When we say point it up a bit we mean quite literally a bit. As in just a few degrees.
An antenna that is directional is directional in
ALL directions. Left, right
AND up, down. most are more narrow in the vertical than horizontal directions and
require some up/down fine tuning.
If you aim that really expensive, highest gain that money can buy, directional antenna at the base of a nearby hill you aren't going to get squat. Tilt it up at the top, or just over the top of the hill and you might be surprised at the increase in reception.
You aim at the direction the signal is coming from, it just might be coming down at you a bit. It won't go through solid objects, but it often will go over or around it.
