are any of the DB8 build it yourself antenna's worth building?

Hi Since I watch almost all UHF channels I've been looking at some of the build it yourself DB8 antennas. There are few VHF channels I would watch. I have a manual rotor and prefer a directional UHF antenna so I can get the best signal possible and am not worried about having to turn the antenna. Here is my map. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...5b94b394aad69a The best do it yourself antenna so far to me, is when you make two DB4 antennas and either stack them one above the other or mount them side by side to make a DB8 antenna, hopefully with a reflector on the back side. KInda thinking of making a stacked version. I like the version on youtube titled [ Better HDTV Antenna] or he has one titled [Better Outside HDTV Antenna]. His type of antenna is made with pvc pipe so the cost is less but you can still make a pretty big antenna. Has anyone tried to make a antenna like this? How well do you think it would work for me? I do have lot of adjacent channel warnings. anyway I'd be glad of any advice I could get on this even if it's just to go with a a normal antenna. Thanks Tim
