Default Want to replace old flat tv cable with better coax.

Ok, so is it possible to have both my current antenna pointed in one
direction (minus the UHF section) and use this new antenna pointed in a
different direction? Then just combine the signal? This would give me
the best of both world w/o the need for a rotor.


Sure. Back in the dark ages, when the UHF channels went up to Channel
83, TV sets didn't have a combined antenna input, instead they had
two (usually 300 ohm) inputs, one for each band. To save cable,
VHF/UHF splitter/combiners were used if you had an all band antenna.
They're bidirectional, the same unit can be used either way. So you
can run two antennas into the one cable.
