For Cleveland's Fox and CBS stations, you need a VHF antenna (ixnay on the 4228), so Tower Guy's recommendation holds. You might also consider an AntennaCraft HBU-33. The CM 4221 will be plenty of antenna for the Youngstown stations, all of which are on UHF. Combining the two antennas is usually not recommended, as it is difficult to avoid unintended cancellations between them. However, since the two directions are almost exactly 90 degrees apart (implying that very little signal from direction 1 will be present in antenna 2 and vice-versa), you could experiment by trying it.
No matter, you will end up with much more reliable reception than with the Philips antenna.
