Default Antenna Orientation Question

Hi,

Figure that if anyone would know, it would be you folks.

Seem to get contradictory results, so I thought I'd ask you experts out
there. For receiving digital TV with a a simple, cheap, R/S indoor rabbit
ear antenna
Works fairly well.

For rabbit ears indoor, what is the theoretical best orientation toward a
single station ?

e.g., a plane encompassing the two ears would best be pointed toward the
station, or the plane
should be perpendicular to the direction of the station ?

b. For the UHF loop:
the plane of the loop of the antenna should be pointed toward the station,
or perpendicular to it ?

I realize it might be hard to visualize the plane that I refer to, but
frankly don't know any other way of
describing orientation.

Perhaps one way would be to say if the rabbit ears are both the exact same
distance to the antenna,
or if they are in a line with one right behind the other ponting to it ?

Would be more or less the same kind of description I guess for the UHF loop
(parallel to the rabbit ears plane, or at 90 deg. to the rabbit ear plane) ?

Perhaps you know of a pix on a website that answers my question by showing a
pix of how it should be pointed ?

Much thanks,
Bob
