Be sure that you are thinking 'real channel' not 'virtual channel' when working on an antenna system. Antennas have no awareness of virtual channels.The DB8E is a UHF only design (real CH-14 and higher). If you're trying to receive WOOD on real CH-7, don't expect the DB8E to be capable of that. The same is true of real CH-8, WWMY and the rest of the signals in the range of real CH-2 through 13 (the low and high VHF bands).
However, the DB8E would give you a shot at real CH-46 which is a second transmitter that carries WOOD. You'll want to keep the CS5 in the system so that you don't loose the other H-VHF signals.
The DB8E may add one or more UHF signals that you haven't seen so far... If not I would expect it to give you more reliable reception of the signals you're seeing with the CS2.
If the DB8E + CS5 can't deliver a reliable signal from WOOD, the next option is to step up to the DB8E + Y10713 combination I mentioned earlier.
