VOOM OTA uhf reception fine, but no signal from one local vhf channel.

As far as I know, the Voom reciever will only do HD channels.

Is it a HD channel on VHF?

I doubt it.

VOOM OTA tuner receives ATSC DTV (in either SD or HD format). DTV can be broadcast on either VHF or UHF.

You are correct - bad choice of words on my part. I need to train myself that ATSC / DTV does not equal HD.

ShawnHD must be digital. Digital can be either VHF or UHF. Therefore, HD can be VHF or UHF.
