for 40-45 miles. Granted I have it placed inside my apartment because I have no other choice. At night I've receive 120 miles so when these companies say "120 mile reception" It's sort of misleading and people think that these mileages will be all the time all day. No. 65 miles is probably a nighttime tropo distance as you said the atmospheric conditions changed. Love the antenna reviews man.
Jeffrey Downer I have a Clearstream 2V mounted in the back window of a travel van. It replaces a Mohu leaf antenna that I bought at Sam’s club. The Clearstream is much better.
I have a Mohu Leaf and after a lot of work I found a position that usually is able to pick up the main networks, but even then the signal is borderline and often drops. If I bought the Jolt amplifier to go along with my leaf would I realistically expect better performance? Would you recommend a different amplifier instead? I liked the look of the Antop amplifier, which had a manual gain knob, but the Amazon listing deceptively included reviews for totally unrelated devices, resulting in an inaccurate rating, and filtering reviews made it seem like mixed reviews.
Amplifiers are only to make up for signal loss in Long coaxial cables. They will not magically bring in new signals that are not hitting the small antenna in the first place. It's likely the building material of your house is killing your signal. I'd recommend a larger antenna mounted Outdoors if you are having problems
@@AntennaMan I have the leaf mounted in a window, but I'm in an apartment, and first floor. I don't really have a better option than that. When checking my HD Homerun signal meter, I can see some weak signals that are there but not strong enough to come in, and the ones that do come in have near borderline signal strength. In my area, there are 38 channels and I'm only getting 11 right now, and even those aren't consistent.
I would be happy just getting the channels I see now to be a more consistent signal, but getting extra channels would be a nice bonus if possible.
Try using a flat coaxial cable to place it out the window
if you use heavier cable with the mohu it performs much better. I currently use it non amplified.very satisfied.
After seeing this I was excited to replace my "GE Pro Outdoor Yagi" (mounted indoors pointing at a window) with this Mohu Supreme Pro, in order to more reliably pull in our ABC affiliate at 174 MHz. The Tivo signal meter often didn't agree with the four signal light pips on the Mohu. I was not able to beat the yagi performance with the Mohu. I found it odd the Mohu directions clearly show the amp at the TV end of the coax (not the antenna end) in an indoor setup. Maybe before I return it I'll try the amp with the yagi.
QUESTION IM SURE YOU NEVER BEEN ASKED! EVER! lol - Wall or Glass Which Is Easier For Reception OR Is There REally A Difference?
If you live within 20 miles or so of the broadcast towers and are not blocked by a building most anything will work. I have one similar to the 1st one and it's just a generic Amazon brand. Picks up all the major networks and their sub channels.
I got this antenna and I returned it. I live in between Cleveland and Toledo. I previously had one of those $20 flat antennas. With the antenna, I was able to get a clear signal of Cleveland’s UHF stations (NBC 3, ABC 5, PBS 25, IND 55, and UNIVISION 61). I also got spotty reception of Akron’s UHF stations (Court TV 17, ION 23, TCT 47, and PBS 49), one of Toledo’s UHF stations (NBC 24), and one of Erie’s UHF stations (FOX 66). The spotty stations mostly on came in the summer. Outside of then, the signal meter would say the stations were at around 32. The big problem with that antenna is, because it didn’t have any UHF elements, I couldn’t pick up three major Cleveland stations (FOX 8, CBS 19, and CW 43) or three major Toledo stations (CBS 11, ABC 13, and CW 13). So I got the Mohu, because I looked like you got your VHF stations in well and all UHF stations were coming in with good quality. When I got the Mohu, it was unable to pick up most my stations. I was only able to get a signal from NBC 3, IND 55, and UNIVISION 61. I lost ABC 5, the signal meter said it was at a 32. I also was still unable to pick up FOX 8, the signal meter put up a 32 as well. I also lost total access to the Akron and Erie stations. I also gained no new channels with this antenna. Anyways, I would highly not recommend it.
