I'm actually combining two Antennas Direct antennas (a C2 and a C2V) pointed about 70° apart with excellent results. The VHF element is meaningless as all the stations I receive are UHF here. The two antennas are about six feet apart. It's worked really well for me, as in producing MUCH better results that a DB8e I had here. I can't explain why it works. It just does.
The disclaimer, of course, is that this was an experiment using antennas I had on hand. I would never have gone out and planned this configuration. I was at my wits end with the DB8e and decided to try whatever I could with what was in the house. I lucked into this configuration. As ADTech points out, you have no way of knowing if combining antennas will enhance signals or the two will have a canceling effect on one another. In my case it enhanced 8 out of nine stations and added a tenth. I receive a total of 33 channels of programming this way.
