When side mounted, the nulls caused by the tower are different between H-pol and V-pol. That suggests that twisting your antenna so that the elements are diagonal (45 degrees) may offer a solution that you can try. You'd loose 3 db on signals that are only H-pol and pick up much more than that if there is a V-pol signal in the air at your house.

Ok, what? LOL I'm not well versed in all of the technical jargon for OTA antennas. So if the desired station is at 300 degrees from my location, I should actually point my antenna at 45 degrees from that which would be 255 or 345. Am I following you?