I'll have to look for one if those and see what it does in my area maybe I can get Knoxville and Chattanooga TN stations
The best thing about that antenna is that it's much easier to put somewhere than one of those big antennas and they're less likely to break if used inside
I bought a 2 pack of this antenna due to this review. And it was just okay. Then as I watched more and more of your videos. I decided to go back and improve the signal reception. I switched the crap cable that came with the model to left over cable and modem coaxial which were thicker and better made and much shorter in length. I also removed the power amp. I made sure I was pointing the antenna towards the towers I was looking for. To my surprise I went from 21 channels to 40. I added the power amp and lost 9 channels right away. So better shorter coaxial, pointed towards towers and removal of power amp made all the difference.
I'm glad my videos helped you get better reception. Feel free to give a contribution at the link below as I spend A LOT of time making the videos and responding to these comments:
antennamanpa.com/support.html
Done. Glad to support your future efforts.
Solved flattening the Mohu Leaf Supreme pro. The light in my oven brings the oven tempreture to around 90 degrees. I unfolded the Mohu as best I could then left it in the oven overnight with the curl up. The tempreture didn't hurt the antenna but let it relax and finish flattening out. I wouldn't advise turning the oven on as most ovens' bottom setting would run the risk of damaging or melting the material.
Always enjoy your informative shows. Interesting to see how that Mohu indoor antenna performed. Rather weird but highly positive results with my MohuI. I don't know what happened but even though I live in a second floor apartment with my Mohu Leaf 30 positioned in a closet (was the best place I found after an awful lot of trying other locations) my scan reveals 78 channels (I live in a western suburb of Houston) which includes the 4 major networks and CW, MeTV, Laff, Buzzer and other channels. According to TVfool most of these antennas lie in a southeasterly direction from my apartment. This is a real head scratcher for me as there is not much of what you'd call line of sight transmission. Instead there is is a good chunk of nothing but brick and mortar of this large apartment complex standing between my Mohu and the antennas. But, needless to say, I am quite satisfied with the results. Keep up the good work.
yes this one is mine, and works very well
Google.... “FCC outdoor Antenna rules”. The FCC states that Homeowners associations cannot deny the right of homeowners to have outdoor TV antennas.
Will be making a video on this in the future.
Bob is right
It all depends: This is an excerpt from POSTED BY: JAKE BUCKLER JUNE 6, 2019 on the Solid Signal blog:
If your landlord or HOA says you can’t mount an antenna above your house, you need to know your rights. A specific federal law trumps HOA guidelines… within reason. It’s called the OTARD rule, which is a nickname for edition 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 1.4000. It was created by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). According to this rule, you can put an antenna or dish on your roof as long as you follow these rules:
- It must be smaller than 39.37″ (one meter) in any direction. (This covers all satellite dishes and most small to medium-sized antennas.)
- You still need permission if you want to put it in an area that can be seen by the public.
- You also need permission before you start drilling holes in your property.
Want a hint about working within HOA guidelines? It’s always best to touch base with your homeowners association before you mount an antenna. It’s never a good idea for them to just see you up on the roof or have a neighbor snitch on you while you’re up there. Go to “yard bosses” ahead of time, tell them what you want to do, and make them aware of the OTARD rule.
This could be an antenna I use for my condo in Ocean City MD since my channels are all on UHF I may try it later this year and possibly make a video
Hi Mr. T., Is there any differences between an Mohu Leaf Glide and this Supreme Pro?? The extra
length must accommodate VHF Elements.. I looked at an online "A" Store, they have several
Mohu Antenna Models, but no Supreme Pro Model.. W.G.
What does one have to do to get an reply?? W.G.
@@wgdavis5353 Supreme Pro is sold by Best Buy.
Thanks for the review on this antenna. I recently moved to a rural area in Oregon , 55 miles from broadcast towers. I tried 3 other indoor antennas without luck. But the channels come in great with this Mohu. I only get 10 UHF channels , but that includes Fox , which is a good news station. I found a couple days later that the reception goes bad when weather gets bad.
