A Leaf will not pick up that signal. I’ve found a couple of Me shows on Hulu, in fact BEFORE Me came on line in my area…Emergency! being the Holy Grail….love that show.

How amazing is this? When I was a kid, we watched in anticipation as the local cable company ran the cable lines down out street. Couldn’t wait to get cable…which gave us in Philly WOR and WPIX out of New York, plus HBO and PRISM. The old Jerrold box with a 30 channel capacity. Soon we had SPN, USA and WTBS. Couldn’t wait! Now we can’t wait to get rid of it.

I checked out MeTV and it looks like they have a section of their website that allows you to search for stations near you: http://metvnetwork.com/wherewatch.php I am guessing you have already done this. But if not, you could combine this info with what you find at antennaweb to see if an antenna would provide a decent signal. But like you said, chances are that the signal is too far away. Only thing i will note is that you can probably find most of the shows that you watch on MeTV, through other means: Hulu, Netflix, etc. For example i looked up I dream of Jeannie on TV.com and found that there are a ton of free episodes offered on Hulu: http://www.tv.com/shows/i-dream-of-jeannie/watch/ So if you could fill in a playlist of shows using other video streaming services – then bam – problem solved. I hope this helps, and I appreciate all your comments Rick. Best of Luck!

Thinking about getting this, but I fear I will lose some of the cable “must carries”, stations that are in Allentown, PA and Atlantic City, N.J. whose FCC license allows them to be a “Philadelphia” TV station. The one I fear losing the most is MeTV. Love it and I don’t think there is an antenna out there that is going to pull a signal from Allentown (75 miles from me).

-There are more local channels than the cable company gives you. I get 5 different PBSs, and each local network affiliate has an extra channel.
-The weather affects the performance.
-After reading pages and pages of online reviews, I realized your reception depends on the part of the house you put the antenna, and your location. That is, your mileage may vary. GREATLY.
-It’s not perfect. I get sometimes great reception of my local network channels, and other times, nothing. And everything in between, sometimes it’s just a hiccup during a show.
-It will pay for itself if you cancel cable.
-It’s not the complete solution for cutting the cord. But it’s part of the solution. The leaf+streaming media device+Netflix/hulu+/Crackle will give you more TV than you can watch.

The formula I think makes the most sense is: indoor antenna + video streamer + video streaming services (netflix, hulu, vudu, etc..) + full episode websites (http://www.killthecablebill.com/tv-channels/ ) = HUGE SAVINGS

Additionally you can look at the rave reviews on Amazon. There is a reason the Mohu Leaf is the number one selling Indoor Antenna.
