Working well now but required a call (long) to good customer service. If you have issues initially reset your modem and router first. An unusual unexplained issue is our micro cell for phone is stuck in the wrong time zone.
Extra thumbs up for helpful and available help!

 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.

I learned of this during a vist to the store. I was excited to integrate three remotes and google home. The customer service from Harmony was good but I still am having syncing issues, This does not directly connect to Google Home, has to "ask Harmony " to change any function and it is hit or miss. Wife hates it so it will most likely be returned.

My only gripe with BestBuy is the gouging on periferals like this cord. I just purchased a similar one for about half the price. If you want it now from the store this is it.

I purchased this as a basic tv for a temporary stay away from home. I am satisfied but its usefulness is not truly tested because of marginal Wi-Fi for streaming. picture seems plenty clear and bright for an inexpensive choice. Software is better than an older LG 60" smart tv and no cumbersome "wand" remote.

This was a gift purchase for my son-in-law. My son who has three of these uses them to control their stereo sound system. The youngsters get a kick out of talking to it having it tell jokes. I personally use Google home because of integration with my Android phone.

This was to eliminate a rental cable box for the DW's TV. She has used the DVD with no problems but when I did a test stream I experienced buffering. I don't know if it's the WiFi but I had a problem chromecast too.

planning on placing mine in garage. I also have hdmi will the cold effect this unit should I disconnect in winter months my man cave garage is not heated

I see no reason to disconnect. This has no moving parts. The tv may have temperature limitations but I have had a tv on a covered exterior deck in winter with no problem. If room is heated intermittent it might cause condensation that would be bad for the tv but I doubt it would affect the antenna.

Microsoft - Type Cover for Surface Pro 3 - Blue
Microsoft Type Cover for Surface Pro 3: Complement your Surface Pro 3 by adding protection and performance whether you're at home, at work or on the go. The ultrathin keyboard doubles as a screen-protecting case and sits at an incline on flat surfaces for a comfortable typing experience.
 

Can Windows Office software be added?

This is only an accessory for the Surface Pro 3 and, no, there is software. I wish MSFT would give at least a break on software with a hardware purchase. I have noted and posted about this because they give free or limited suite of software to other manufacturer users.
