That antenna isn't geared for VHF-Low. In fact virtually every antenna advertised as HD is simply not designed for channels 2-6. If you want to look for yourself often times VHF/UHF/FM antennas are optimized for 2-62/69 which is what you want. Many Antenna Craft antennas are also 2-69 but as Radioshack was ordered to sell these are only available on closeout or stores which didn't happen to toss them.

You can say with all honesty to your wife because METV is on VHF the fancy compact antennas are not ideal. And lower the frequency means longer elements and the more frequencies means more elements. Something like the RCA751R is a nice compact antenna which does VHF-HI but not designed for VHF Low.

WJLP (METV) as stated IS currently on channel 3 VHF and from what I'm reading is fighting to stay there.
