Question: Does the Leaf Plus have the ability to pick up certain channels such as MTV, HBO, Showtime, etc.?
Document: I had a terk powered directional antenna and caught 17 or so over the air channels but had to fiddle with the antenna to catch certain ones, and the antenna itself was large and quite ugly.Bought the leaf plus, and wow what a difference. It is completely out of view behind the tv, and now I catch 21 stations (once I found the optimal placement) including all major networks (those come in 1080i for the most part).
Ordered the Leaf Plus Amplified. Worked fine for three days then wouldn't bring in any channels. Contacted the manufacturer. They ran network maps for my area to see if there were issues in my area, and explained why certain channels wouldn't come in due to my distance. However, after finding there weren't any broadcasting problems an assumption the amplifier power adapter burned out was considered. They shipped out a replacement to me the same day.The replacement works great and have no other issues.
We decided to get rid of HD satellite TV and go with viewing local channels via the Leaf Plus Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna. The Leaf actually provides nicer picture than the HD satellite... with no monthly cost. The only challenge we have found with the Leaf is that there is a certain spot on the wall where it gets the best reception, and it is not the most attractive place to hang the Leaf. Buyers may need to keep this in mind when purchasing. I would buy it again, though.
Bought the Leaf amplified so we could cut the cable cord. We live approximately 35 miles outside of Chicago so we expected to be able to pick up the majority of the major networks, CBC, NBC etc...at night they come in great. During the day we can only get NBC, WGN and a few other stations.
I live about 26 miles from the broadcasting towers with no obstacles like hills, buildings, trees,etc., in the way. The Leaf Plus works great after installing it in the attic where I already had an electrical outlet. I tried the antenna on the first and second floors but the signal on several of the local channels was blocked by too many walls, the roof, etc.
I purchased several other antenna for our TV, and never get satisfied. Some are better than others , but you have to change direction, highness etc.I noticed this leaf plus antenna, and purchased it immediately, It changed all pictures and TV quality, with no need to change position or direction. I got many more channels. Most important, the signals are much more better than any of my previous antenna. That was two years ago.
I needed something to help pick up a PBS station about 20 miles away that was not consistently coming in because of weather, etc. I installed the unit and moved it around, and got the best signal behind the TV near the ceiling.
Unfortunately, the antennae just wouldnt pick up stations on a regular basis. Constantly having to move it around to pick up the same channels and sometimes would just lose them completely.Going to do a little more investigating and maybe go for the next level up Leaf Plus or go with a total different brand.
I am extremely happy with the Leaf Plus. I had tried the un-amplified version of the Leaf in the same spot in the house and could not pick up all the channels I wanted. This new Leaf did a great job and not only gave me the channels, but they were stable. That is until 2 months later when it died without warning. Needless to say I was not happy about that because my Amazon return window had closed.
Then I read about the leaf, which was thin and had great reception. So even though the price is twice as much, I get better reception and pick up a few extra channels, plus it looked kind of cool in the pics. Wrong.The antenna is as promised, thin. the issue is that it looks like a piece of paper that has been laminated on both sides by a cheap laminator. Mine even had bubbles in the lamination portion!
Answer: The channels about which you're enquiring are cable channels I believe.  Unless they also distribute an "over the air" signal in addition to their usual signal distributed over cable, they cannot be picked up by the leaf antenna.
