One of the most popular antennas, not saying its the cheapest or the best, as I really have no clue, but this is the lowest price it has been, about $15-20 below normal

Mohu Paper Thin Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna for $34.99 - 30% with promo code MOHULEAF30 = $24.49. Shipping is free.

Thanks, I ordered one. The reviews on Amazon are really good - 4.5 out of 5 stars, with over 1,000 reviews.

This would be for the kitchen TV on which I am currently using rabbit ears - I am sure the leaf will do better. For my main TV I use a roof-mounted UHF antenna from Radio Shack but I keep it out of the way behind my couch. $75 and works great.

I have the Leaf and it works great. I got it a few months ago for my grandiose plan to cut the cord. I cancelled my cable, but Comcast still has yet to shut it off (and I haven't been billed), so I'm just riding the gravy train until it ends. But I do use the Leaf for when I want to watch network shows in HD.

Not as good of a deal, but 10% off when ordering directly from Mohu with the code "killcablewithleaf". (It worked for me when I ordered a few months ago.)

I found it on this site back when I was researching antennae: http://www.killthecablebill.com/

I am surrounded by hills and can't get a single DTV channel to come in using rabbit ears. I wonder if this would work or if I have to go with a rooftop antenna. Any thoughts?

This is what I have behind my couch, an outdoor UHF antenna:

Or put it on your roof of course. This is a great antenna, the advantage of the leaf is that it is small but can still pull in some stations - I ordered it for my kitchen TV.

By the way, I still haven't received the leaf.

All right, I finally got it in the mail and have been playing around with it. It is not a miracle worker, you can get a better signal with rabbit ears if you play around with the angle of the rabbit ears. And I don't like that it came with a white cord instead of a black cord, the white cord sticks out like a sore thumb against a black TV.

Does it pull in strong signals? Sure. Does it pull in weak signals? Sort of, but you need to play with the angle, just like you would with rabbit ears. Is it worth $25? I think that $12 or $15 would be a fairer price, but $25 is not an outrageous price for it.

Buy this antenna if you have nearby stations you want - do not buy this antenna thinking that you will be pulling in stuff you can't already get with rabbit ears.

I would give it 3 out of 5 stars if I were rating it on Amazon.

Pros: Thin, can be hidden behind a picture or behind the TV.
Cons: Not any better than rabbit ears, comes with a white cord, too expensive for what it is.

My $2.99 rabbit ears antenna picks up all the channels here. Works for me.
