Mohu

mohu

Mohu, The Cord Cutting Company. Their devices are sure to please your favorite TV-lover as cord cutting grows increasingly prevalent in and cost-effective for American households. In fact, 1 in 8 U.S. households who cut the cord save an average of $103.10 per month.

Here are a few of Mohu’s newest high-quality, easy-to-install and cost-effective HDTV antennas and cord cutting products:

  • AirWave: is a first-of-its kind wireless device that allows viewers to combine live, local broadcast TV with free streaming channels in a familiar, easy-to-use programming guide. AirWave is available in two affordable options: the AirWave Premium Edition comes included with a 70-mile range outdoor antenna and all AirWave components. For those with an existing strong antenna, the AirWave Basic Edition includes the Mohu AirWave device as well as access to the free Mohu TV app, allowing customers to set up AirWave on any compatible streaming device, including Fire TV, Android OS, Apple iOS (iPhone, iPad), Apple tvOS, and Roku devices.
  • Blade: is a departure from Mohu’s previous HDTV antennas in aesthetic only. The antenna offers  a sleek and modern design resembling a sound bar, while delivering the same quality picture and vast reception range that is representative of the Mohu brand. Blade come with a 10-foot coaxial cable that gives customers the ultimate flexibility to place it almost anywhere: mounted on a wall, perched atop a shelf, even placed outside. Further, amplified with new FirstStage technology, the amplifier is located right next to the antenna, setting the noise floor of the digital system and mitigating the loss created by the coaxial cable, resulting in less pixelation and crystal-clear picture.
  • Striker: is an outdoor antenna with an impressive 75-mile reception range. Its unique design makes it easily placeable and ideal for almost any location and can even be used on-the-go. Beyond offering indoor and outdoor compatibility, this antenna gives consumers completely free access to the most popular network shows they care about, including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, The CW, Univision, and more. Because over-the-air broadcasts are uncompressed, Striker is capable of delivering the clearest high-definition picture possible, noticeably better than cable and satellite providers.
