To say the same thing a different way; The CM-4221HD is good at receiving UHF signals but not good at receiving VHF signals. I suspect the NBC signal on real channel 11 is stable because it's stronger, and, the CM-4221HD is a little better at that frequency (by chance, not design). The Fox signal on real channel 9 is a bit weaker and I suspect, the CM-4221HD performance at the frequency range of channel 9 is worse (no surprise, it was never intended to perform well at that frequency).

Finally, as others have mentioned, attics are not the best location for an antenna. If you want better reception, mount the antenna where it has higher quality signal to work with.
