How directional is the receiver? Does it work well at angles or do you have to be pretty much in front of it?

It mounts on the TV so you are going to be in front of it for the most part. Angles work too.

It works fairly stable from a 50-foot or so distance running from the basement of my home, to the floor above. Considering it's a signal traveling through all that wood and carpet, I'm tempted to say it's a pretty powerful receiver.

Placed on the side should not be a problem, but you do need to get most of the antenna above the roof line for optimum performance.

Yeah. So far it has been a great receiver. Antenna is very short and out of the way. Car runs great with it.

Ours does. It works better if the transmitter and receiver are arranged in line-of-sight. We have issues when someone stands in between them.

As long as you have an active receiver and the dish is pointed in the right direction it should work.

The speaker is at an angle in the housing, you need to get a side or 360 degree look to see if the angle is ok for you....

yes with carefull aiming as long as 1. It is high enough. 2. It has clear line of sight to the receiver, and you have one at both ends and 1 is set up as an access point and the other is set up as a server.

It works well. Just make sure the sensor is facing the direction you want it to.

Not directly in front, but far enough that I've never had a problem with the sound pick-up. Have been using one for a long time and don't have any complaints about it.

Mine is probably 40-50 yards away. I'm sure it will do much more than that with the right placement of the receiver. It has always worked great

No. It has to be pointed towards the sky. You need a sloped window or else reception will be spotty at best.

Power is 110. As for in front of each other, to my knowledge they don't have a front and rear except the camera and naturally it would have to be aimed where you would want to be able to see the area. The antenna pick the signal up and they are 360 degree in any direction.

I have the mast pointed to our local antenna array here, but I've read reviews of folks mounting the antenna to an actuator that rotates it based on what channel you want to watch.That being said, because this thing is so large and the design, if you mount it high enough, I'm assuming it will pick up signals all around it- it's not likely to be significantly better or worse depending on which way it is facing, it's more about how high it's mounted and how many obstructions are in the way or how much interference is in your area.

I live between to major cities that broadcast. I have it pointed in the direction of the closest city. It picks up well, but I also have an amp on it because of my cable run. I can pick up the other city to the back side of the antenna as well but not as strong. If I turn it to face the other city it does have better gain. The 2 cities signals are basically the same distance apart, within 5 miles. It is sort of multi-directional, but it does have a weaker side of reception if you are between 2 cities. I just pointed it in the direction of the signal and that was it. You really shouldn't have to move it if your broadcast towers are in the same relative area. So, I guess in that respect you could say it is multi-directional.

I have one of these in use now for about two years. You can have bushes, etc in the way. Ours is mounted 450 up our driveway, and our "receiver" module is inside the house, by a book stand. Definitely, the more stuff you have in its way ADDING also a lot of distance, and you won't get what you want. But, I most certainly got what I paid for. It's a bargain and a very reliable unit!

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.
