I am not sure why you choose 175 degrees and 155 degrees, unless you want specific stations in those directions.
The DB-8e allows the two panels to be aimed in different directions. This is very useful for when you have channels in two different directions. However, your Toronto signals are strong, so they might be received off the side of the antenna. Therefore, a useful experiment is to aim both panels right at Buffalo for the highest gain, and the best chance of receiving the Buffalo signals reliably.
IMHO, the Buffalo stations you have a good chance at receiving are:
WNLO-DT 32 (23.1) CW - 146 degrees / 36.1 dBm
WNED-DT 43 (17.1) PBS - 146 degrees / 28.4 dBm
WUTV-DT 14 (29.1) FOX - 146 degrees / 23.6 dBm
WIVB-DT 39 (4.1) CBS - 150 degrees / 21.3 dBm
WKBW-DT 38 (7.1) ABC - 151 degrees / 17.7 dBm
WNYB-DT 26 (26.1) Ind - 173 degrees / 12.3 dBm
WYNO-TV 49 (49.1) MyN - 142 degrees / 8.3 dBm
WBBZ-TV 7 (67.1) MeTV at 155 will not be received by the DB-8 as it is a VHF HI station and would need a large dedicated VHF-HI antenna. But at -4.5 dBm it is unlikely to be received solidly.
WGRZ-DT 33 (2.1) NBC - 147 degrees is extremely weak at -12.5 and it is likely you will only get it unreliably
I'd re-set the DB-8e so that both panels are aimed in the exact same direction and aim at 147 degrees. The range of your signals from 142 to 151 is less than 10 degrees and both panels aimed in the same direction (147 degrees on a compass) is your best starting point for the Buffalo channels. I recommend doing this as an experiment, then make a list of both the Buffalo channels and the Toronto channels you receive together with what you are missing but want and post it here.
