I think the square shooter is UHF only. Is channel 2 the digital channel or do they broadcast the digital signal for analog channel 2 on a different RF? Check antennaweb.org to find out the correct RF. If the RF is channel 2 then you will need a VHF antenna that will be about 8 feet long. In NYC where I am, only one digital channel was broadcasting on a VHF and that was on RF channel 12 which is the shortest "arm" on a VHF antenna but it is still about 3 ft. If you find out that you only need to pick up one VHF channel and not all the VHFs that are broadcasting analog then you can look for a "cut antenna" which is an antenna designed to pick up only one VHF channel.
