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.

Excellent Item

The Mohu Leaf 50 is a great product. It's super thin and pulls in TV signals very well. I cut the cable cord and stream now using apps. I wanted to get some local channels so I bought this model 50 because it's amplified and has a long cord. The nice thing is that the power comes from a USB plug you can power from the back of the TV only when the TV power is on instead of plugging it into the wall and constantly drawing power even when the TV is off. But, a wall plug is provided in case you need that option.

Love Bose sound
on January 20, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got these Bose headphones for an incredible price of $40. during a Black Friday sale. I do not use headphones often but bought these for my son to use. He preferred the standard in ear earbud style so I kept these for myself in case I wanted to use a headset or to bring on an airplane instead of buying those cheap in flight ones . I only used these Bose buds once but I was very impressed with the incredible sound. It comes with a very nice carry case that is handy. Bose sound is incredible and their quality is unmatched. Always amazed at how such awesome sound comes from their tiny products!
NOTE: there is no mic so not recommended for talking on cell phone.

Great device for streaming beginner

Verified Purchase:Yes
You can't beat the price for this device! I paid $30. on sale but at $40. is still a good deal. I am cutting the cord with cable and bought this to help achieve that. I am using a Motorola 802.11 ac WiFi modem/router and there is no lag or buffering with this stick. Easy to use and Alexa voice is handy. I also have an Apple TV and a Roku Premium +. I like the Roku because it is easy to use. The Apple is the most difficult because the remote is too sensitive but I like that the remote is very thin and small and it also has a rechargeable battery. The Fire Stick remote is not too big, thin and easy to use. Alexa works well.

Fast streaming model

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this Roku Premiere Plus because I am cutting the cable cord. I had a very old Roku HD model, one of their first or second gen and an 8 yr old Netgear router which was not cutting it anymore. Lag, buffering and just annoying so I needed to upgrade. Originally I selected this Roku model because of the ethernet port so I could directly hard wire it to my router instead of using WiFi. I also bought a new 802.11 ac Motorola modem/router, one of their top all in one models and I couldn't be happier with the results. I ended up using the WiFi on the Roku and the picture is amazing. The 1080p is crisp and clear, no lag and very fast. The headset on the remote is a nice feature for when my partner is watching and I'm trying to sleep but I just moved the Roku to a 4K TV in the livingroom so I have the option to view 4K programs.

Awesome HDTV
on January 20, 2017
Posted by: Kris
Verified Purchase:Yes
In my opinion, Sony makes the best TV's and I will probably not try another brand again. I have a Samsung I bought 3 years ago and it's already having issues. I also have an old Sony Bravia 40 inch TV (one of the first LED HD models) and it's still going strong after 15 years.
This XBR model is really nice. Sharp, crisp picture, deep colors and a great price for a Sony 55 inch.
The only negative things I can thing of is that you need a remote to turn it on/off. So far I have not found a power button on the console itself, not too much of an issue unless you lose the remote. I would have liked a better refresh rate for fast action scenes but then I would have had to spend much more $$. Still, Sony's Motionview does a good job and with 1080p programs the picture is stunning.

Used to love Trend Micro products and used them for years. Like the automatic updates. Unfortunately we got a virus and it wiped out our hard drive and Windows won't even start up. Worst part was that I lost many years of family photos... ugh !!!

Not a good Galaxy

I bought this phone for my boyfriend and we both hate it. I have a Galaxy Grand Prime and it works great but this Galaxy model is bad. I cannot hear him when he talks. It sounds garbled even with perfect reception. He complains that it is slow and unresponsive. We are getting rid of it.

Is the cup including?

If by "cup" you mean the travel mug then no, it's not included.
The model has a measuring cup you scoop the ground coffee into with a mesh bottom that filters the coffee as it is brewing (if that is what "cup" you are referring to then yes, 1 scoop is included. Another older model included 2 scoop cups but not this newer model).

How do I use k cups in this coffee maker

This model does not support K-cups but that is why I bought it. You'll save money buying regular ground coffee over the cost of cups.

Does this Roku premium + support Direct TV Now?

Not yet. I have the Roku Premium + model but as of right now, (any model) Roku does not offer the Directv Now app. I just signed up for Directv Now and they said that Roku will have their app in early 2017 so it should be on there soon. Diectv Now gave me a free Apple TV device that supports their app when I signed up with them and prepaid for 3 months. It's nice but the Roku is easier to operate. As an old Roku user I am not getting rid of it and will patiently wait for the Directv channel to be offered on Roku. They are working on it. Still, Roku offers many, many channels/apps, some I have not seen on Amazon Fire or Apple TV . NOTE: Amazon Fire Stick offers the Directv Now channel right now and you can get a free Fire stick when you prepay for 1 month of Directv Now (I paid $30. for my Fire Stick but got an Apple TV for free with 3 months prepay).
