The C5 comes with a combiner the combines the DB4e and the C5 antennas.

The preamp is connected to the output of the combiner.

1. Is there a particular reason for choosing DB4e over a C4? I want to color to be black to match the roof. Our neighbors and HOA are very picky.
   
2. When you use a AntennasDirect VHF/UHF combiner does one lose all the UHF signals coming from a C5? Obviously the UHF stations pointed in the right direction of C5 will have better signals than a DB4e at an angle to the tower. Can you please explain what goes on in such situations?
   
3. Is it more appropriate to use a TV antenna coupler? (e.g. Winegard CC-7870 2-Way TV Antenna Joiner Coupler)
