Is this a multi-directional antenna or do you have to point it in a general direction?

I would say you have to point it in a "general" direction. I'm in the middle of the city and I get amazing signal with this antenna just installed in the attic pointing north. (Just because the wood in the attic made the antenna point in that direction when I installed it)

It's not "omni-directional" With HDTV you only need to point in a general direction. If Winegard wants to know how to make it "Omni directional", they should ask me to design it. John A. Lamantia (Warwick TV Service)

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

its a multi-directional antenna. Ours points to the South which is where the channels are seen better. Its a great buy, we love it. It also picks up a lot of channels.

They recommend pointing towards the towers. I have had it in different positions and did a channel scan and did not notice a difference. I have noticed the higher it is placed the better. I get 47 channels on the main level of my house and 74 channels on the upper level. I'm going to put it in my attic.

point at a tv station tower no more than 10 miles away or city living. range is limited.

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, Yes you can. You'll just need to point the internal antenna towards where the unit will be placed. If you have any other questions, just let us know. Have a blessed day, Mark

This is a directional antenna of about 60 degrees only. It has a range of about 300 feet range. Does this help?

Yes, it does. But you can try to adjust it for a stronger reception. Sometimes it works better horizontally, when you point it toward the desired station.

It is Omni-directional however works off of your Wireless Internet that is in your home. You may have to find a good spot in your home that has a good signal. Example: If your you have a 2 story home and your Wireless Internet has a strong signal upstairs but weak downstairs...you probably will have to operate it upstairs. Radio works very well but you need a good Wireless Signal. I believe you can also directly connect to your Internet with a cable, and bypass the wireless feature.

It will be directional. Mounting it vertically would make it more omni-directional. Normally these antennas are rated for about 50 Watts but each brand has its own limits. It seems like 20 and under would be fine. VSWR should be considered; and it's a bit long for the FM broadcast band.

Not sure that's a relevant question, but I'll try to answer by giving information. It's the highest gain antenna I found, useful for receiving signal outdoors (house to house) rather than indoor. It is directional so it needs to be pointed in the general direction of the other antenna. The reception is noticeably stronger than my 9dbi antenna once pointed correctly so I would say it definitely does its job.For performance issues you may need to troubleshoot the internet connection, network cards, cables or the router. It's unlikely to be the antenna.

I also forget to mention that I spent a lot of time making sure that the antenna was pointed in the correct direction. This required finding my map location relative to the TV stations and then using a compass to point the antenna correctly at them. Remember that long range antennas have high gain, but are also VERY directional. That means that pointing them correctly is more important than for lower gain antennas and certainly compared to omnidirectional antennas.

All it does is combine antennas. That looks like a omni directional antenna. It looks like the two antennas would fight the signal from each other. But it combines any antenna you want to.

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.

Is this the same as asking if it is bi-directional. I am wondering the same thing. Will check the other product mentioned by Daniel. Thanks!

I do not know what the antenna would do given your situation but it is very directional and really needs to have signal amplifier inline.

supposed to point the side that sais alfa towards the direction of the signal.....this one works better than the standard 5 dbi and 9 dbi...i havent tride all their product yet tho go to www.alfa.com.tw

The antenna is mildly directional. I currently use two receivers, one on the first floor (kitchen) and one on the second floor (bedroom). The transmitting antenna is on the 2nd floor, in a different bedroom. In my situation, both receivers are on a similar azimuth angle so I can adequately receive at both locations without re-aligning the antenna, by simply "pointing" between the two receivers. If your situation is very different from this, then I wouldn't expect it to work very well, unless one of the receivers is very close. At closer distances, the antenna pointing is less critical.

It all depends on what you use for an antenna and signal strengh. Roof mounted directional: superb!Indoor antenna depends on your location and orientation. You will need to experiment looking for best spot. Good luck!Victor

No. It is not designed to be multidirectional. However, It does pick up closer stations despite not being aimed at them.

If there are only two contacts then you can only hook up two antenna ; any two will do has they can be positioned 360 degrees and centered or offcentered.