What do you mean by bad weather? My U MUST HAVE antenna seems not to be as good as this Mohu one, but it still works the same with clouds and heavy rain as it does in the sunshine. I can't say during thunderstorms, since I unplug my electronics during thunderstorms anyway. I suppose I'll have to wait a couple of months to see how it does in snow storms.
Hello, subscribed and I like your channel! I have an indoor antenna that has worked very well for all the OTA channels. But it does not seem to pick up the Next Gen ones. Could it be that it's too old and I should replace it? It's an RCA flat rectangular antenna, amplified as well
That would be odd. AFAIK, "NextGen TV" (that is, ATSC 3.0) uses the same frequencies as NTSC and ATSC 1.0, so as long as you have an ATSC 3.0 tuner (either in your TV or externally), one would assume that any antenna that can pick up NTSC or ATSC 1.0 could pick up ATSC 3.0.
@@ghenulo I contracted the station and they have had equipment trouble so they are not actually broadcasting right now. That explains why I wasn't able to pick anything up
Love your videos, really good information, lots of detail. One issue (and you may not be able to address it)...when reviewing antennas, you review UHF and High VHF, but don't give much information on pulling in Low-VHF stations. I know Low-VHF is not that common, but unfortunately, WOI TV here in Iowa still broadcasts on Channel 5 (yes, checked it on TV-Fool). If you have a access to any low-VHF channels in your area, would love to see them evaluated when checking antennas, too!
But that's a small issue, overall you videos are super helpful. Thanks!
The reason why you do not see me review low VHF antennas is because there are low VHF stations in my market. I operate a business locally that installs TV antennas and if I give out too much information I will loss business. A lot of my business locally is from people having issues picking up low band channels
@@AntennaMan That's cool, I can respect that. A guy deserves to make a living. For what its worth, if I lived in your area, I'd definitely patronize your business. Keep up the good and interesting videos.
@@larryhall897 you'll see the CM3020 in the coming weeks
@@AntennaMan I'll be looking for it! Thanks
Living in an apartment building, I'm stuck with an indoor antenna. What's worse, pretty much all the signal I get is from reflections as I'm facing into an interior courtyard. I've been through a series of indoor antennas (but I still haven't spent as much as the cable company used to charge me for just a couple of months) and the Mohu so far performs the best. In fact, it's the only antenna which seems *relatively* insensitive to small movements, and it gets multiple channels (not all the ones I could receive with even a modest roof antenna) without having to be moved around. I don't know what they've got in those flat plastic things, but it really does seem to work. Thanks for all the reviews and videos!
I don't know how they do it either.
Going to buy this tomorrow from Best Buy if it picks up low and high vhf channels
The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are less than one meter (39.37") in diameter (or of any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.
exactly what are you trying to say?
That an HOA can’t prohibit TV antennas
Tyler, great channel. I'm looking for an indoor antenna and this one looks interesting. My situation is that I'm living in a concrete box (a condo) only a few hundred metres from the CN Tower, which is a huge broadcast antenna. I'm actually close enough to it (but on the opposite side of the building from it) that any signal I get is reflected off other buildings and coming through the windows, and I suspect the multiple paths of reflection don't help. I don't really have the option of an outdoor antenna, so indoor it is. Any thoughts on my situation that would help improve things?
You'll want an antenna with a reflector to limit the multipath signals coming from the other direction. This Clearstream model has a reflector on it. The Mohu wouldn't work as well since it can get signal from both directions and the multipath would kill the signals.
amzn.to/2MH5jWR
Do you think the bend did/would effect reception performance?
I don't think it does. I unbent it by placing it back in the box the opposite way for a few minutes.
@@RJEngle1 Thanks for the tip!
Hey Tyler, do you ever get requests for dedicated FM antenna installs? The good ones made back in the '60 and '70s have all but disappeared so do you have any ideas? This would be for external mast mounted installation with a rotor.
