Is it possible to combine two distinct antenna feeds? By that I mean, all my hd sans one come from one direction, the other one is 50 degrees off, so currently I get the majority but not that one......could I have two antennas to capture both signals?

This is kind of tricky as RF reaching one antenna could reach the other out of phase and reduce the signal. If you had a pair of matched antennas pointing the same direction, you would get much more gain. I added a wingard HD9095P UHF 4 feet above a winegard HD8200P combo and used a UHV/VHF combiner. I found that I had to unwire the UHF section of the combo antenna (eventhough it was conneted to the VHF input) to get the max UHF from the HD9095P. Bottom line - try each antenna seperate, then combine them and see. (also there is some loss in the combiner)
