DTV Antenna Recommendations

[toxcrusadr]

Well, they have some helpful info on there. Channels 5 and 19 that we're having trouble with are actually both broadcast in UHF. It recommends a "yellow" antenna which is the simplest and smallest UHF type. I would like to find out what one looks like but this appears to be a generic site and doesn't actually show any products.

Anyone have advice on whether a UHF ant. can be mounted with the VHF on the roof and hooked up in parallel into the same cable?

[EDIT: If anyone has suggestions for a DIY antenna site, do tell.]

You cannot just connect the cables from two antennas together. However, a VHF and UHF connected backwards to a UHF/VHF splitter to make a combiner may work OK. That's what I have in my attic.
