Would the antenna you recommended work for channel 12 coming from the opposite direction? The factory specs say 14 thru 69. That's one of the reasons the 4228HD was considered, for it's upper VHF abilities. I don't see much of a design difference between the two so maybe that's just hype from Channel Master.

The example cited has the high-VHF stations arriving from the front and about 20 dB stronger than your channel 12 which is arriving from the back... While I'm sceptical, there's no harm in trying a single antenna solution, you can add a high-VHF antenna later if you decide you need it.

The HDP-269 is a competitor for the CPA-19's business... there is often more than one right way.
