Here is my report -

Long story shortish - tried many times to get a signal where we just moved using a 91XG antenna. I could barely get the Fox channel to come in, but not really enough to even watch it. I decided to try with another antenna and went with the DB8 multidirectional. Same results, which was basically nothing. I used two different compasses and all different directions.
I was about to give up and throw the antenna down from the attic when I turn around with the DB8 in my hands and suddenly get 6 bars of signal. I was pretty shocked because this was the complete opposite direction of where I should be aiming. So where before I could barely get one channel I was now getting over 30. We are surrounded by very high hills so could it be possible that the signals are reflecting off the large hill across from us or was I just aiming in the complete wrong direction by following the compass?
At this point I am now getting 3 of the 4 basic channels I wanted, but it seems that the last NBC channel might be impossible to get from this location since it is on VHF. I still have no idea how I could have been aiming in the completely opposite direction all this time though?
