Rob, unless you are in a hollow, you should be able to pick up WTNH-DT without a problem. You don't need a full-VHF antenna for it, either, just pick up a channel 10 yagi from Signal (now Cumberland)Electronics in West Hartford. You should probably also pick up a preamp like a Channel Master Titan 7777, which will allow you to connect the separate VHF antenna to your 4221. That combination should get you WTNH-DT without a problem. I think the real trick here is the preamp: you may even see WGGB channel 40.1 from it, but don't give up on WTNH-DT: they have Dolby Digital 5.1: something that WGGB-DT doesn't have.

However, if I lived in Colchester (my stepson does) I would pick up the VIP-306 and a rotator, and also the Titan 7777 preamp, because you are missing WTXX-DT on channel 12, WWLP-DT on Channel 11 as well as WTNH-DT on channel 10. WE really need our VHF antennas here in CT for HDTV!
