I had a clearstream 1...got UHF..no VHF....tried a clearstream 2, and now have hooked up a clearstream 4...still no go. Do these only get UHF?
That's correct, those are all UHF antennas.

There is a new offering by Antennas Direct, the C2v which adds a VHF element. The price is significantly higher than a basic set of rabbit ears such as the RCA ANT-111. I would expect about the same VHF performance from the two. However, I'm not throwing the C2v all the way 'under the bus', it's UHF performance will be better than the rabbit ears and it is an outdoor design.

Still, if there is a way you could mount the ANT-751 and aim (point) it toward the ENE, you'll get better VHF performance than either the C2v or ANT-111.
