Somewhere an HOA board member is having seizures over that picture.

And that will work for people for whom the broadcast towers are close enough, there are no interfering natural or man-made obstructions, etc.

But, when the broadcast towers are far away, and maybe not particularly high-powered, there are land features or buildings creating multi-path signals, an adequate selection means towers on bearings roughly 90° apart (see Note below), and other complications, the kind of thing you saw pictured in the OP's OP becomes necessary.

Note: Most non-antenna/-radio people probably don't know this, but, directional antennas nearly invariably have the greatest signal rejection not off the back, but, at 90° to their primary axis. (The stacked UHF bowtie antennas pictured are an exception. Their front-to-back and front-to-side rejection are pretty much the same.)
