There are many “batwing” style antennas, now being installed, that are indeed omnidirectional. They are cheap junk made to look like a real antenna. Even some of the highest priced trailers are pulling this trick.
Correction ... there are many batwing style antennas that claim to be omni directional, thereby suggesting they're equally sensitive in all planes and therefore don't have to be rotated, but in fact they're not. I've got this exact model currently sitting in my master bedroom and I can assure you that rotating it does significantly impact it's ability to receive signals. I use it during the winter to feed OTA to the trailer television which I remove for the winter and use in the house. Omni it's not, no matter what the manufacturer may claim. ;)