I actually just fixed an FM antenna today. The guy had a rotor as well and told me they stop making the best ones. I will be doing some research and see if I can find some good ones.
I had my antenna on my bedroom window. Then decided to move it upstairs and give it a try up there. The reception was no better. After placing back on the window. My reception was 10 less than before. I have no clue why. Nothing has changed.
I Wonder Why They Dont Ship It Flat With Supports To Keep It From Someone Bending It? Surely That Would Be Cheaper, AND IF NOT!?! They Sure As Hell Have ALREADY Built That Shipping Cost Into The PRICE! $90!
I purchased both a leaf ultimate 65 and a mohu supreme pro. What a difference. The leaf ultimate picked up 15 channels, the mohu supreme pro picked up 27 stations.
This is my third antenna in recent months...and it outperforms several other recommended antenna from @Antenna Man.
Which ones?
Your old antenna is a roof antenna and even though you have it next to a window, your viewers are going to assume that you have it on your roof. You didn't show where you placed the LEAF antenna. Did you also place it next to the window? Great channel!
Could you test mohu sail ?
Have to update my previous post, was a user error on my end, their helpful tech helped me realize I had the amp plugged in at the wrong part a correcting that it worked pretty well
Great review. I think I`ll buy one. I`m going to look into how to record OTA TV antenna channels like a DVR and also with an Internet connection port all in one. Don`t know if that`s possible. Thank you
Thanks for fixing the audio. Also, what is the best preamplifer for a rural area?
What is the difference between the Supreme Pro and Leaf Glide? They appear to be identical.
I noticed that too. I think just different marketing. Some companies will make two identical antennas but name them different to sell at different prices
I use a Mohu 50 and have been vert happy with it.
I just purchased it and hopefully it picks up the Channels that supposedly strong in my Area such as Telemundo and Univision 🤞🏾then I can cut off the expensive Cable Bills which keeps going in Prices,right now $240 a Month with Internet and Phone😩the only thing I will keep is Internet
I love that old radio on the shelf next to the window. Thank you for that awesome review. Have a good day.
It's actually a newer radio with bluetooth. You can find it here. amzn.to/2Wy2L1D
I have a MOHU sail, works well, I can get NY, NJ, CT and a couple of mass channels, probably more if I add a rotor.
@TsunamiFPS So which one works best?
I know this video is 2 years old but does this pick up the NHK World channels? They are 50.2 and 58.2 and both are VHF. We sadly recently lost cable and the NHK World channels are supposed to be viewable on antenna but they won't come through on our Mohu - Arc Pro 60 so we're thinking of exchanging it for this Supreme Pro one (We live in the city).
There's probably room for two tapered elements, rather than just a square sheet of foil. Someone savvy can build something similar. That of course would involve time and study, and the project wouldn't be amplified.
Hello, I enjoy your Videos. Want to know if you can answer a question for me . I owned a house in Shippenville,Pa and wanted to know what kind of Antenna you would recommend for me to buy up in the mountains ? Keep up the good work.
Hi I live in an apartment building. I only have two big windows that are good for placing an antenna on them. Right now I have a 1byone antenna which is ok... But I want to upgrade to something better.... But I don't want to pay a lot for a new antenna. Any suggestions. I only want to pay at most 35 dollars or less. Are there any good antennas in this price range? I live in NJ.... In populated area.
Returning this to Best buy for me the mohu supreme pro was crapmost of the stations in Cleveland are north-northwest of me. I live in Uniontown Ohio which is about 40 miles away from the transmitter towers in Cleveland.it would only pick up three of those Cleveland stations and one, their transmitter tower is just outside of Akron Ohio which is only 12 miles away from my location. It doesn't very well picking up VHF Fox 8 is on RF 8 Channel 5 and channel 55this thing couldn't pick up either but I switch to a ClearStream Max 2 and all but Fox 8 came in. I am using my Roku box with the sling app and air TV
So I recently purchased this antenna and it seems to be working correctly, but I’m only showing 1 green light on the signal strength indicator on the antenna. No matter where I go inside or outside it never shows more than 1 green light. Isn’t this antenna supposed to show up to 4 green led lights for a strong signal and 1-3 for weaker signals? I’m using a standard small iPhone AC adapter and wondering if it’s not powerful enough. What size AC adapter should I use with this antenna amplifier? Thanks for the help.
