Not sure how much of a difference that makes

It can make all the difference. Small, flat antennas will usually perform poorly on VHF since they are too small to effectively receive the longer wavelength VHF signals.
Also, get the antenna out from behind the TV set and experiment with its location to see if you can find a spot where the signal. TVs tend to emit their own interference which, when picked up by the antenna, will kill reception. Placing the antenna in front of a window that faces the broadcast towers, if one is available, is the best location to start looking for signals.
