Those VHF signals are unlikely to make it to his location except by reflection or coincidence. WSET has a 1000' tall mountain in the way just across the valley. The PBS station in Staunton is behind a 1500' chunk of rock. It's Charlottesville DTS transmitter is only 40 watts with a north-facing transmitting antenna.
Reception from Charlottesville is going to be hard enough with its mountainous terrain blocking signals. Stick with the highly directional UHF-only antenna with pre-amp. Either get it above the trees or find a gap to "shoot" through for better odds.
