hi all we are thinking well oh is of having one of those new directionalstatus ariels fitted to our van i know the old ones arent worth the battery power they use but my question is are these seen many of them and all look like there pointing the same way but do they work thanks!!!
Yes they work extremely well, far far better than the round Status.
However in this period with the transition over to digital any aerial will struggle in some locations. Hopefully after switch over many of these locations will be better served.
If a half decent signal is available where you pitch the 530 will give you a good picture.

yes they are very good and work well from information i have,but as for all pointing the same way this true but a lot do not know there are two ways it can be used.for a main aerial mast like winter hill the position is horizontal,(no comments please) for sub station mast the position for the aerial is vertical.more info here.
they seem awfy expensive when an ordinary aerial on a big pole does the same job and is a lot cheaper, okay takes 5 minutes to set up but each to their own
They are great, i took us a year to find out that the metal prongs on the side pull out then had great reception. make sure though you can get to it to pull them out.....
