This is perhaps the best antenna that we have ever seen; while there are a number of efforts on the market, The Leaf Ultimate surpasses them in sheer quality. The mud-flap styled design (established originally by the U.S. military) provides a large surface area. This allows the antenna to pick up the widest array of signals; The Leaf Ultimate has a range of 50 miles. The Leaf Ultimate is multidirectional, ensuring that one will not have to move the antenna or otherwise get into high/dangerous areas to gain the benefits of the antenna.
When we tested out the antenna, The Leaf Ultimate was able to clarify the reception of a number of channels that were fuzzy or otherwise impossible to view. Furthermore, the antenna allowed us to view a number of stations that we have never been able to pick up. The additional channels should make the decision to move away from paid television services; at about $90 (available at a number of online retailers), the cost of The Leaf Ultimate is about what an individual would pay for a single month of service. The weight of The Leaf Ultimate is sufficiently low (1.5 pounds) that it can find itself on any sort of wall; the flexibility of the unit ensures that it can be maintained indefinitely.
For those that would be concerned about how The Leaf Ultimate would look in their house or apartment, the antenna itself is paintable (ensuring that it can match any sort of room). The Go Mohu website ( http://www.gomohu.com ) has in depth information about each of the antennas that Mohu produces; find one for yourself and see the sheer array of free content that one can pick up.
