1. Be smart and don’t waste money on cable \u00a0The average cable bill is $84\/month. Multiply that by 12 months\/year and you just saved $1000. Whoo-hooo!<\/p>\n

2. Your cable bill will never \u00a0go up because\u2026you don’t have cable. TV is free<\/a>. The way it was meant to be.<\/p>\n

3. OTA (over the air) shows are excellent–there’s fine viewing out there–sitcoms, dramas, crime shows, kids’ programming, local and national news and the venerable 60 Minutes<\/em> is still ticking.<\/p>\n

4. The Super Bowl, the World Series, the Oscars, the Olympics and the Grammys are all OTA.<\/p>\n

5. The Mohu Leaf hanging in your window is a great conversation starter. Surprise and amaze your friends with free TV.
\n
\n6. Fantastic crystal clear 1080 HDTV reception. Better reception than cable provides because the antenna doesn’t compress the TV signal.<\/p>\n

7. The Mohu Leaf and Mohu Curve are completely portable. From room to room, and when you move apartments or houses.<\/p>\n

8. OTA+OTT (An antenna + Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant, etc) = the ULTIMATE viewing experience and you, the cord-cutter, are in control of your content.<\/p>\n

9. Join the revolution. At Mohu we are passionate about our products and customers. We know that cord-cutters are living smarter, saving money and are still getting GREAT TV. Someday your kids or grandkids will look at you oddly and say, “You PAID for TV. Weird. That’s so 2008.”<\/p>\n

10. Bruce Springsteen, aka “The Boss,” said it the best:<\/p>\n

Man came by to hook up my cable TV<\/em><\/a>
\nWe settled in for the night my baby and me<\/em>
\nWe switched ’round and ’round ’til half past dawn<\/em>
\nThere was fifty seven channels and nothin’ on<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
