Multiple azimuths - best way pick up stations?

First off, this site is great. Thank you!

My question is: can I connect two antennas together if they point in different directions?

Looking at the TV Signal Analysis Results, you can see that the stations in my area come are mostly grouped in three directions - north, east, and south.

When I bought the house, it came with a nice tall mast with two bow-tie antennas on it. I have hooked one of them to my TV (the one that points north). I do get several usable signals from the south, but from the east, the signal breaks up a lot.

Is there a way for me to connect the second bow-tie antenna to the TV (or the first antenna) so that the signals from the east are stronger?

I don't know much about antennas, and wonder if combining the two signals helps or hurts. I would expect that if both bow-ties pointed in the same direction, it would help. But I wonder if pointing them in different directions would cause the same sort of trouble that multiple paths cause.

Thanks!
