We recommend the C2V because it has VHF support out of the box. If the Db2e had the dipole in the box, I'd certainly recommend it also. I'd give the DB2e another go first. It's stronger on UHF and, if needed for KGO or KNTV, the C2V's VHF kit can be added with a bit of work.
Look for a location that gives the best possible view back towards San Francisco and temporarily mount the antenna there to evaluate reception. Aim it northwest for initial testing. You have a few stations that transmit from the northeast including KGO's UHF translator, so it may be desirable or even necessary to cheat the aim eastward to see if you can also snag those broadcasts without compromising reception from San Francisco's towers.
In the event that you find reception is very weak and you have ensured a good coax cable is in use and you haven't placed the antenna behind common obstacles such as buildings or trees, then a possibility exists that the circuit board to which the coax attaches has been damaged in shipping, assembly, or installation. It's simple to replace and we can mail you one if it is deemed to be needed.
Let us know how it tests out and we can make any necessary adjustments.
