I recommend the HD1200 antenna to start with.

The HD1200 is Designed to receive , UHF channels 14 thru 51 and VHF high band channels 7 thru 13.

It will receive the weaker Chicago Tv stations at the front of the antenna and the stronger Milwaukee Tv stations at the back angle to the antenna.

-----------

The DB8e is a real fine antenna , and does a real good job of receiving the UHF Tv channels 14 thru 51.

However it is not designed to receive the VHF high band channels 7 thru 13 very well.

Yes it is true that the DB8e will receive the VHF high band channels if the signal strengths are strong.

However weaker signal strength VHF high band channels will most likely not be received.

-----------

The DB8e is also a Very Directional antenna with both panels aimed one direction.

The DB8e antenna has 2 antenna reception panles that can be aimed different directions.

When the panels are aimed different directions then the gain of that antenna panel is what it can receive buy its self.

When one panel is aimed in Completely Different Direction then the other panel then each panel will receive what it can without the added gain of the other panel.

What this is leading to is.

What direction or directions are the panels aimed and the Real Important Question is.

What Chicago and Milwaukee stations are being received.

And if one were to say , the neighbor has the XYZ antenna and gets 'All the channels'!!

Then I think and say , all of what channels??

---------

Your reception location and your neighbors reception is/are not a ideal reception location.

Weak Tv signals and Edge Path obstructions.

---------

The Truth is.

The reception location will require Testing of reception if the 'aim' is to receive many reliably received channels.

I have done my best to provide practical and useful information for reliable reception with a 2 separate antenna system.
The 2 separate antenna system will provide the best reception.

And 1 antenna system.

As always it is your choice to install the antenna and antennas that you decide.

As often happens antenna/s are installed and as time goes by it is discovered that more channels can be received with a different better antenna/s.

It is Ok , we are working with antennas , it is not the end of the world situation.

So their you have it , The Truth. The Truth is a Rare Animal these days.
