The Digiwave should outperform the UHF capability of the ANT-751. Given your willingness to use a switch, yes, multiple antennas may well offer access to some of the weak signals that a single fixed aim antenna would miss.

The only possible 'down-side' I can think of is that some TVs lack the ability to 'Add-Scan'... if that's true in you case, you may find yourself needing to do a full rescan to take full advantage of an antenna when you switch to it. Our primary TV does have the ability to scan to learn new channels without forgetting existing channels... one of the bedroom TVs is not so well designed and will forget past scans each time it's told to scan for new channels.

The ANT-751 and the Digiwave should be 'OK' mounted on a 6' pole/mast. You want no less than 3' separation... more is better.
