You need a VHF/UHF antenna (channels 2 to 60 ). Check out: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html
No, VHS freq's are still used (channels 2 thru 13)
Digital transmissions are on the TV channels 2 to 60, this is the VHF and the UHF band. Some stations changed frequencies and added new channels.
First, you need an antenna that is both uhf and vhf comaptible. Usuaully it will have a pair of rabbit ears (vhf) and a center loop or plate (uhf). Make sure the rabbit ears are completely extended then just re-scan your channels on your digital box or your hdtv.
Digital data sent over UHF radio frequencies.
A YAGI UHF antenna is made to be very directional and receive all the UHF frequencies better than any others. In the US, some digital stations are still on the upper VHS band, channels 7 to 13. More info can be found at www.tvfool.com.
There was a knob (or handle or dial) on the set that changed the channels as you turned it. Often there were 2 knobs: One that had VHF channels 2-13 and "UHF", and when you set it at UHF then you could use the second knob to change UHF channels 14 to about 83 (I think). These were and still are standard antenna broadcast channels. Channels with higher numbers (84 to the hundreds and thousands) are cable / satellite channels only... These knobs on early sets changed a "mechanical" switch that set the TV to receive a particular channel. It went "click-click-click" as it was turned. They will still work. Newer TVs have electronic channel selectors, usually controlled by a remote device, and also often have buttons right on the set that will also electronically select the channels.
Very High Frequency and Ultra High Frequency. They are ranges of frequencies of radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. VHF ranges from about 30MHz to 300MHz, UHF is from about 300MHz to 3GHz. They are further subdivided into bands for; marine, amature, and other 2 way radio use, also designated channels for television and radio broadcast stations, as well as other uses throughout the world. In the US on the now defunkt analog television system VHF channels were 2-13 UHF channels were 14-83.
yes but they will only be able to receive signal from stations that continue to broadcast UHF/ Free-To-Air E.G: Channel 21, Manchester
In the 40's there were only channels 2-13. UHF didn't come along until the 50's.
VHF is the more common for tv channels, you are probably thinking UHF
Yes
