That type of antenna array isn't going to be very efficient if you're trying to receive a station on a VHF channel (ch. 2-13).

For analog signals, this wouldn't work on channels 2-13, except this is for DTV, in which all channels are now in the UHF range. The VHF is supposed to be empty for reassigning to new uses.
