    Mohu Television Antenna Leaf 30 Paper-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna for Free TV MH-110502 (Certified Refurbished)

    • Even after finding a signal, the dropouts (when the antenna loses the signal temporarily, for a second or two, then catches it again) were horrible
    • Unfortunately, by the time the frankenstein's signal travelled to my back bedroom TV, it was missing a few channels and CBS was weak
    • Perhaps the coax improved the signal over the flat twin wire cable yet now the old TV can access over a dozen stations.
    • We live in the suburbs where the signal is super, so this antenna picked up 20 local channels with no problem
    • Product work well and connected with a clear signal on the majority of stations in my area
    • Recently had to move positions due to a poor signal, and all of a sudden nothing could be picked up
    • Worked great for the first year getting a strong signal and rarely having to move it
    • My house is in a signal 'dead zone'
    • I do have some distortion on some channels, but I haven't moved the antenna around much to try to capture the best signal for my location.
    • Even the one 40+ miles away that TVFool said I'd need a roof-mounted antenna for was coming in, but another station with a stronger signal and higher on the exact same transmitting tower wasn't coming in.
    • Either you get enough signal to decode error-free, or you get a pixelated mess or nothing.
    • I keep having to move it around trying to catch a decent signal and it is never very consistent.
    • It works but doesn't keep a steady signal.
    • It pulls in strong signal while looking good and unobtrusive.
    • The Leaf has picked up all the stations I had before, obtaining a nice steady signal
    • Recently, I moved the antennae to my living room TV and have now noticed that, as I get up from the couch or move around the room, the signal reception varies, sometimes pausing the picture, other times completely losing the signal.
    • I had tried a different antenna from mono price a few years ago and couldn't get a good signal for the CBS or NBC stations due to the towers being over 25 miles away.
    • You need to be sure you've got a good enough signal for those times when things aren't ideal.
    • The problems I had with it was having to move it when a signal faded, having to change in different directions to get different channels, and erratic signal during rain and windstorms.
    • If you live way out in the sticks, with weak signal strength, do not expect miracles.
    • It took a little moving around to get a perfect signal, but I love that it pretty much blends into the wall and it works perfectly now.
    • I'm confident now that I can get solid signals with a much larger antenna, and the roof may not even be necessary until I try my long-distance tricks.
    • I got mine attached to a wall, not to a window as suggested, yet still get 12 channels and excellent signal.
    • The signal keeps breaking up.
    • Only picked up one channel and there's nine in this area, then when the programing was done, the channel only played about 10 seconds and a message came on the screen... signal strength too weak to broadcast
    • Unfortunately, it loses the signal frequently unless you have pressed against a window
    • Best signal
    • However, later that day my viewing experience was somewhat degraded because the signal was interrupted/pixelated on several stations
    • Where the most I could ever get were one or two of the strongest signals, the Mohu Leaf picked up all the local broadcasters and their digital sidebands
    • Before, I had a rabbit-type antenna philips, and I had to be changing the position inside the room to get a good signal, but with this antenna in anywhere of my room the signal is good, I use it for standard dbv-t2, works great.
    • Put in the same location of the rabbit ear and it pulled in much stronger signals, some more than twice as strong (there's a signal meter on my digital converter)
    • I always had trouble getting ABC (which is VHF in my area) but I was able to get the station with a strong signal strength
    • Now when I set a recording, I don't get nearly as many lost signal messages.
    • but maybe I would get one good signal
    • and I got solid signal after I taping it securely.
    • In fact, they are not clear most of the time, signals are scrambled
    • and then so I'm tempted to buy the amplified version to see if that stabilizes the signal.
    • Note: if mount on the wall near your TV, you'll have to play around for optimal signal.
    • I'm in South FL and the signal I get using this antenna is not that strong
    • I am sure this product works fine within 30 miles of the source, so I can't fault it for failing to find good signals where other antennas have failed.
    • If the TV towers are positioned correctly, it's very easy to find the proper place to mount the leaf to get the best signal
    • Just as clear as my cable signal
    • The problem I have is it loses signal occasionally which is pretty annoying
    • For the most part, this antenna is working great, but I'm still experimenting with the placement; one station has been showing a weak signal and sometimes isn't available.
    • It STILL received excellent signals
    • I tried to use it where I have no access to our roof antenna, and the signal was just too weak.
    • Haven't got such a good signal from any other antenna, ever.
    • The digital signal doesn't work like the old analog days - you can't 'almost' get reception, you're not going to get a fuzzy picture
    • Enough of a better signal so that my DVR could bring in my local channels without frequent signal losses from the DVRs standpoint.
    • Now why 3 stars?Because signal deteriorates very quickly and some channels can fully disappear for half of the day
    • I now have reliable signal strength for all my stations
    • It did pull in clear signals from a slightly greater number of stations.
    • The signal has been great.
    • You pay more to get that feature, but if you have very weak signals, you might need it.
    • Picked up 28 channels clear with a strong signal.
    • I have never experienced any pixelating or reception problems with any of these antennas nor have I had to move them around to grab a better signal.
    • I purchased this after a similar indoor antennae product didn't pick up strong signal.
    • and I'm still able to get a fairly consistent HD signal
    • I live within spitting distance of TV towers and couldn't get a decent digital signal on my TV.
    • After testing a couple locations for the antenna, I did a final scan and recieved all the Cincinnati channels that I never received before as well as much stronger signals on all my Dayton channels .
    • Reception was pretty good in any orientation, but managed to pull in some really faint signals when mounted near the window (fewer obstructing walls).
    • The signal is not stable at all.
    • Wife was complaining about the erratic signals from our more expensive Antenna that i had brought at Radio Shack, and took up space
    • but you have to experiment with the right position in the room to get the best signal.
    • Works great overall for the size, but signal can be spotty depending on where it is in the house (for example it cut in and out sometimes in my den).
    • No matter where I moved the antenna, I was never able to maintain a consistent signal and TV was unwatchable
    • Some TV antennas come with a built-in signal amplifier, but I recommend buying a "stand alone" TV antenna & separate signal amplifier (like this one).
    • and I did see some signal flickering last night, but nothing compared to my antenna where it used to totally lose the signal for minutes.
    • I live in a very very poor reception area, this did nothing to improve the signal
    • It doesn’t seem to get a strong signal
    • I then spent at least an hour moving it all over the LR trying to find a stronger signal
    • I get signals stronger than my friend with an external antenna from antenna's direct.
    • Used within a 10-20 mile environment and captured all available signals.
    • That was not a big deal, but not being able to get a good signal is.
    • I hooked it up and got a shaky signal on 3 channels My two tv's are parallel to each other with the wall between my BR and LR separating
    • I live in Bay Area so signal cannot be an issue
    • They look and work as if they're brand
    • it works as it's supposed to.
    • Not as powerful as per hype
    • Good, scrambling a
