PBS out of IA would probably require the addition of a high-gain UHF antenna.

Thanks - you have been super helpful (as well as the others here).
Quick question - forgive my ignorance, but what is the reason that the ClearStream 5 would be preferable over the 4v? Due to the foliage or is there anything reason i'm missing?
Just trying to learn something since i'm probably going to try to get my mom setup at some point and she is in potentially a worse area than myself.
Edit: Also, I am confused - the ClearStream 5 appears to be listed as a VHF Antenna - would i need to couple this with a UHF antenna for the local channels - they are listed as UHF and i honestly don't know what that means completely.
