Channel 2 is broadcast on Real Ch 5, which is low VHF. So you need an antenna that has good Lo-VHF performance. I'm guessing the one's you have now, esp the expensive flat antenna, is tuned more for UHF.
If that's the only channel you want, you would look for something like the AntennaCraft Y5-2-6. It's designed for Lo-VHF. You will want to aim it north. There's a couple of elevation changes between you and the towers, hence the 2Edge rating. So don't be surprised if you get better reception turned a little NE or NW. Even a few degrees higher aim over a flat horizon could benefit.
Be sure to consider your attic construction - metal roofs, foil wrapped HVAC ducts, etc will play havoc with your reception. And trees, other buildings, etc; anything north of you that's big and nearby will affect reception.
