While our antennas are multi directional it helps immeasurably to have the flat face of the antenna pointed in the direction of the towers so that the signals have as much surface to "land on", so to speak, as possible. While the sides of our antennas will pull in signals it is a small area for signals to try and "land". Think of an antenna like a tennis racket. You COULD use the sides of the racket to hit the ball, however you would have much more success using the webbing as the designer had intended. Same theory applies to TV antennas.
Many site tools will allow you to enter in your complete address to see a general idea of which way to point your antenna. Always use your complete address so the information is specific to your location. Even a move of a few inches can make a huge difference with TV reception.

Most cellular phones have a compass app to find the exact placement for your Mohu TV antenna.
What is needed when a signal is positioned, and you cannot get the flat face of the antenna pointed in a way that will get all the signals?
Unfortunately, that cannot be done, and this is one downside of using a TV antenna. When all the signals are coming from one direction, except for one signal, we suggest moving the antenna to several different locations until you find the spot that yields the best results for your Mohu TV antenna. In some cases, you may not be able to pull in a signal based on the direction it is coming from. Finding the "sweet spot", or as close to it as possible, is key in obtaining the best reception. ALWAYS remember to run your channel scan every time you move the antenna. Scanning the TV for channels is overlooked in our instructions.
