Directional antennas work a bit like the reflectors behing the bulbs in flashlights, shaping the beam to go mostly in one direction. You get better performance that way, assuming you can keep the antenna pointing in the right way.
A yogi is a directional antenna.
omni-directional is the opposite of directional. A directional antenna receives or sends more signal from or to the front than the sides or back.
Yes.
The power of the signal, as perceived by the receiver, will be lower with an omnidirectional antenna. This is because the omnidirectional antenna is transmitting in all directions, while the directional antenna is transmitting in only one direction.Think of the directional antenna as a lens, focusing proportionally more power in a smaller space.
A yagi is a directional antenna consisting of two or more dipoles.
No
omnidirectional, directional universal

omni directional antennas
If the TV antenna was built for the correct frequency, it would work but my second thought is do you want the antenna to send a directional signal? I would think a "omni" signal (all direction pattern) would be a better choice. Most TV antennas are directional.
