I have had one of these arrow shaped $40 antennae for HD for about 10
or 15 years. I use it for a forth input or when Comcast takes the day
off. While dusting the other day it fell so that it is sitting on it's
base pointing up instead of pointing in a direction. All stations came
in! No adjustments or twirling just TV goodness from all sides.I know I
wasn't wrong before (it has a base with feet) but what a difference.

It's acting like a coat hanger antenna. I get a useable VHF signal
from a UHF-only antenna aimed in the wrong direction because it's
still a piece of metal stuck up in the air. The signal level
difference is very obvious on a spectrum analyzer, but if the tuner
has enough to decode it looks as good on the screen as a strong
signal.
