Hello,
Finally getting into the OTA HD thing and it's pretty cool to be able to grab some of those channels for free! I tried my first antenna and decided to exchange it for a DB2 (or clone) which I'm planning to order this week.
This brings me to my confusion. I thought that the lower channels (up to ch 13 or so) was VHF and 14-69 were UHF. However, on the info on the antennaweb.com site, it says that I should be able to get channels 3 and 5 from my location with a UHF antenna (though they recommend VHF for channel 13). Could this be correct?? If so, I'd love to learn why that is the case. Is it because those channels are digital? I'd much prefer if I could pull in those channels with UHF because then there wouldn't be any issue with the DB2 antenna but I'd love to hear your thoughts and hopefully learn a little more about this whole thing.
Thanks so much in advance!
Rae
