Mohu Curve 50 vs. Mohu Leaf 50 vs. Amazonbasics Ultra Thin High Performance

Not those particular antennas but I've used two similar ones. I have an amplified Terk FDTV1A in my attic that now serves the entire house. I live in Baton Rouge about 10-12 miles from the major stations and always had to tweak the antenna when I had it attached directly to the TV. First, they aren't really omnidirectional. Second, they work best when they have minimum obstructions between the antenna and the signal, i.e., in a window or in the attic clear of the mechanical equipment. They're strictly for local stations; if you're more than 20 miles away look at getting a regular antenna array like the RCA Ant. If you have stations in both the UHF and VHF bands be sure you get an antenna that can handle both.

Yeah attic mounted or external antennas are great. I move cities way too often to have one of those setups though. For example my current house doesn't even have an attic. I'm leaving my current location in April and who knows what I'll have then.
