which is the better antenna, the omni directional or the directional? which would be better for me at my cabin with no real close cell tower i

In ur case the directional will ge the best. Just make sure that you point it directly at the cell tower.

If you know where the cell tower is and there is not more than one then go with directional if not go with omni

I have a the Leaf and a DB4 antenna in my attic; neither are amplified. The Leaf gets better UHF but the DB4 gets better VHF. For an all-in-one antenna in the attic, I think the DB4 is better.

If you have stations in different directions and wish to get all of them, you will need a rotor as antenna is directional. Would have worked for me but two stations were in line with each other and I had. problem pulling in the CBS station. House has trees around it and I placed the antenna in the attic and I'm in a low area. TV station towers were approx 35 miles away.

Not sure but check your address here http://www.gomohu.com/tv-for-free/ and you should be able to see what stations are within the range of the antenna you purchase. The reason I went with the LAVA OmniPro was due to the multi direction and longest range in class (within a reasonable price). Mines just sitting right outside, not on the roof or in attic so very happy with purchase. Good luck!

I would try it with the omni antenna that comes with the booster. You can always add the directional Wilson later if you need to.

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.

My Cabin is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan my cell did not work there. My cabin is 3000 sq ft. It works up to 100 ft. all a round the outside. The internal antennae is in the middle and the outside antennae is 60 ft by cable length away. Straight line away it's 50 feet. It's also 35 ft. off the ground. On my TV tower. I hope this helps you decide what to do. Ritz

YesANY antenna is far, far better than no antenna at all. And this antenna is a cheapie but it woks well if you experiment with where you place it. Read my above review for more information. Go online and research reviews of FM antennas to find one better than this...the NPR FM antenna advice is best, search on that.Good luck to you. Happy listening.

A couple of questions 1. Do you now have ATT connected inside your house? 2. Do you now have ATT internet connected? 3. Do you have a ATT MicroCell? Your cell phone needs a connection, generally to the nearest cell tower. If you are connected, but have a weak, or no cell phone reception, then you should have a MicroCell. They are generally put in a window to get a clear shot to the sky, but if you don't have open space for the MicroCell to see satellites, it doesn't help you much. Get this antenna, and put it where it has the largest unobstructed view of the sky. Connect it to your MicroCell. It will connect with the satellites and and give you amazing connection. I had 0-1 bars, with the MicroCell, before I got the antenna. Now, I have 5 continuous bars. You will get signal degradation if the satellites are out of orbit to connect you, so you may get signal disruption for 30-60 minutes (randomly)/day. Definitely worth it to get the antenna

It appears to be the label side. When I switch it around my interference increases significantly. And Yes it is definitely directional. Honestly I would only recommend getting one, two barely increased my signal.

This antenna is rated for about 35 miles, I think. It won't even get that, IF you location doesn't face the direction of the towers or has tall bldgs or other things that are in the way. It all depends on environmental conditions, where your tv is, which direction your room faces, and all sorts of things. In my den, which faces south, I use this antenna and get great reception. The towers in my city are SOUTH of my house and are about 25 miles away. But the tv is my bedroom, which faces north and has windows only facing north and east, gets terrible reception. I have to use an amp, and even then, I don't get all the stations that my den tv gets with this antenna without an amp. I'm going to try a stronger amp. But it's my bedroom, secondary tv, so I'm not that concenred about it. I'm just glad my main tv in the den faces the right direction to get good reception.

The Amplified version get better reception. It also allows you to place the antenna on an interior wall if desired.

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.

I'm not an expert but 1st ,did you verify if your switch is on ? then you go on line and find where is the closest tower in your area and with a compass that you can download on your phone you will be able to direct your antenna with the closest tower location that you found on line, example 42 degree North East ect., with your cmpass this is where you would line up the antenna.Hope this help.

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

TP-LINK TL-ANT2408CL 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antenna, 802.11n/b/g, RP-SMA Female connector is a good choice

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