Mohu in the vid: Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro. The link to Amazon: Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro Paper-Thin...
I purchased this antenna on Amazon but was very disappointed. I live in Toronto Canada and am about 10km from the CN tower. I believe the tower broadcasts about 14 channels. I managed to pick up between 2 and 5 depending on antenna location. Using the amplifier I got maybe 1 or 2 extra channels. Buffalo is about 60 miles from my house which was way too far for this antenna. I tried an old UHF loop antenna and got similar results. I really thought this MoHu Leaf Supreme Pro would be worth the money. It wasn't. One last thing - the packaging is terrible. The antenna was bent into a cylinder and I could not flatten it out.
How does this compare to the Leaf 50 amplified indoor antenna? Thanks you. You make great videos.
To straighten those out, just use a hair dryer/blower, swinging it back and forth until it is warm enough to move itself flat, do not force it, then leave it to cool off.
Mohu Arc
bigger is the antena, better is
it`s physics
Has anyone tried installing this antenna in the attic if so how did it work for you? Most of the local tv antenna signals are about 44 miles.
Hey Tyler. So quick question. so you use this in TANDEM with an indoor/outdoor antenna just to gain more frequency or can it be used as THE antenna? Thanks. 343 Guilty Spark.
No you should only use this antenna as a single antenna
There are so many advertisements on TV that I watch less and less and less.
even TH-cam has ads these days
Hi. Do you know why this product is not on Mohu's direct site to buy? It seems the only store it's at is Best buy near where I live in Michigan. Kinda weird the product is not on Mohu's actual website & there are almost zero reviews of it on the web. I want to buy this but am hesitant.
I tried this one out and it was decent, but not as good as the Clearview Max-V plus a separate amplifier. (Particularly for VHS.) If you're not that far away and you want a flat panel, I'd be happy with this.
i had a small (6"x3") one years ago that came with the tuner box. it became ragged after years and was coming loose at the seams. so i pulled it open and inside was shiny copper. thin as paper.
Yes the copper is very thin which is part of the reason the flat antennas aren't the best. That being said this is decent flat antenna.
Want to point something out about the little amp that comes with some Mohu antennas, at least the Striker that I have. The Striker will pick up VHF, at least VHF high, at least physical channel 10, as I can pick up a one about 20 miles away with some pixelization, when I don't use the supplied amp. When I do use the amp, the UHF channels get better but channel 10 can no longer be detected. I bought a different amp that supports both VHF and UHF and now all the channels work. So it appears the little amp is UHF only, even though I don't see that mentioned on Mohu's site or in the materials that came in the box. Other than that, I like the Striker.
One thing I've noticed with the Mohu is their 12 foot cable also acts as an antenna. I've got 20% better reception in some cases just be moving the cable around--while the antenna is already optimized.
I’m in an apartment building with the windows facing south, and the signals coming from the north about 30-40 miles away. Also between me and the signal is another row of apartments across the hallway, and another building on the other side. We are on the top of three stories, but I can barely get indoor antennas to work. Would you recommend this or the clearmax?
What about an outdoor antenna that can be put on a pole like a flagpole and has a battery amplifier and a frequency converter that transmits the signal to the house. Inside you have a small antenna that filters out everything but this one frequency and is attached to the TV.
QUESTION, WHY CAN I RECEIVE A STATION ONLY AT TEN FOOT, BUT WIN MOVED UP TO 25 foot I don't receive? And analysis of the station is only 23 miles away I can't get , but I RECEIVE A STATION 53 miles away? I have the GE 33692 Antenna! Have a nice day
I had this happen a few times. Typically the higher you go the LESS obstruction your antenna gets but there are some exceptions.
