If www.rabbitears.info is correct, W27AU-D is a translator of NBC WJFW-TV. ( http://www.rabbitears.info/market.ph...callsign=w27au ) W27AU-D is a UHF station so your DB8e will do well with it. W27AU is also in the group of stations to your north, so if the TV fool plot is accurate with your antenna as it is now, you should be getting it.

If the TV fool plot is a reasonably accurate prediction the DB8e should be getting you WRHM, WFXS, WTPX, and W27AU without much trouble (and the VHF stations WSAW and WAOW). I would get a new cable with ends already on it, such as a 50’ length from monoprice. I would then run it directly from the antenna through an open door or window directly to a TV, with nothing between the two. Then do a channel scan. (you would want as short of a cable as possible between the TV and the antenna, so maybe even take the TV outside if you can do it safely.)
