Default Does it matter if the tv antenna points one way, or 180^ the other?

And isn't the info obsolete because digital transmitters are working
at lower power than analog did?

Thanks a lot.

Depends on the Front to Back ratio. FWIW the antenna should probably
point to the origin of the signal with the shorter elements being the
pointing end. And if you are looking at great distances from the
source you will probably have to tune the antenna by rotating it while
someone observes the picture/TV set.

Many if not most late model digital format TV receivers have a signal
strength indicator available via the menus. This would be very useful, I
would think.
