It sounds as if you are looking at the 'Virtual Channel' when you speak of 'Channel 2'. This is a common source of confusion... Look carefully at your TV Fool report and you'll see two columns of channel numbers, "Real" & "(Virt)". The real channel is the only one that the antenna is 'aware' of. The virtual channel is a new construct that is needed for identifying separate channels within the data stream that's broadcast within the real channel bandwidth. Unlike the analog signal, with the DTV formatted signal, more than one program can be sent over the same real channel.

So, the HD-1080 is a good option... Other options such as an RCA ANT-751 and Antennacraft HBU-11 or HBU-22 would be worth considering. Finally, the Antennas Direct ClearStream-5 is a possible contender... Though it was designed to receive real channels 7 through 13, it proved to have useful capability in the UHF range (real CH- 14 and higher).
