Product Description

The patent pending Leaf indoor television antenna is a paper thin antenna that connects to your TV and mounts on the wall, behind a picture, or just about anywhere to enable you to receive free over-the-air broadcasts. Because the majority of television antennas on the market today are unsightly and tend to be an "eye-sore", design aesthetics were a primary driver in the design of the Leaf antenna. The antenna is black on one side and white on the other providing a variety of installation options. A surprising amount of study and engineering work went into the design of the Leaf TV antenna. It wasn't until one of our engineers decided to convert from cable television to over-the-air broadcasting that we realized that there were no high performance antennas on the market. This motivated the patent pending design of the new paper-thin antenna. The Leaf antenna was designed by experienced antenna engineers who have been designing antennas for the US military for years. Cost was also a primary driving factor in the design of the Leaf indoor antenna. After researching current antennas on the market, it became clear that the leading brands were significantly over priced. This drove us to develop a patent pending process that allowed us to develop a high performance antenna with minimal manufacturing cost. This allowed us to keep the price of the antenna to a minimum and pass these savings on to the consumer. Most importantly, we are proud to say that our antennas are designed and manufactured in the USA!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rare: Better Indoor TV Antenna! April 21, 2011

By J_Onyx TOP 500 REVIEWER

Style Name:New|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am part of a small group of friends who are gadget enthusiasts. One of us was a cable TV technician for 20 years, before that a TV repairman who installed tower TV antenna systems. We find that the best indoor antennas tend to be inexpensive, about $14 tops. There are a lot of makers and retailers of "Amazing digital" indoor antennas that prove to be garbage and cost up to $130. We have tested dozens and in the end end up still recommending $4 RCA units sold by stores like Family Dollar and Dollar General. My favorite has been a no brand flat antenna made in China, sold by Big Lots for $14. With I pick up 9 to 11 digital & HD channels.

Every $30 plus unit I've found recommended by buyer comments, I've ended up returning as the Big Lots unit
did better. Then, I ordered the Leaf. I did expect some improvement given the many very high buyer ratings.
I was also thinking I may still end up returning it. 1st, I was sceptical. As one buyer here put it "it didn't
look like much". Paper thin and paper light sealed in plastic like my diver license. I thought "what the heck?
I paid $44 for this?" My first placements and tuner scanning I was unimpressed. Then, I read the sheet that
came with it. It says best results from positioning it cable down. Since it is in clear plastic and I recalled one buyer wrote she taped it up, I grabbed a thin tall box and taped the Leaf to the top of it so the cable could be at the bottom and hang down and I could move the box to make adjustments on the top of my entertainment system, which permits me to face the Leaf out a window.

This time when I ran scan channels I was floored. My TV tuner found 14 channels. I was seriously impressed when I actually sampled the channels.... I got 19 channels and three more (two of them analog) that do not work well. I cannot wait to connect a low power in line amplifier. With that I am sure I will get 22 channels, all with an indoor antenna and I do not need to reposition it to get them all. I cannot wait to see what happens when I position the Leaf to pick up stations to the North of me. I live in Canton, Michigan, an hour from Toledo, Ohio. I would not have believed it if a neighbor told me he could get one Toledo channel with an indoor antenna. I am getting three! I am also getting Canada's CBC 9, an analogue channel.

NOTE. I find many times buyers blame on an antenna a fault I never see mentioned in "buyer reviews" of antennas. I am surprised neither antenna sellers or makers educated buyers about this very real possibility.
Not all tuners are the same, not all tuners in the same TV work properly. For instance, I bought a Haier 10" portable as a gift recently. When I tested it, the TV worked fine. I bought another one a week later as a gift.
The second Haier has a defective tuner. It finds only 2 to 3 channels with the same antenna and same locations and positions where I tested the first Haier I bought. The first TV found 9-11 channels and play them well, except for one or two. Also, the second tuner came up with different results each time I ran scan.

When you find your results with a high buyer rated antenna is poor, you want to make sure the problem isn't your tuner, not your antenna or your location, your house, etc. I point this out because people mention every possibility beginning with sorry antenna and including where their home is, walls in their home, etc., but NEVER suspect the tuner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raised Lazarus from the dead! April 28, 2011

By Monsoon Mike

Style Name:New|Amazon Verified Purchase

I live in the middle of nowhere. About 70 miles either way to the nearest broadcast antenna and between two mountains. Getting any over-the-air stations with an outdoor antenna is challenge enough, let alone an indoor antenna. I was frustrated that my satellite company didn't carry those cool new sub-channels some of the stations now have, like Antenna TV, so, short of climbing on my dangerous roof to give an antenna a whirl only to be probably disappointed, I tried about 5 different amplified indoor antennas that all raved how great they were. Not a single station. Zero. Zip. I had lost all hope that signals even existed in my remote valley. Websites like "antenna web" agreed. "No signals available in my area." That is until I read the reviews about the Mohu. It seemed too good to be true, but I am an electronics geek and like experimenting. Customer service is GREAT and the guy gave me tips for placement of the antenna upstairs near a window, etc. So the antenna comes the other day. I was expecting my usual "ZERO CHANNELS FOUND" message. I walked out of the room while it was scanning and come back in and there's Antenna TV playing. I almost passed out cold on the floor. This little paper-thin thing managed to get the Antenna TV affiliate from 70 miles away at my house between mountains. I moved the thing to the other window and got another 2 channels from another city 70 miles in the "other" direction. If you enjoy Bible stories, you'll appreciate this analogy: this thing can raise Lazarus from the dead! LOL I really thought no signals existed in my valley after trying antenna after antenna. How this thing works, I have no idea, but I'm looking forward to buying a cheap little amplifier and plugging it in and seeing if I get even more channels. Great product which does the unthinkable.... Great customer service. And made in the USA. Now that should say something. Every other antenna I tried was of course made in China. Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 stars Worked, but no better than other antennas I've used. August 19, 2011

By B. Shockley

Style Name:New|Amazon Verified Purchase

Background:
I have tried and used several different antennas and setups since my first baby steps into the digital television in 2002. There is no miracle antenna that will magically make all your stations come in perfect. I decided to give this one a try to see if it's flat size could provide me a more aesthetically pleasing antenna. I have tried and used larger outdoor antennas, several different indoor style antennas, Radio Shack DB4 style antennas and the like.

Reception:
The reception was no better than my cheaper set-top antenna; bunny ears with a loop. I actually found the bunny ears/loop antenna was better even though it's an eyesore in the family room. I moved around to several different locations and walls within the family room. I added a pre-amp to the antenna tried it in my office. I moved it into my garage and tried several locations there. I could have placed this antenna in the attic/above the garage for more reception, but the idea was to get a simplified indoor, next to the TV antenna. In that aspect it didn't work.

Build:
This is a well built antenna, even for as simple as it is. Muho took the time to think about the box and the antenna and packaging. It's a dead simple antenna. One side white, one side black to help blend it with your particular decor. The length of the coax coming off the antenna is about 6', which I found was a little too short, but you can extend it. I think it'd be better with just a male coax stump right at the antenna and let me choose the length I need.

Muho Service:
Excellent service. They responded quickly and professionally to my request to return the antenna. I always look for a good company to spend my money and they are one.

In the end, I returned the antenna.... It simply didn't offer any better reception than what I had already and to those looking, I think you can find less expensive antennas that will do as good, if not better job. I really wish I could say otherwise, but for me it isn't worth $45. Read more ›
