Question: Antenna in Basement Today I bought two different antennas (Both RCA)...one rabbit ears, one that was flat.  NEITHER completely worked.  In fact the antenna I borrowed from a friend ( a cheap Phillips rabbit ears antenna) works better.  I'm trying to find the best solution for the basement as that's where  I'm most of the time.  It's a walk out basement.  Any suggestions?  I REALLY don't want to go back to cable!
Document: I bought this to have a backup for weather reports (here in tornado alley) when cable goes out. Got quite a few more local channels than standard rabbit ears (23 as opposed to 13, as I recall). But the thing I really like is it is so flat and unobtrusive. The only problem I had was using it down in the basement which I guess stands to reason. It worked much better if it was near a door. But for a back-up emergency system, it's great.
I had a standard Mohu Leaf and it worked wonderful, then I let a friend try it and he paid for it as he wouldn't give it back. So, by the time I ordered another I bought the amplified version. So far so good. With a normal set of rabbit ears that I despised, we could get 1-2 stations if the weather conditions were completely ideal. If all of the stars aligned, we could possibly get 4 stations, but only if we slightly moved the ears around.
But once you get it optimized it locks in the resulting channels pretty well. Did find one unexpected result though. Had been trying to position the antennas on the wall and was able to in the basement and upstairs (amplified versions), but the one on the main level I wanted out of sight.... turns out flat on the mantle behind the TV is the best spot for it (oriented parallel to the floor and not on the wall at all) for optimum reception.
I bought this antenna to replace an old rabbit ears setup in my camper. The rabbit ears worked great but took up too much space and looked old & junky. After researching several different models, I felt that either the Leaf or Amplified Leaf were the way to go, especially for my camper application. I chose the Amplified Leaf because I figured an amplified signal would work better than a non-amplified one and also because I caught a great Amazon warehouse deal.
I normally do not write reviews, but felt that this product deserved a good review. I had two other antenna's (one amplified and the other just regular rabbit ears), this one got all the channels that the other antennas were not able to find. I have it set up in my second floor closet and it really works well.I get a clear and clean signal from almost all available channels. I would highly recommend this product over the other antennas if you want a clear and consistent signal.
I bought this based on Amazon reviews, in the hopes that it would work for me. I've cut the cable cord and really did not want to go back, but I've been missing local broadcast channels. I'd tried a different antenna and was gun shy.Also I must mention that I have no windows facing my local broadcast towers. None. And I'm on the third floor.Lo and behold, this antenna picks up TONS of channels through my walls and the walls of other apartments.It is awesome.
My new LEAF-PLUS was a tint above my RCA rabbit ears. It was mostly a decor advantage and not a performance upgrade. Again, in fairness, I live in Sacramento where signals may vary.They (Mohu) have a good return policy and even a better one buying one via Amazon; so it isn't a risk.In the meantime, I'm asking Amazon for a replacement unit first before I ask for a refund. As said, I really want this to work.
I have this supposed HDTV antenna. I've been trying to find a place where I can get all 14 stations I used to get with a cheap antenna I purchased from Best Buy. Closest I've come is 10 stations. If someone walks near it. Or, if there is a cloud in the sky. The picture pixelates or the station goes out completely. It's has to be moved constantly. It's so bad even the commercials don't come in. This product was a complete waste of money.
I had enough of paying Time Warner Cable $60 a month, while barely watching my TV and getting dreadful customer services. While this antenna isn't cheap, I'm thrilled with the investment. Even though I live in an urban area, my TV picture is even better than cable (because it's not digitally compressed by the cable company).One downside... I have to change the direction of the antenna to receive one or two stations.
First, I can't believe how small this is. It fits behind my wall-mounted flat TV, so its practically invisible. Second, I'm amazed at the reception. Last year, I invested in an expensive roof-mounted antennae and ran a cable through an exterior wall....and despite all that time and money, it only got half the channels of this little unit. Between this and Roku, I'm completely cable-free and get just about every video I could ever want.
Answer: I have my leaf amplified in the basement and it works great.   When I just plugged it in directly to my tv I got horrible reception due to the placement of the tv.   I moved the leaf on the side of my window sill which is far away from my tv and just used a cable extension.   I now get tons of channels and don't pay for cable tv anymore.
