Hopefully the channels in between would be partly covered by both panels, and the whole range would be covered.

Hey Tim,
This is a possibility for me too. Here in CT, Stephanie told me the DB8 would be
a good choice for my situation since I'm in the sticks. Most of my stations are in
Hartford BUT I want one, MeTV, also UHF, which needs to be pointed SW from
my position. I'm guessing that getting the DB8e will give me the abilities of the
DB8
and the ability to aim for MeTV to the south, right?
Originally I wanted to get all the UHF from Hartford on the DB8 and ABC from
New Haven on the AntennaCraft Y6713 but was willing to sacrifice ABC to get
MeTV. If I get the DB8e, while more expensive, I'm guessing I should get all
the UHF channels I seek and ABC with the second AntennaCraft antenna.
