[Microsoft Store] HOT! Mohu Leaf 50 + Hauppage Tuner $99

Microsoft just announced their OTA tuner for the Xbox One and seems like they are having a sale. Pretty hot deal considering the Mohu Leaf 50 is ~$110 on Amazon.ca and the Hauppage tumer itself is ~$80.

Just add the tuner to your cart and it will ask you if you want to bundle the antenna with it.

I had some error message come up when trying to add to cart, but i just kept trying and it worked.

Mohu leaf 50 is $70 reg price on MS store.

BTW, the tuner is a rebranded WinTV-HVR-955Q (for which $60 reg is a very nice tag compared to Canadian retail).

Would the OTA experts here think this would give better results than my Digiwave 4 bay antenna (UHF only) at ground level outdoors?

I've been hesitant to get a better 4 bay because of metal theives (confronted one once outside my apt trying to steal my 4 bay) but I can't imagine a piece of plastic garnering much interest.

the leaf is a POS... I have one, using indoors near a window in my first floor of the house. I get the same amount of channels with a cheap DIY setup - connecting an old cable splitter to cable, then sticking two straighten paperclip on the splitter ends to use as antenna.

I got way better results from a db4e vs leaf, and tuners are obsoleted by hdhomerun as far as I'm concerned.

Wow. Thanks clicked. Perhaps I should get a db4e and hope for the best.

So if it's a rebranded tuner, does that mean it will work just as well on Windows without an Xbox?

I have had this tuner for like 5 years, I wonder if it will work or if you need the xbox one branded tuner. The only problem I see is that the xbox only has one USB port so I would need to constantly be unplugging it if I wanted to charge my controller or watch a video on a USB stick etc. I wonder if you can use a USB hub with this thing

You've got one on the side and two more in the back.

Not exactly direct competitors though, with one being indoor and the other outdoor, so apples to oranges.

While true, there is nothing stopping you from using a db4e inside out of sight behind a TV or something. My set up is that I put the db4e maybe 12 feet up on my detached garage and have it connected to hdhomerun and using powerline ethernet to get to the network inside. Works pretty well... I was too lazy to properly mount to the chimney or something but didn't need to in the end.

If one is thinking of going Over-The-Air (OTA) Digital Television ? I would say either get an Antenna Direct DB8e or DB4e ( on the roof ) like I have and enjoy 25+ channels for free in the GTA west areas . I said good bye to Rogers or Bell many years ago and will never go back ... 25 channels and the internet is all I need ....
