You don't have to keep paying broadcast TV fees. Cut the cord and get an antenna for your local channels! In today's video, I take a look at whether indoor antennas like the Mohu Leaf are really worth it. This review is based on 7+ years of experience with two different Mohu antennas, the Mohu Leaf 30 and Mohu Leaf Plus. I'll review how the Mohu Leaf Plus performs in my current location, which doesn't typically pick up all of the major broadcast TV networks. Subscribe for more ways to save on streaming TV!

    The Channel Master Flatenna is a very good flat antenna too. I live in Chicago, and it pulled in 75 channels with no amplifier, and it pulled in all of the local stations. And the signal strength is at 100%, and the signal quality has never fell below 90% on any station.
  • @JohnPaynekj4wzo
    Thanks for all the great information. Living in the mountains of Western North Carolina has always been difficult for antennas. We only receive 18 channels but they are crystal clear. Keep up the great videos
  • @_papad8434
    This is very helpful information. Thank you!!!

    I have to shamefully admit for my reason to purchase a antenna, it was because I’m ahead of my friends when we watch sports. One of them has cable and in one of your older videos you said that antenna was closer to the live even which is true so, I bought my antenna for that reason I watched sports on stream sites which have many latency’s which made the view experience bad for me and my friends. Beautiful review Mike, have a fantastic day!
  • This is a great review I really enjoy your Great streaming ideas
  • @GoMohu
    Hi Michael, thanks for the great review! We're thrilled to hear that the Mohu Leaf Plus is working so well for you at your location. Shoot us a message and we can send you the Hook and Loop tabs and push pins, sorry to hear those didn't come in your shipment. Thanks for spreading the word about cutting the cord, you can save $2400 a year on average canceling pay TV.

    I bought a flat TV antennae with a amplifier. It got terrible reception. Just for shyte and giggles I tried it without the amplifier. Worked great! Mounted it in the patio door stationary glass and it's still there!
  • @slyr3287
    Another great review. I decided to use the clear stream 4 Max indoor outdoor antenna, I don't care how much it rain or how much it snow I never lose a signal. This is the best antenna hands down👍
  • Michael Saves, do you love watching Tyler the Antenna Man? He is an excellent YouTuber, and so are you!

    Michael, great video!! (You get 120 OTA channels?! Wow) Like your first commenter, I have the Mohu Curve too and man, I love it. No need to hang, it sits on a glass shelf directly below my tv. It's only a couple feet from the floor, but since I live in a high-rise apartment building I guess the antenna is actually pretty high up. I don't think theyre sold as widely as the Leaf, I found mine on Best buy. I live within a 10 mile range of my towers and get 48 channels. But I swear, they look better than cable. I have to say, before I got the Curve, I bought one of those mohu wall lookalikes from Amazon and it was inexpensive, but was also a piece of crap. I got exactly two channels with it. Lastly, I sometimes have to swivel mine a little to the right or left for the ABC Network which is the furthest away, but only if it's raining or snowing. Again, great video. 🙂👍👍👍👍

    I installed a Mohu Indoor Antenna in the attic (with thumb tacks) of my new house and was shocked that the signal strength is the same as my huge Channel Master antenna. I don't understand how that could be. (About 30 miles from the stations). The Mohu is extremely directional though, so aim it with a signal meter if possible. I used a Wyze cam aimed at the TV, in signal strength mode and watched it through my phone in the attic - makes aiming very easy. (just aim it at your weakest channel).
  • @ElleMarieF23
    Hi! Wow! This is great! About how long is the wire? I have 2 tvs, both near Windows but facing different directions and I have no clue where towers are..
  • @MyGuyKirby
    Interesting option and they only offer two models for my distance of 50-miles to the towers.

    I bought a cheap Amazon flat antenna with a skinny cable and amplifier and it works almost, but not all the time. I picked up a much more expensive flat Clearstream antenna. It was larger with thicker cable and looked to be better constructed. Reception was exactly the same so I returned it. I tried my cheapo antenna on a friend’s tv who is closer to the broadcast antennas and her results were even better. There’s no remarkable technology here. They’re just bow tie or circular antennas sandwiched in plastic. Bottom line, if your blessed with good signal, you’ll be happy. If you’re not, your out of luck. Almost all the flat antennas get 4/5 stars. Most people are satisfied, while the minority curse them. It’s not the brand of flat antenna so much as the signal quality and strength in your area. You likely need a better outdoor antenna well located if one of these things don’t work.
