As usual the promotional information supplied so far will confuse a lot of people. "omnidirectional" in this case does not mean getting mean getting signals in all directions (the absolute worst type of antenna for television). It means in only two directions (off front and back) which is a good thing, and an improvement over the current antenna.

As for which is better (Winegard IV versus Rayzar Air) I am waiting for more testing.

It looks like the information already has confused some, this antenna IS NOT "omnidirectional" it is BI-DIRECTIONAL.
From Winegards own website.
" The Rayzar Air's multi-directional reception pattern gives it more coverage than the Sensar, which will lead to less tuning required to receive programming. It is also optimized for UHF reception, which a majority of US over-the-air stations are broadcast on."

In its own Ads it is shown as a replacement for the Sensar.


I think in testing The Batwing may still be better for distance,as some have said but for my needs and application this is the best it can get.
Ether way Winegard wins.........:C

People write off VHF in general, and that's simply not the case nationwide. Living in sunny Southern California, you are obviously aware that channels 7, 9, 11, & 13 are alive and well. VHF is far from dead, and in fact it's not CBS, but there is another transmitter up and running on Channel 2 from Mt. Wilson.

Why yes I do know that VHF is alive and well here in Sunny So Cal.

While using my Rayzar here I had no problem getting Channel 7 KABC, Channel 9 KCAL, Channel 11 KTTV and Channel 13 KCOP Along with Channel 5 KTLA On all of these I can watch my local Sports and News.

KTLA is now on UHF 31. And you cant use LA as any kind of reference as how the antenna performs since Wilson is line of sight from almost anywhere being at 5000'+
