I see you didn't get much help at the DHC Hamilton thread, but it was worth a try. If roger had been there, you would have gotten a better answer.

I thought about your problem a little more. Your reception results are not consistent with your tvfool report and your equipment. There seems to be a piece missing from the puzzle.
The possible reasons for your poor reception:
1. Your tvfool report is wrong.
2. There is a problem with your equipment.
3. There is something in front of your antenna that is blocking the signals, like a thick stand of trees or a large building.
Have you tried using a different antenna in place of your focus360 180D antenna, like a DB4e with a separate piece of known good coax and one tv? There might be a problem with your antenna. You could have a bad balun, combiner, or coax

I am aiming at 120 with one side and 100 with the other right now; but all tests were done pointing at 46* with one side and 120* with the other side.

What happens if you aim
both panels at 120? That type of antenna that has two 4-bay sections doesn't always work the way you want it with the two sections aimed in different directions. It's a novel idea to think you can use it to receive signals from two different directions, but it often doesn't work because each section can pick up the same channel, and when the signals arrive at the combiner, they can be out of phase, resulting in loss of signal.
Using an estimate of your location, I don't see much difference at 30 ft:
