Trying to understand Antenna Specs.

On a previous post (wasn't sure if I should have put this on that thread or a new one) I was asking for recommendations and received a few. I began my research by downloading product information on Winegard antenna's. Not being electronic savvy (as to the laws and formulas), I was trying to understand the chart that shows GAIN, Channels.

sample - http://www.winegard.com/kbase/upload/HD7084P.pdf

I am not sure what it meant on the following values:

dB over reference dipole
beamwidth at half power points
Front to back ratio
Are more elements better

If I am looking at Multiple antenna's do these numbers matter in making a decision? If so, what should I be looking at.
