Combining antennas for better reception

[K4DSP]

What do you do when you want to receive OTA (over-the-air) HDTV signals from two different directions but your setup makes a rotator impractical? I've created a short video which describes combining two antennas into one feedline to solve this problem, and also explains the problems people sometimes face when trying to receive OTA broadcasts.

It's important to note that this doesn't always make things better, but a number of people have found it helpful.
