Is this omnidirectional? Or will I have to place it pointed at certain areas? My tv signals come from several directions.

There was nothing stating that this is omnidirectional. I do know from experience that you need to have a decent line of site to your closest transponders. I live in a bad reception area due to being in a bottom floor apt in a heavily wooded area and hoped this would give me better reception than my old rabbit ear antenna. It actually did not do as well.

It is not omni-directional. I don't know the beam pattern but it is best aimed at the broadcast antenna.

It is very directional, which helps by sending most of the signal where ever it is pointed at. teamed up with the Amped wireless high power router, able to point at my other building for good signal 100 ft and inside the building another 30 ft.

As long as you know the elevation and azimuth of the satellite and have a comppass, the Magic system will help you point the dish at the satellite close enough to get a signal. Once there, you may need to move the dish side-to-side and/or up or down a few degrees to fine tune your reception. My cable box has a built-in feature that helps me do this. If you are a DirectTV customer, go to http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/customer/dishPointer.jsp, type in the zip code of your location and it will tell you the elevation and azimuth to use. Other providers probably provide similar sites.

I use it to go RCA to COAX. Directv client can deliver out via RCA and I have coax throughout my house, so I run that signal to two other televisions via the coax. I don't know why it wouldn't go the other way around as indicated in the above post. I thought it was directionally unbiased, but I guess not.

It pretty much covers 360 degrees from my experience. Even when I'm in my kitchen (it's by the front door) it barks from movement. It you only want it to work facing one direction, you'd need to put something around the area where you don't want it to respond to make it directional.

I originally used the omnidirectional antenna. Yuck. This directional antenna improved the signal strength by at least 4X.

It is multidirectional, but works best pointed in a particular direction. The instructions come with a website to help find the best direction

Direction of signal pass doesn't matter. Will it work with HDTV antenna? I'm not sure. Suggest that you try one to see. If it's lighting hits you're worried about this device alone won't help. To deal with lightning you MUST have a good grounding system.

You can if you hook it up to your tv the right way-it will tell you how in the directions

No, this one is not Omni-directional. This outdoor antenna is Omni-directional http://www.amazon.com/1byone%C2%AE-Omni-directional-Amplified-Outdoor-Antenna/dp/B00F9SXJPG/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1431920199&sr=8-20&keywords=Outdoor+antenna

The antenna IS NOT directional like an old roof top TV antenna. The antenna is just 3 OR 4 inches long and I have it standing straight up. Though, I suppose it could remain in the horizontal position. Bottom line -- if your WIFI signal is reasonably strong you should get reception. Remember, the signal is digital. So you will either get reception or not. There is no "in between". I just bought my second TTR1 a week ago. Good product for $50.00. Enjoy! Cal.

I have made my TV perpendicular to the wall when it's up. However you can adjusted the angle when you pull the TV down it has three different setting, as far as I can tell

at antennaweb (org) I determined I needed a small multi-directional antenna. I got this with my dvr+ and tried it inside and it worked for most of the channels but then I placed it outside under the eave (8' away) and have rarely had a problem. you can also read about antennas at the fcc (gov) site.

My antenna gets signals from a station that is north of us just as well as it receives signals from the south. The station to the north is closer though... As far as re-configuring it, I have no experience with this.

It works 360°! This trigger is based on radio frequency, so unless there is a significant obstruction, you can trigger it from every direction.

I would say it is multidirectional as the rotor moves and the higher you mount it the more channels you receive.

It is absolutely very directional. It is very good at showing drivers directly behind you your position. Most drivers are in this position, but the ones even more likely to hit you are coming around corners and at different angles. For that reason, I double up with this plus the light and motion vis 180 and get the best of both worlds. (that tail light shoots light in every direction.)