The Mohu antenna I bought at Sam's Club shure didnt work well.
Mike Brandenburg I bought that same antenna. It was mediocre. I had it in a travel van. I ended up going with a clear stream 2 mounted in the back window. So much better. The Mohu curled up very bad from being in the sun.
*sure
The amplified Mohu that Walmart/Sams Club sells has an FM/VHF filter on the amplifier. It deliberately blocks VHF signals (but you don't discover that until you tear open the box). I need both low- and high-band VHF. Grrrrr. Works fine for UHF.
I'm still looking for an antenna that can pick up start TV from Kentucky
Sometimes your best bet is to just break down and buy a small attic antenna, strap it to a gaffer's tripod, and set it up at a window pointed in the direction of most of your stations. If you have to use an indoor antenna and have trees to work though, anything less may give minimal results at best.
Winegard FL5500A does the job also.
I just got the Mohu Ranger, which claims a 75 mile range, and installed it. I put it in a north facing window partially for lack of a better place and to give it the extra boost to pick up South Bend stations 50 miles away. I’m 25 miles from the Fort Wayne towers, but the signal had to travel through the house and past aluminum siding. The FW stations are relatively lower powered for full power stations.
I got all FW stations but one, no South Bend stations, and surprisingly two Detroit stations, which I expect to fade out as the day wears on. (Update - They did)
Overall, it was a bit of a letdown after seeing how well the Supreme Pro worked for you. The Terk HDTVA worked better for me although it is clunky and unwieldy.
(I’m returning it.)
Tried this, picked up only strong channels.
I'm on a 30 tower Bracketed to the house. Running 100 ft of Channel Master RG6 coaxial cable up the tower to a Channel Master CM7777 preamp with separate UHF and VHF inputs. (New model CM7777 has only one input for VHF/UHF)
Sticking a piece coaxial cable 2 feet out from VHF input with one foot stripped to the bare core. I'm able to pick up CFPL 10.1 (fifty miles to the west and CFTO 9.1 50 miles to the northeast off the CN Tower. (Both are VHF Stations)
Just goes to show that a piece of wire at a good height can do. And a lot of these fancy pieces of plastic are just wires encased in plastic.
As for a UHF I did not do the same wire trick, because I know UHF is a lot weaker of a signal. Local UHF channels in a 30 mile radius would probably work.
My set up for UHF is a 4 bay Focus Brand Antenna aimed at Buffalo, NY. It works for the high powered network stations like 7.1 ABC, 2.1 NBC, 4.1 CBS, 17.1 PBS, 23.1 CW, for the low powered Buffalo stations 29.1 Fox, 49.1 MyTVBuffalo, 67.1 MeTV need a antenna with more gain.
Also Atmospheric conditions also pay a big part, in spring and summer with sunny clear conditions I get some stations as east from Syracuse, NY from Brantford, Ont.
I bought a Moho Leaf 30 mile antenna where I work only because it was 5 bucks on clearance and it gets fewer channels than my 30 mile GE flat panel antenna. Glad It was only 5 bucks because it was originally 20 bucks.
Doesn't get more sub channels?
Just hooked up recommended antenna from Mohu. I give it one star ⭐ and that's generous! My older a lot smaller floppy antenna you show at the end kicked mohu's butt!!!! I'll return this piece of ____ ! Otherwise love your channel!
You might need an outdoor antenna then. Consider an antenna recommendation at the link below. One from me can prevent you from spending hundreds of dollars and time wasted on setting up the wrong antenna for your area. antennamanpa.com/antenna-recommendations.html
I bought this per your recommendation and couldn't pick up 1 channel. I tried on 2 different tv's in 2 different rooms. I sent it back...
Indoor antennas don't work for everyone. You'll likely need an outdoor model.
