Mohu's Airwave promises the best of over-the-air and streaming TV

Mohu is probably best known for its Leaf over-the-air (OTA) antenna, but that isn’t the only product the company has under its belt. Last year, the company launched a product by the name of Channels, which aimed to combine OTA and over-the-top (OTT) streaming content in one device, but it didn’t quite succeed. Now the company is taking a different approach with the Mohu Airwave, which turns OTA channels into streaming video that can be played on the device of your choosing.

“At Mohu, our mission is to continue evolving and improving the cord cutting viewing process for consumers,” Mohu CEO and founder Mark Buff said in a statement. “Watching TV should be a personalized experience for every viewer, and we know consumers have a lot of options and preferences about how they view TV without cable. In order to simplify the viewing process for consumers, we’ve created a product that not only gives open access to OTA content, but also integrates and organizes OTT streaming video through a seamless all-in-one interface.”

The Airwave is a stand-alone device that takes OTA signals and via the Mohu TV app — available on a number of devices — allows you to view them on any compatible device, from your TV to your computer or mobile device. All the information you need, like program descriptions and up to 14 days of upcoming content, is on display, and you can even select favorite channels, just as you would on a TV or DVR. The app even uses Mohu’s ClearPix pixelation reduction technology for the clearest possible picture.

The Mohu TV app is available on the web, iOS, and Android devices, as well as streaming hardware to hook up to your TV. Supported hardware includes the entire Roku lineup from Express to Ultra, the current generation Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, and Chromecast.

“We are at the crest of the cord cutting revolution,” Buff said. “Pay TV is broken. AirWave is our attempt to reinvent the TV viewing experience by offering consumers flexibility, convenience, and choice. With Free TV Everywhere, you can watch what you want, how you want, and with no monthly fees.”

Pricing and release information currently isn’t available, but Mohu is showing off the new Airwave at CES. For more information, see the Mohu website.

Our favorite budget ANC headphones just got even more affordable
Side view of the 1More SonoFlow.

Whether you're wanting to start studying a language, determine if now is the right time to start that business, or just want to finish the chapter in whatever book your eReader is holding, silence is power. ANC, or Active Noise Cancelation, can help you get it. Even without music pumping into your ears the headphones pick up the surrounding sounds in your area and feed you the opposite waves, canceling out the noise.

But the best noise-canceling headphones are typically quite expensive, with premium pairs easily costing $250 or more. If you need some bonus focus but don't have that kind of money lying around for headphones, you'll need to browse through budget headphones instead. Unfortunately, the Venn diagram that cross budget and quality ANC is incredibly narrow, leaving you few choices. One of choices, and our favorite among budget picks, is even more of a clear pick today — it's on sale. Tap the button below to see the 1More SonoFlow at a price of just $60, which is $15 down from their usual $75, or keep reading to see why we think they're the budget ANC headphones for you.

You can save thousands on our favorite 8K TV right now, but there aren’t many left

If you've ever wanted an 8K TV, now is the time. At the very top of our list of the best 8K TVs sits the Samsung QN900D 8K QLED. It's an expensive TV, but right now we're seeing both its 75-inch and 85-inch variations have a huge sale. The 75-inch version is $1,700 off, bringing it to $4,298 from $5,998, and the 85-inch version is $2,200 off, bringing it from $7,498 to $5,298. Unfortunately, the stock is actually dwindling quite quickly, and I'm seeing fewer TVs available now compared to when I first found the deal last night. As I write there are only 7 of the 75-inch and 13 of the 85-inch TVs remaining on sale. So, if you want this TV, you should legitimately hurry up and get it now — this 8K TV deal probably won't last the weekend.
