I went into a HDTV antenna purchase with serious reservation after experiencing a very frustrating experience with another brand antenna, which was an in-store recommendation by a salesperson. This time around I spent time reading on-line reviews and multiple Top 5 and Top 10 reviews from several different websites. This mohu Leaf + stood out to me because it was consistently on every list for a good buy and performing well. It wasn't always rated #1, but it was the only brand I saw that made nearly every Top 5 or 10 list. So I bought it, and thus far I'm very pleasantly surprised. I'm pulling in 43 channels with a clear picture and without any reception issues. Also, when I turn on the TV I get an instant picture, no waiting for the antenna to pick-up a signal. After 10 days of constant use, I haven't needed to reprogram the channels at all (I was reprogramming daily with the other store bought antenna). This mohu Leaf + also installed very easy, I was done in about 10 minutes. Mine is installed in an upstairs bedroom on an interior wall, opposite across the room from a window. So far, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

MOHU Leaf + 60 mile range INDOOR AMPLIFIED ANTENNA: Satisfactory, but imperfect performer...ProsEasy to installSeems more stable than 'rabbit ears' and other plate DTV antennas once fixed in a good positionIt can feed both a DTV and the FM Stereo Tuner of a HI-FI Stereo Receiver at once with an RF distributorConsA little on the expensive side of the budgetStill affected by radio interference, weather, bounced signals and windows orientationWith 'rabbit ears' dipole antennas, you can usually receive lower frequency digital TV stations, but one of the problems you may confront is the constant reorienting of the dipoles and the occasional channel re-scanning to get the best reception for all your liked channels. To that effect, I gave a try to the MOHU Leaf + INDOOR AMPLIFIED ANTENNA.It was easy to install. And the simpler the installation layout, the better. The design of the antenna seems to be better for higher frequency digital TV stations than for lower frequency ones. In the beginning, I installed on a window with the lighter side looking out it to feed the the TV and the FM tuner of a High Fidelity Stereo receiver using a coax RF distributor (See included photos (c) 2022 by reviewer): FM Stereo reception was nice and most of the area's TV channels showed up and were stable, plus one or 2 new ones came up thanks to the amplifier, but not always.Two favorite TV channels with sub-channels #.1 to #.4 and #.1 to #.3 which operate on the lower side of the TV channel frequency spectrum in our neighborhood had the tendency of suddenly disappearing within hours of a channel scan, no matter were we located the antenna plate. I thought that the Internet WiFi router had something to do with this. WiFi routers are not the only culprits: you'll be surprised by the kinds of sources of radio frequency interference (RFI) you may be having at home unknowingly. Fortunately, they usually affect at most a couple DTV channels frequencies and when you move the TV antenna farther away from the offending RFI source or even remove the offending source, channels come back fine... if the antenna is well oriented and its amplifier works. In this case, moving the antenna plate farther from the router didn't work: those 2 channels disappeared again hours after.I went ahead and removed coax wire extensions, relocated the plate and scanned progressively: same issue. I ended up disconnecting the antenna from the coax RF distributor, connecting the antenna cable directly to the TV: still, inconsistent reception of the same aforementioned channels. Finally, per their FAQ page, I removed the amplifier, connected the antenna directly and scanned the TV once more: unable to get liked channels and scanned channels amount came down from 44 to 29. I called their technical support and the very helpful associate reviewed all steps I did and then suggested me to try placing the antenna in a southeast side window. The problem is that all the windows of my apartment point the other way. Well, I guess may I have to live with those channels being intermittent or else...The lesson: research your favorite channel frequencies and transmitter positions before ordering.I still believe that the MOHU Leaf + INDOOR AMPLIFIED ANTENNA has the potential to be a 5-star contender because it works fine with DTV channels in the upper side of the spectrum and if you have antenna positioning flexibility. But, for me, it's going to be 4 stars.

The amplified antenna does not work any better than the non-amplified. Maybe I just haven't found the sweet spot, but after half a dozen tries, I don't want any more holes in the walls.
