Wasn't sure where to put this..

Already having an iPhone and an iTunes account and all my music stored there, I purchased my first AppleTV to replace a brand new Squeezbox Classic and the (new at the time) Duet remote. I fired those up flawlessly the first time I set them up. But the duet would unpair from the Squeezbox frequently and I was also having a fair amount of issues with the Squeezbox playing files from my Netgear NAS. After giving up, the AppleTV made too much sense. It was 1/2 the price of the Squeezbox and the "Remote" app from the AppStore was free and did everything I wanted and more (Control over AppleTV, album art, etc.). All the extras included on the AppleTV was a bonus and over the last 4-5 years I've been using most of the features more and more. With cord-cutting becoming more of a seriously viable option for me, the evolution of the AppleTV would play right into my environment. The TiVo, if I keep it, will bridge that gap, assuming AppleTV will eventually add some sort of subscription based service. Beyond that, I look forward to full-on inter-connectivity of all these idevices and what the future holds over the next 2-3 years and longer term, including car-play.

Wait, you bought the Mohu leaf as well?!?!

And so did I, based on the wise advice of the guru's here.

I went from four stations with rabbit ears, to over 30.

However, a lot of the Boston stations drift into pixels then loss of signal. I'll play with it and probably end up with the 17 or so stations that AnntenaeWeb.com thinks I should get.

Great find, people! :handgestures-thumbup:

(and I used a gift card at Wally World).
 
I use an Winegard Flatwave right now, but I tend to lose signal during inclement weather. I am going to look into solutions for an outdoor antenna, but it is a little trickier in a rented house in terms of what the landlord is likely to allow.

Just wondering if you might need a signal amplifier ? I think that might be cheaper than buying an amplified Mohu Leaf:

Here is an amplifier :

Hello my good friend. How are you feeling these days?

I already bought the amplified leaf and like it so far. a good feature is that it is powered through the TV's USB output. This way it is off (I think) when the TV is off.

Good to see you Barn.
 
Do you guys connect the Mohu Leaf into an AVR to use through you system or directly to the TV and not use your audio system?
 
^ Well I would guess it would have to go through the tuner on the Display first?

How do you guys connect this antenna and can it be connected to your audio system?
 
Hey Bob,

I was on their website and looked at the instructions. I called them and the girl on the phone was clueless when I asked if I connect directly to the TV or can I connect to the AVR........she was not sure what I was talking about, but that is okay, I guess?

I was curious how you guys were connecting it, because I am seriously considering cutting the cord, however if the OTA can not be easily connected through my audio system, then this would not be a good option for me.

Hope other chime in as well.

My antenna is connected to a quad-tuner Tablo DVR, which is in turn connected to my router. I watch live and recorded TV content via Roku on all of my televisions.
 
It makes sense that the antenna's signal must go through a tuner first, before other components in the system.
 
Unless you're simultaneously inquiring about FM. The antenna needs to be connected to an HDTV tuner either on the back of the TV, or a outboard tuner/DVR. Excluding FM radio, I can't think of a reason you'd connect directly to a A/V receiver or preamp.
 
So let me know if I understand this????

I purchase a HDTV Antenna and connect it to a device like a Tablo 2. Have a dedicated external Hard drive.

Then I need a device like a Roku 3 that has an HDMI Output. I can then connect the Roku to my AVR via the HDMI.

Thru the Roku I would stream Netflex, etc from the net and be able to access on the TV in the Den and/or if I had a Roku in the Home Theater, I could access there as well.

I think I understand it.........
 
Yup. With the exception of discs, I can access all content via Roku. The Taboo is just another Roku channel like Netflix or Amazon. Ditto for Plex (media server).
 
All of my current tvs have either optical or coaxial digital audio outputs so you could just run out of your TV into the AVR.
