that is ten times stronger, but is plagued with all those interference

Well I suppose you are looking to have fun with your NanoVNA --- but
there is likely a much easier way to directly accomplish your goal.
Many modern TV's (with digital tuners) have a diagnostic mode that
will display received signal strength (along with other parameters).
So look up your model on the internet, or interrogate the internal
Help File, or even check the User Manual.
Using that mode will allow direct comparison of your various antennas.
For example, many Sony TV's use something like this:
And I recall the (now decades old) Digital TV Converter boxes
included the same feature.
