    We had omni on our old van, directional on our new van. In strong signal areas it does not make much difference. However, in medium to poor areas directional is 100% better. Now everything is digital and signals are either there or random pixels, it is the
    difference between being able to watch the TV, or find a DVD.

    A  good  directional  is  always  going  to  be  preferrable,  unless  you  go  the  satellite  route .

    Directional and don't forget you can get a free App to tell you the direction of the strongest signal.
