It does nothing for the already good VHF reception, nor is it meant to.

I disagree based upon our own experience... where I am, Channels 3, 10 and 13 can be very difficult to get clearly if only 20 -30 miles from the towers but the add-on allows us to get signals and clear (non-pixelated) HD pictures from almost 50 miles away. I do agree that it does make the antenna more directional, but that is the point of a yagi antenna - they are directional in nature.

Dutch is correct. The Wingman is a passive directional element aligned on the UHF element ONLY. It has no effect nor is it even lined up to affect the VHF element that is the Batwing itself. Are those the channels you have displayed on the TV or the physical over the air channels? There's a big difference between the two
