Mohu Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna

I bought one of these when the DW and I dropped cable at the house. I tried the Leaf antenna in a back bedroom but no matter how I placed it, I had trouble with a few channels (we are about 20-25 miles from most Kansas City stations). I moved the Leaf to our living room and placed it high (and flat) on our entertainment center and those same channels do much better. I agree with Gdetrailer, an amplified indoor or ultimately and outdoor antenna is a better option.
