If, when you had your DB8e in the porch rafters, you were pointing due West, it makes sense that you did not receive CBS (WYOU-22) and NBC (WBRE-28) since the towers in that direction broadcast on real channels 11 and 13.

It sounds like you might already have tried this, but, if not, I'd set the DB-8e so that both halves are pointed in the same direction, then point it to 344 degrees using a magnetic compass. If that doesn't work, then it doesn't work. ADTech's comments are interesting (thought the signal strength from 344 degrees are both at 25 dB so I'm surprised that he gives little chance of your receiving them). If this is the case, then point it back to the west (267 degrees) and add a VHF antenna and use a combiner. Others will make recommendation for the VHF antenna and signal combiner.
