Hi all,
I'm new to the world of OTA reception. I'd like to get the basic network channels with an antenna hooked up to my Hauppage 2250 in my HTPC (using an LCD Monitor as a display). I am in a garden apartment, so I'd be placing the antenna at ground level.

I was looking at the Mohu Leaf (unamp'ed) on Amazon. Would this be adequate?

Here is my TV fool location:

Thanks for your help!

I have never used or recommended the Leaf, but with the signal strength at your location, It should work fine if you have a spot to mount it with the flat surface facing somewhere between the South and West.

An antenna that may perform a little better is the Terk HDTVi (un-amplified).

I would also prefer the HDTVi

I see that the address is to city level only and the antenna height is 131.2 feet.

Is that correct??
