Unless you post a address, there is no way for us to know where you live or what your situation is.

Fox stations are usually on VHF and not on UHF and you cannot receive well - a VHF station with a UHF antenna.

It is like trying to run your gasoline engine car on diesel fuel.

What is the difference between antenna's? One has more panels than the other.

I believe that the Channel Master 4220 is a 2 bay antenna.

The 4221 is a 4 bay - look at the pictures and you can see little X's behind the screen. That is the bay's.

Here is a picture of the 4228

To answer your question, the 2 bay has 2 bow tie signal receptors, the 8 bay has 8 UHF signal receptors and should theoretically pull in 4 times as much UHF signal, but that is not your problem.

You have 3 VHF stations in Orange County, KABC (ABC) on CH 7, KCOP (IND)on CH 9 and KTTV (FOX) on CH 11.

I'd add a small VHF high type antenna to your 4220 joined with a UVSJ (UHF/VHF signal joiner - $6 or so) or you could buy a totally new UHF/VHF high band antenna. Either way you should spend less that $50, your signals are strong.