Just purchased this antenna from best buy to see if it would be any better than the Mohu Leaf 30 TV Antenna for 20$. #Nope #Returned
Try purchasing an outdoor antenna
So, just curious, live in a ranch house about 45-50 miles from towers, if I stuck this in my attic, would this make any sense? Do people ever do that with these type of indoor antennas? And, if I did do this, would I still need to ground it if it is near the outside attic vent??
This likely wouldn't work well in an attic that far away. I am on a hill which is why I had success. Consider a custom antenna recommendation from me at the link below: www.antennamanpa.com/antenna-recommendations.html
Maybe the next category of antennas to review are all the marine omnidirectional types? They are spendy, but the boating world remains to be conquered
Hi, I need your help!! I purchased the ClearStream 2MAX and the Mohu Supreme Pro based on your advice to see which one worked the best for me. My zip code is 84123 and all stations come from the west. When I scan with the Mohu I can get CBS (channel 2-1) great, but NBC (channel 5-1) is terrible. When I use the ClearStream 2MAX I get NBC (5-1) full signal but CBS (channel 2-1) is terrible. What can I do?
Try using a splitter to hook up both antennas together when you hook the antennas to your TV.
All testing I have seen to date is missing lower VHF channels, which is disappointing and uninformative!
This antenna and others I reviewed don't have low VHF elements so that's why I don't test low VHF. I do have a video on low VHF antennas
what do you think about the mohu 50 curved antenna... mine works well and it says 100% signal on some of the channels but even those channels will pixilate sometimes?
It looks like a decent antenna but doesn't have any VHF elements
can this antenna connect wirelessly? WiFi or bluetooth?

HEY TYLER ON A SERIOUS NOTE can you do a preview on a hd home pro,,, cable box eliminator
you can use it with a roof antenna ,,,, just a thought great channel i refer you to every one jk
I have a 15 year old antenna on a thirty foot pole. What would you charge to replace this with a high quality system including a amp etc. I currently receive all local channels but reception is spotty with one of them.
It varies depending on many factors. For a quote fill out the form on antennamanpa.com
Do you think the Leaf Supreme Pro is worth a shot for a Low VHF (CH5) station only 6 miles away? So far I have not been able to find an indoor antenna that would get the channel, including old school rabbit ears.
Thanks for your videos btw, you are knowledgeable and I can tell you put a ton of work into just making the videos.
You can try it. If not you'll need an outdoor setup.
Meaningless video. Is it omni directional? How far are the stations? How high was it mounted? What direction did it face in conjunction to various stations?
It's bi directional, stations are 45 miles away, about 25 feet in the attic room. Use antennaweb.org to determine the direction.
I have a MOHU LEAF INDOOR AMPLIFIED HDTV antenna but I can't find out why my tv doesn't even see that the antenna is connected. I have everything connected, I tried connecting everything three times but it doesn't seem to be connected to my tv.
You have to run a channel scan on the TV. If you get no channels you may need an outdoor antenna.
@@AntennaMan the thing is the room with the tv is the basement so I have no idea on what to do. I need a indoor antenna that has a variety of channels, can work in a basement and doesn't need to face any direction. I see this antenna as a good product, but it may have to do with my tv version
So was this review saying that this Mohu - Leaf Supreme Pro Indoor Amplified HDTV Antenna picked up UHF also?
Yes
I'd rather have a rotatable yagi on the top of a 50' tower than think about another flat piece of crap. Although this one isn't bad.
Same here
Your first link is a bad link. The second takes you to your amazon antenna list, and the Moho is not there. Very disappointing.
Sorry about that - you can find it at the following link:

I live in a valley would this work for me? The cheap amazon flat antenna doesn’t work.
Thank you for the review. I just ordered this antenna.
I liked the fact that it doesn't use a thin wire.
I bought this antenna for my bedroom television. I originally hung it on the wall facing the tv towers. I found the best reception on the wall perpendicular to the towers. Box states it's multidirectional and it is.
I also bought one for the living room television. I found hanging it midway up the wall gets better reception than higher up by ceiling.
I don't use the amplifier because it overpowers some of the closer stations and messes up the guide on my Tablo.
