It was nearly two years ago that I open up my cable bill and saw that they were going to raise the bill up to nearly $85. a month. The cable company bragged that we were getting nearly 350 channels. Many of those channels were repeats, like channel 120, might be the same as 20, then going to 220, it would be the same again. That was noticed many times by me. In other words, the cable company was trying to pull a fast one.

My wife and I both live on Social Security so saving money is a major issue. I started to check around for other options on what to do to save money. I looked into satellite packages which saved some money, but more channels than we needed. One evening I just happened to pull up the website for one of our local TV stations. It had an article about a company located right here in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The company was MOHU and they manufactured indoor TV antennas. Naturally, my mind flew back to when I was young and remember the rabbit ear TV antennas that left a lot to be desired. I pulled up the website of this company and read about, cutting the cord, as they say. They were saying that you can do away with those monthly cable or satellite TV bills. You could enter your zip code to see how many stations you could receive in your area. It listed around 25 stations and I thought to myself that we have been paying a fortune for cable TV when we could now possibly see TV for free.

Well, it did seem to good to be true. We bought one of the MOHU 30 mile range Leaf Antennas just to give it a try. I figured for about $40. How could we go wrong? If we lost just a few bucks for something that saves us money, why not give it a try. We hooked up the antenna to our TV in the living room. It was so easy to hook up and did a channel search. We got around 25 channels.

We got all of the main stations, ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. We also got some local channels that were great to watch. A couple showed reruns of shows from years ago. My wife and I looked at each other and knew we made the right choice. Why would we continue to pay for 350 channels when we only ever looked at about 15? We got the cable box and the controller and returned it to the cable company the next day. TV was now free, no more cable bills. It would be saving us nearly $1,000. a year. Big savings for two senior citizens.

We liked it so much that we immediately bought one for our TV in the bedroom. In setting up, we moved the antenna to different locations to get the best reception. MOHU has antennas for a 30-mile range, a 50-mile range, and now a 65-mile range. If you live close to a major city like we do this is just the right thing.

There are other manufacturers of similar TV antennas. Check them all out and make the choice that is best for you. Many people do not know that they can do away with the high prices of TV service. Yes, the mileage is a factor, but if you live close to a large city, check it out. We are so pleased that we went with the MOHU antenna. The MOHU antenna about the size of an 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper. It is white on one side and black on the other. It can be placed behind photos to hide it from view.

On the MOHU website it says that 94 of the top 100 watched shows are available over-the-air in stunning 1080 high definition and are absolutely free when you receive them with a MOHU antenna.

The website for the MOHU antenna is: www.gomohu.com
