multi directional does that mean you don't have to keep moving antenna to find channels

Hello, I have had my antenna for about a year and a half, I live a long way from where the station signals come from and in a very high wind area, So far I have NOT had to turn my antenna at all. This is a great purchase! ( No I do not have to move the antenna ) Hope this helps! Have a great day!

We have it stationary in the attic. Positioned it once to get one clear channel and have never had to touch it again. Pictures are better than cable.

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.

You do have to move it around the first time to set the antenna but not after you set it. It's multidirectional but I believe it really is only strong from one side.

Yes. When I first got it I wanted to test it out before I committed to a roof install. I put it into the loft area of my house and it picked up a few channels. It worked a lot better when I put it outside (since the higher the better). Note it still requires some tweaking as it isn't perfectly omnidirectional.

If you have a big attic you can but most probably you will have to assemble it in the attic. My antenna seems very directional; that is, it will pick up stations only from the direction it is pointing. So unless you have plenty of room to move the antenna around in the attic to find the stations you want, you may be saying a lot of four letter words.

Radio transmitters are Vertical, Mounting the antenna horizontally would result in a loss of signal strength at the antenna. But it would work to some degree.

Its actually two directional antenna in one, making it multi directional, but its very powerful, I pick up Boston and Fall River Mass. channels, but I live in southeastern ct

I also rotated my Mohu 90 degrees and was able to pick up 7 more digital channels from the same spot in a corner. Thanks for the tips!

Yes, it will allow your daughter who lives next door to have a good connection; be sure to aim the antenna in the right direction or your daughter will not get a strong signal; Important, this is a directional antenna; it must be aim in the right direction.This is NOT a bidirectional antenna, I repeat, ok? Any other technical question i will be happy to help you.

No it must be rotated to receive the best signal. I would not buy it it did not work as good as my original Winegard antenna so I sent mine back.

I had to use a directional antenna to get my local channels. I live 15 miles from the TV tower. I never used this TV on cable.

the antenna does not have channels... it only gathers signals from available sources for the converter box to work with... it may allow the converter box to lock on to more channels if they are available - maybe better signal strength than rabbit ears... i have found out that mine is directional... pointing one way {say north-south} i get X channels with signals and i can lock on Y of them... point {east-west} get some of the some of the same channels and can lock onto others that were not clear on the [north-south] setting... also changing from flat to verticle makes a difference in signal strength.... i live in indianapolis not far from the transmitting towers and still have the directional issue... hope this helps

In my opinion, my through put data rate runs at its best with this 7 dbi antenna. My antenna runs fine for any video streaming, assuming your ISP provides you with a fast enough speed to stream the video. This 7 dbi antenna is directional, meaning you can swivel it to the direction of your router to receive the signal directly instead of your current standard omnidirectional antenna that has a lower range. I recommend this 7 dbi over the standard one.

If you have only one tower to worry about, it may be overkill. If you were trying to pick up a number of stations/towers, in different directions, an amp may boost the signal of each so that you can pick them all up without moving the antenna. And, no, I don't think you can have too much range.

As far as 3 different channels, no. You can have 2 on the same channel and one on another.

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.

Yes. An Antenna is required to bring in the signal. Depending one many factors you will get a few to a large number for channels. Most are just looking for the major networks. This model is known for having a loud fan and over heating issues. The company has done a few improvements to help but most say issues persist. It's an interesting concept but my family found it wasn't ready to be a cable replacement yet.

Depends on your location and elevation. I live in a top of hill, I can pick up as many as 38 digital channels and 3 analog channels, in which many channels are the same NBC, ABC, CBS, PBC, but in different local stations. The digital signals are pretty good, because, I placed the antenna in attic. The analog signals are really bad. I just used skip function of the TV set to get rid of them. After a few month using, the rotation functions of my antenna is out. I have to find right direction by hand and let the antenna stay in one direction.

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