The business side of the antenna is the side of the antenna that has the V shaped metal receiving elements. The screen part of the antenna is a reflector that reflects signal to the V shaped metal receiving elements. If the side of the screen that has no V shaped metal receiving elements is directed to the tv signal , the signal is reflected away and can not reach the V shaped metal receiving elements.
