After reading the reviews, I was a little leery of what I was in for (installation), but after getting it home and setting it up, installation went smoothly . Accessing it, however, takes a little longer than I'm accustomed to, but is within reasonable expectations considering you are saving/pulling files from/to over a wireless network.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Finished product is satisfactory to good. Easy to install.
What's not so great: Doesn't always work as expected.
I purchased this software to transfer old VHS tapes to DVD. When in 'record' mode, everything "appears" to be running smoothly, but upon playing the finished DVD, sometimes there is something on it, and sometimes not. Customer Service suggested rebooting the computer and starting over. Known issue and nothing can be done about it. Not sure it this is just with the MAC version or not.

 Mohu - Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna with 60-Mile Range - Black/White
Mohu - Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna with 60-Mile Range - Black/White
Launched in 2011, this design established the trend of paper-thin TV antennas. Universally compatible with all HDTVs, the Mohu Leaf 50 offers the benefits and powerful performance of our notorious design coupled with the Jolt Switch USB in-line amplifier to reach a 60-mile range. Control TV signal amplification in real time with a simple ON/OFF switch. When it’s "on", TV signals are increased for clearer picture and sound, sometimes receiving channels beyond your antenna’s standard range. When it’s "off", amplification is bypassed while TV signals are still filtered from FM and cellular interference. When plugged into your TV’s USB port, the amplifier only draws power when the TV is on, saving energy, or use the included USB power adapter with any standard wall outlet. Perfect for suburban areas, compact living spaces, single-TV homes, dorm rooms, RVs…take this efficient antenna just about anywhere you go. Easy to set up and easy on the eyes. Multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF elements receive TV signals from both sides, so you can show either side of the black or white reversible design or paint the Leaf antenna for a customized look. Note: The range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency of signals coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain, and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers. Find your TV towers and channels by using our free Antenna Point app on your android or iOS device.
 

Will this enhance the HD quality of the HD I'm paying for already in my DVR box from Direct TV ?

Don't believe you can run two input signals into the sam input jack. You'd have to have two inputs on your TV and simply switch between the two sources - either the Antenna/Cable input or some other HDMI/computer input - watching one source at a time.

What does the actual antenna attach to? I understand the cable end plugs into the TV, but what does the floppy flat thing attach to? (Wall?, TV, or?)

It attaches to the cable running into your TV, as well as a power plug (unless you get the non-amplified).

Does this device need to be near a window?

My TV is in the middle of my house and I can't hang it by a window without the cord going across a doorway
Not necessarily, but if you could, the signal stands to be better. We have one in our basement mounted on a north wall. The basement has NO WINDOWS, and the signal is great - good HD and clear, sharp picture, AND the picture doesn't break up any more than the one upstairs. You'd just have to experiment with placement and angle.

What is the range for this antenna to pick up broadcast TV signals?

Don't know your area or where you live, but we live in Omaha and can pick up Lincoln's PBS.

CAN I PUT THIS ANTENNA IN THE GARAGE ATTIC AND GET A GOOD RECEPTION?

I suppose you could, but remember, the longer the cable run from the antenna to the TV, the more signal loss/interference you'll get - like anything else.

I currently have a Leaf 30 but can't get FOX or NBC both have a signal strength of 32, way below the other channels, will a Leaf 50 work better?

I believe you would be quite satisfied with the Leaf 50 - we get all the Major networks (ABC/CBS/NBC) local channels, Fox, Grit, PBS (2), 3.1, 3.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.1 7.2 and a few in-between that and 42.2.

Mohu Leaf 50 UHF/VHF

The UHF and VHF channels in my area are the same distance to my house. The antenna reads VHF (channels 8 & 10) but it doesn't pick them up. Is there something else I need to do or buy to get those channels?
I'm no expert, but have you told your TV that the signal is now a different 'source' and have you run the 'auto program/seek' function on your TV to pickup those channels? We just have the Moho and we get channels 3.1 - 43.2 (a few in-between which has a signal, but no picture), but those are so few, it really doesn't matter - for for the money we're saving on DTV or cable!

if i place the antenna on the wall behind my wall mounted tv would i still get a good reception?

Yes - the higher (naturally) the better. However, I have one mounted behind the TV in our finished basement, low enough so when you are seated, it isn't distractive to your view, and the signal is just as good as the one we have in the living area upstairs, laying flat on the credenza.

What is the range for this antenna to pick up broadcast TV signals?

The range depends on which one you purchase - the two I purchased are 50 Mile, but I believe there may be one up to 70 Miles.

Uploading DVD collection

My main purpose for this unit would be to upload my DVD collection and music files. I want the ability to access these files over the internet from my electronic device (phone, laptop). Is this possible?
My understanding is that you can access any and all data stored on your Seagate personal cloud by remotely accessing it from their website, then inputting your password. I didn't try a DVD file, but I did access a Word file from my computer while away from home on someone else's wi-fi. My understanding is you can access it from any device as long as you know your password and their website address (which they provide you).
