Will Leaf Work with UHF and VHF? I need a multi-directional antenna for indorrs/attic that gets both UHF and VHF. ABC in my area is the lone VHF channel.Thanks

I also rotated my Mohu 90 degrees and was able to pick up 7 more digital channels from the same spot in a corner. Thanks for the tips!
1768163
depends of your location, I'm 35 miles from the stations, I receive all except the low VHF, like channel 2.

Pick up some cheap rabbit ears or any other vhf antenna and added it to your set-up with a splitter. I currently have a amp, splitter, the RCA basic antenna connected with my Leaf. I have no issues with reception or getting all the channels in the area. Make sure you use a digital splitter.

To be even more specific - as sometimes a regular splitter won't work as well - you have to purchase a UHF/VHF Diplexer that you can buy online or from an electronics store. Great discussion here - FREE TV RULES!

Can you link to an amazon product that will do this? I think i need to mix rabbit ears with Mohu.

Thanks. This is the same info I received from Mohu.I did purchase one. I am about 35 miles from Philadelphia. I am able to get the VHF channel 6 (ABC) if I rotate the antenna 90 degrees.

I have a the Leaf and a DB4 antenna in my attic; neither are amplified. The Leaf gets better UHF but the DB4 gets better VHF. For an all-in-one antenna in the attic, I think the DB4 is better.

It is a highly directional antenna designed to receive UHF but will probably pick up VHF signals if the transmitter is close by and it is pointed at it. That said I can pick up tv stations that have their transmitter about 25 miles away with a coat hanger as an antenna. The vast majority of stations today are broadcasting on a UHF freuuency. Even if it is a low number channel 2-13 it doesn't necessarily mean that they are broadcasting on a VHF frequency. You would be best off with an antenna designed for VHF/UHF. The antenna that I use is Dennys TV service "Stacker" antenna with seperate UHF and VHF antennas stacked one on top of the other. I chose this antenna because it is mounted in my attic on a rotor and it fits in the eves much better than a longer antenna. I did buy an 91XG to try to pick up one particular UHF station but found that it was no better than the Dennys antenna that I had. The 91XG is currently sitting on the floor of my attic unused Again I would recommend a UHF/VHF antenna from a vendor like Dennys, Solid Signal, Summit Source. I would stay away from those that make outrageous claims like receiving channels 150 miles away etc. Some reputable manufacturers are Winegard, Channel Master, AntennaCraft, Blonder Tongue. Before you buy and install a new antenna I strongly urge you to visit the TVFool website and to a lesser extent AntennaWeb. There you should find answers to many of your questions. Good luck.

You can but it also has limited UHF reach. I can pull in my UHF stations with this antenna.it is the VHF which are harder to get and this antenna addressed that problem.

Actually that is my current setup. I have a Moho Leaf antenna and it works great. It also picks up TV guides for all current air tv channels.

This antenna is optimized for digital UHF and VHF. You would probably do much better with a Wineguard omni-directional antenna (about $18)

Yes Section 5 of the users manual says "Can this antenna work with Analogue transmissions? Yes, this antenna can receive analogue television broadcasts in the UHF and VHF bandwidths."

The range depends on a number of factors. Frequency is one factor. A simple rule of the thumb is that the higher the frequency the shorter the range. So you get more range on VHF than on UHF. But UHF is better and penetrating walls. Another factor is the antenna. The stock antenna is pretty poor. You should always get a better antenna.Another factor is terrain. You can get some impressive distances with a clear line of sight. But obstructions will reduce the range.

I am not sure what channels vhf is. But this I can tell you. That I get my local channels here Michigan, abc nbc cw, pbs,tct cbs, and other networks as well.in my area here in Michigan .and I am in the Country area. Note the higher the better.

If you are actually talking channels 2 or 6, which are VHF frequencies and not Virtual channels like 2.1 or 6.1, then you need a VHF antenna. This is a UHF, not a VHF antenna. In the future all TV will be in the UHF range which this antenna picks up.

Winegard Direct and several other web sites will make antenna recommendations based on your physical address and channels you want to receive. In every case, YMMV. However, if you can get a signal indoors most of the time, you can probably get a much better one with a roof-mounted antenna. Basically, you need to get up higher and eliminate as much structure between you and the broadcaster as possible. Make sure the antenna is both VHF and UHF, preferably not uni-directional unless all your stations are on the same antenna farm. Try antennaweb dot com or just Google "TV antenna recommendations."

I haven't had any luck with high VHF channels with this antenna. An amplified leaf antenna did better.

It's pulling in vhf channels also. That's a pleasant surprise. I am receiving all of the channels I received via the uhf-vhf antenna.

The only VHF station in this area is on Channel 3 and it comes in fine. However, I'm told that it is actually broadcasting in the UHF band somehow. I've not used the antenna with FM.

No. This model antenna is specific to UHF frequencies. For VHF at that distance, I'd recommend this &lt;http://is.gd/OhpTQJ&gt;.

yes it will work to a degree. i use a splitter in reverse to combine a UHF and a VHF antenna. there is signal loss!, but i can live with it. the antenna stores have splitters to combine specific frequencies/bands. it would pay to do some more research and perhaps contact a store to asses your specific intention.

Yes. Just plug in any TV antenna. Beware that some of your local TV stations might be broadcasting on the VHF TV frequencies. Those flat or mini "digital" antennas are optimized for the UHF frequencies, so won't pick up VHF stations well unless they're strong, & you're really close to the station. For an indoor antenna, a set of rabbit ears extended about 15"-18" work well for VHF indoors, & do pretty good with the UHF stations too. Look up your local TV station frequencies to see if any of them are broadcasting on VHF. If not, you can get away with a little or flat antenna if you live near a city with lots of stations. In my area Channel 67 broadcasts 4 great sub-channels on the old VHF frequency channel 7. Rabbit ears were the only things that would pick it up. The mini & flat "digital antennas didn't work, but got the UHF stations fine. The better the antenna, the more stations you'll get.
