Mohu Leaf Paper-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna - Made in USA Reviews
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.. this is my Mohu Leaf Paper-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna - Made in USA reviews
