It includes a VHF (real channels 7-13) duplexer that'll be right what the doctor ordered on KNTV and KGO.

Good luck!
Hi - thanks for the suggestion! Does the RCA ANT751 not diplex VHF and UHF? I mean it lists it as being designed for both ("Supports all digital and analog TV frequencies including VHF, UHF and 1080 signals" (whatever 1080 means in that context)) - so my assumption is that it would do that - but maybe I'm missing something?

It looks like the proper part number for the Clearstream antenna is the "C2-V-CJM" - is that right? They seem to be way cheaper elsewhere - $75ish on Ebay new, and less used.

Is there any sense in getting an amplified antenna? (or an inline amplifier) I mean, my understanding is that the higher the range of an antenna, the more directional it is, unless you have an amplifier. So this antenna makes me nervous since it is longer range than the RCA antenna...

Also - does it make sense that my TV cannot even tune to 11-1 (KNTV-DT's virtual channel). It can, however, tune to channel 12 (the real channel for KNTV-DT) but shows no signal. Maybe my TV uses the real channel numbers for VHF but virtual for UHF? I tried going to a couple UHF real channels but my TV refused, but was happy to go to their virtual channels.
