Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro Paper-Thin Indoor TV Antenna, Amplified, UHF VHF, 65-Mile Range, Multi-Directional – w/ 12 ft. Cable, Signal Indicator

Forget about all the other 'flat' antennas and the ones that look like some sort of sex toy sitting on your bookshelf or worse yet..... on you window sill for all to see ... and question !!!!! :)I like to do thorough research and compare products. In this case, I compared about 4 over the air antennas (yes, to include that very suggestive sex toy antenna) and quickly realized this is the best performing unit. The signal strength lights are somewhat of a gimmick. Smart TV's have signal strength info in the support menus which are accurate and aids in better positioning this or any other antenna.The cable is very long. The antenna itself is nearly twice the size of others in terms of square inches and the preamp is integrated into the base of the flat antenna itself. I live on the side of a wooded mountainside and for whatever reason find I get the best signal strength by having it lay flat on a nearby table like piece of furniture. It's a very stiff material and is slowly laying more flat as the material tends to be reluctant to lay flat but it was cold here when I bought it and still is. I suspect the summer heat heat and the sun shining on it will help flatten it more. In the meantime, I just have a small weighed object on it to keep it flat.My only suggestion to the manufacturer would be to NOT fold it into a box but rather ship it in a thin flat box thus it would arrive for the customer perfectly flat.Totally happy with this purchase and may buy a second for another room in the house.Would I buy this again? Absolutely

I have been searching for different antennas, reading all the online reviews (and most can't recommend the same antenna). I know I needed an amplified antenna at my location. I was already using a Winegard Flatenna Amped, which is one of the top-rated antennas, but I was still having reception issues, especially with high VHF stations (we have two in Seattle, 9 and 11).I bought this antenna, along with a channel master 5G/LTE filter and tested each component separately and together (in two locations in my house). Using the Supreme Pro, on my very poor reception Tivo tuner, it made a dramatic difference. I went from 30 detected channels to 57. When I added the 5G/LTE filter, this jumped to 80. Most importantly, all the key stations finally came in, with the High VHF stations that were completely missing now coming in crystal clear.I then moved to testing with different configurations (my LG OLED directly at the same location, my Samsung S90C in a new location using the direct antenna in, the same Tivo, and a HDHomerun Flex 4K). What I found was that this antenna with the LTE filter was finally able to get every main station I was supposed to get in my area.Now, the difference was much less with a great tuner (the non-Tivo ones), where it mostly stabilized unstable stations, but without the Supreme Pro, I wouldn't have been able to cut the cord with OTA reception that got all channels, without breakup, in all weather.The primary negatives are the high cost ($20-30 more than the competition), a shorter length cord (I would have liked one 20ft long, not 13ft), and the fact it is shipped in a square box, making the antenna itself curl until I flattened it down with a bunch of books. Also, the signal meter on the antenna was completely useless. It showed 5 LEDs on no matter what position my antenna was in. I would NOT buy this antenna just for that capability.Finally, I would strongly recommend getting the Channel Master 5G/LTE filter, as that in combination with the Supreme Pro made the difference for me.

I am comparing this to an Antennas Direct ClearStream FLEX Amplified Indoor TV Antenna 50 Mile Range, amplified antenna.I am able to pick up 28 channels at on the Antennas Direct antenna from towers which fairly far away; not perfectly at all hours of the day, but enough to make me happy with it.I recently tried the Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro Paper-Thin Indoor TV Antenna, Amplified, UHF VHF, 65-Mile Range antenna and it was inferior in comparison. I figured since it was so big and powered, the 28 channels noted above would all come in and be more steady all throughout the day. Not even close. The Mohu only picked up six channels no matter where I put it and some did not come in well. I tried powered and non powered mode. Non powered mode was worse.It was also missing the LED signal stack in the antenna. It just had this single yellow light indicating power I guess. That was a feature I really wanted and it was nonexistent.I really wanted this antenna to work and be better than the Antennas Direct antenna but it was inferior.
