The Mohu Leaf 30 OTA (Over The Air) antenna is the one that I own and many of my clients have purchased. It seems that this model is being replaced with the Mohu Leaf 50 Amplified model.
Buy a better quality coaxial cable long enough to reach your window. Use a south or west facing window if possible.
Reception is dependent on building location, apt floor, direction window is facing (commonly south and west is better).
Once to attach it to your coaxial jack on your TV and put the antenna in the best window, run a "channel scan" in the TV setup option.
*** I would recommend buying from Amazon, testing it in your location and then deciding it it is worth it. Amazon will take it back with the packaging in the same condition.
The link below is a list of theoretical available channels (enter your zip code and then click "View Channels")

Smart TV's
Since 2008 all new TV's that receive signals over-the-air (OTA), have been required to include digital ATSC tuners. Note that some very new TV's do not include any tuners so people can not "cut the cord" very easily and the TV will not work without an internet connection. In the TV specs, make it lists an antenna, RF, coax, or cable TV input.
