The next generation of indoor HDTV antennas is here! The Mohu Gateway Plus amplified indoor antenna offers impressive 60-mile range with our integrated FirstStage amplifier, located right at the base of the antenna where signal is at its best for clean reception. High-performance coaxial cable is attached to the antenna for optimized function and fewer opportunities for signal interruption. LED signal indicator lights show in real time where TV signals are strongest in your home. The more lights you see, the more stable your reception. The Gateway Plus TV antenna is multi-directional and provides UHF and Hi-VHF reception from the front and back of the antenna. Thanks to contemporary, contoured design on the outside and advanced antenna technology on the inside, your antenna can be just as sharp as the crisp HD picture it delivers to your TV! The convenient antenna stand with keyholes offers installation flexibility to hang the antenna on a wall or simply place it on a flat surface by your TV and the USB power injector plugs right into your TV~s USB port for power. Easy setup and low-profile design make this antenna perfect for city, suburb, and single-TV homes and compact spaces like apartments and dorm rooms. Full HD 1080p, 4K, 8K UHD, and Nextgen TV compatible. No internet required. Find local free TV channels and towers on our website or using our free Antenna Point app. Since introducing the world~s first paper-thin Leaf indoor antenna in 2011, Mohu has embraced new standards for HDTV innovation.

Missing Features/Desperately Needed!
on May 2, 2026
Posted by: 1701jim
Verified Purchase:Yes
In the most recent visit/transaction, the associate did not enter the correct item number. Mistakingly, he entered Mohu, which I've owned for more than a couple of years. As a result, I quickly cancelled the order, and placed the correct order for an indoor antenna with 5G filtration (along with a signal range of 65 miles; 12 feet cable) -- missing features/desperately needed to prevent 5G from polluting the receiption. My new indoor antenna (Terk) is now working better than my existing Mohu Gateway, bought only a couple of years ago!

Braun's Winning Effectuation With The 9's
on April 13, 2025
Posted by: 1701jim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Score 4.75 -- rounded to 5.
Incremental changes at best: still trying to determine if the 94M cassette beats the 92s -- since mechanically, the 9376 & 9567 are the same?
Moreover, the precision trimmer on the 9567 surpasses the oddly rounded trimmer on the 9376 -- nice and precise, able to finely cut straight sideburns.
As for the cleaning station & solution, it seems to be a modicum of improvement -- quietier. The solution is suppose to be an improvement: it has better a more Lemony fresh smell, and cleaner lubrication properties.
Again, why tamper with the best already smooth sensitive shaver: that's essentially what Braun has done -- only keeping the best slowly improving until the all new 10 series arrives!
Thus, worth buying with full confidence!

3 out of 5Disappointing 4K-UHD Transfer
By Cobra
I've been a fan of Star Trek since 1966. I have all the films and even a collection of the original series, as well as Star Trek: TNG. I've had many of the above on VHS, Laserdisc and regular DVD. I was really hoping this recent transfer up to 4K-UHD with Dolby Vision would be spectacular. It certainly should have been.
Sadly, I have to say it wasn't even close. I found the film to be DARK AND GRAINY. I currently own over a thousand discs, with well over 400 being Blu-ray and so far I have 97 4K-UHD films. So I've gotten pretty good at knowing what a good transfer should look like . . . and this ain't it!
I just read a professional review where even it acknowledged this transfer is at best rated at B+. I think that was overly-generous, as this should at best be a C-. My equipment is a fully ISF Calibrated LG-G2 77" OLED, Panasonic 9000 player and an upper-end Denon receiver. Paramount should be ashamed of this transfer.

This lean, mean 4K machine is primed for your leap into Quantum Dot technology~and a bold new world of color and contrast. Take your entire viewing experience to the next level with the elevated audio and astounding picture quality of Samsung QLED. Not only will you see your TV shows and movies instantly transformed into 4K, but you~ll also take in a billion shades of unwavering color. Beyond amazing visuals, you~ll be drawn in by 3D surround sound that moves with the action.

4 out of 5Great TV. But!!!!
By Xsistor
[Employee of bestbuy] I purchased 2 of these mainly because i read it had hdmi 2.1 and 4 hdmi ports. The specs on the website are innacurate the TV has 3 Hdmi inputs and does not support the hdmi 2.1 standard. The tv is surprisingly good being 60hz its very bright easy to setup. Volume was average. The interface works we use Apple TVs so we wont be using Tizen overall good product.

Always check the Impedance & System plugged into!
October 9, 2023
HD 599 has a high Impedance requirement to be plugged into -- such as an integrated stereo system, or receiver that can handle the high ohms impedance -- found in higher end systems. The HD 569 is 32 Ohms, and it should sound better -- even if plugged into a lower end system.

Sony has broken these with a bad firmware and are unwilling to fix it or even admit there's a problem. When watching dual layer discs, this thing locks up hard about 3/4th the way through the movie. There are some settings you can try to adjust, but they don't fix the issue. I've reached out to Sony but they pretended like there aren't tons of people complaining about this issue. Buy something else.

Sony Please Update Software -- Urgently Needed!
February 11, 2025
Hi Sony,
The X700 player has not received a firmware update since 5/2022. We are greatly in need of an update for stability of system/ and to resolve playback issues of newer disc. Please understand, many of your loyal customers have turned off both the outdated 4k upscaler and the cinema mode (choosing video only). Nevertheless, I have an outstanding HDMI cable, an outstanding surge protector (with MOV), and chosen Direct when watching a movie -- connected to a Sony 2022 model (X1 Pro Processor) -- no DV.
Again, please request the department, in charge of updating X700 software to be propitious -- urgently needed -- software update for stability of system/ resolve playability of newer discs!
Most Kindly,
