I can't predict which antenna combination would work best with your terrain. I can predict that trying to combine them into a single feed will be hard and/or expensive. That's why the suggestion to use the dual inputs of your HD Homerun, one for each of two antennas aimed in different directions.

again, thanks for all the suggestions. The VHF channel at 73(channel 11 vhf) isn't important to me, so I can just focus on the 279 and one vhf antenna. As for the uhf, abc/nbc/cbs are pretty much at 66/67. So I'll do like you said and get a stronger uhf, but point it around 66/67? I really don't care about the other channels. And channel 11, the other vhf channel, comes in pretty easy no matter what I do. Before I run another cable, I think I'll just hook up the vhf antenna by itself and point it at 279 to make sure it will work before I run an extra cable. Any suggestions on a vhf only antenna? I saw this one at RS for $26 shipped, seems to have good reviews and is only a vhf antenna. Antennacraft Y5713 also, would it be a possibility to use a channel 13 join-tenna to combine both antennas?
