The DB8 should be doing well receiving Wichita Falls and Grandfield area signal when it's facing SSW.

If you're not receiving KSWO reliably, you could add an Antennacraft Y5713 pointed at 208°. Using a UVSJ you can insert the signal into the existing coax run from the DB8 to the TV.

The GE antenna is not going to have the gain or directivity that the DB8 offers. The manual for the product lacks any information regarding the directional capability of the antenna which reaffirms my suspicion that the product is intended to be omnidirectional more or less. I don't expect the GE antenna to provide reliable reception of anything other than the strongest signals.
