I have tried a number of indoor TV antennas, the one I had prior to purchasing the Mohu Leaf 30 TV Antenna was a similar product produced by RCA. I got very mediocre results with all other products. With the Mohu Leaf I receive nearly 60 channels with excellent reception. With previous products I averaged about 20 and not even all 5 of the major networks came in clear. I write this review with the hope that people researching indoor TV antennas will see this and it will help them save time and money. There are 3 key reasons I got this excellent result. I) The Mohu leaf is a good quality product, 2) The Mohu Leaf allows you to connect an RG6 coaxial cable directly to the Mohu antenna. This is really important! Many flat indoor antennas come with a RG59 cable connected permanently into the body of the antenna (the Mohu Leaf comes with one too but its detachable). After thorough research I learned that the RG59 cable doesn't deliver a strong enough digital signal to the TV. It really needs to be RG6. 3) I live on the second floor of a house about 29 mile from the major city that broadcasts for my area. I ran about 50 feet of RG6 cable from my TV to the antenna and had to place the antenna in a window facing the broadcasting city. I did this after trying to hang the antennas on an interior wall as they advertise you can. That never worked with any antenna I bought. The line of sight is more important than advertisers lead us to believe. So don't waste money getting anything you cant connect directly with an RG6 coaxial cable, get the Mohu because you can, place the Mohu up high, facing the broadcast towers (or as close as you can figure) and I bet you too can get excellent results!
