DB2 Northeast FL reception question

Apparently I really mixed things up as I swore I hit submit and the thread never showed.

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...03d9fe2dbb28c2

Is my location.

I have a db2 and previously had it setup so that it was facing backwards on my counter on top of the oven grate that when it touched the sink it got 7.1-7.4 and 12.1-12.2. After finding some neat articles on fractal antennas I decided to check my new address. After the transition I lost more than a few channels that I would get on just an fm wire.. assumed db2 would do the trick but I am still puzzled.

Given that both 7.1 and 12.1 share the same heading as the rest of the channels and given the fact the db2 is supposed to be uhf the only channels I am getting are vhf.. if I am reading this right. I moved the antenna up on top of the cupboards at 8-9 feet and still have the same reception with no new additonal channels. The irony of this is that when facing the antenna so the connector is in front the reception is so so.. however with the antenna facing backwards.. its much improved.. and I do know north from south etc lol.

The antenna is hooked to the tv with two 5 foot extensions and a female adpater that binds them. Is there something or any advice/help anyone can recommend as to why other channels the same distance and alightment as the others refuse to be pulled in even when tower output is greater than the current ones?

puzzled..
