If I were to get this antenna: http://www.amazon.com/Terrestrial-Di...as+Direct+DB8e I could theoretically get stations pointed in both directions?
As I understand it, you are asking about pointing each panel in a different direction? You can, but the sensitivity of each panel will be less than with both panels pointing the same direction. If you look at the Antennas Direct listing for the antenna, you will find a technical data sheet. https://www.antennasdirect.com/store...V-Antenna.html Reputable antenna companies will typically post specification sheets for their antennas, with some kind of sensitivity rating in dB at the target bandwidth, dimensions, and how narrow the focus of the antenna is.

Now, my intuition says taking the reflectors off and pointing the panels in two directions will work badly. So I'd think you'd want to try it with the panels pointed widely apart, or with the panels in-line and without the reflectors. Maybe ADTech will comment on this.
