No one has ever said not to use the TV as the last arbiter of pointing. I think one of the points you're missing because you've never had to deal with it is how wide a range of directions a particular antenna sees at one time. People living closer to major markets run into this problem. See the OTA in Hamilton thread for an example.

One more thing and then I'm done. The combination of antennas recommended by GUM turns out to be cheaper with shipping than the HDStacker. In addition, you'll note that the vendor did not compare the separate performance of similar sized UHF-only and VHF-only antennas to the HDStacker. I dare say that the two antennas recommended in this thread will at least match, if not outperform, the HDStacker. We can't tell for sure, because the vendor will not publish antenna gain data.
