You need a VHF radio antenna, a VHF radio receiver and of course a station broadcasting on the VHF frequency.
Yes, a UHF antenna can pick up VHF signals, but not well. The size difference makes the uhf antenna "inefficient" for the longer vhf wave length, but some energy can be received by the uhf antenna.
A household would still need a VHF antenna if their broadcaster is using a tower that broadcasts signals using VHF. You can check this by calling your cable service provider.
VHF radios work by the line of sight principle
Getting a VHF antenna will allow the TV to have a strong signals and get the programs that you would need. Also, UHF could be another alternative to VHF.

You need a VHF/UHF antenna (channels 2 to 60 ). Check out: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html
The CB antenna is made for a limited band of frequencies and the VHF is a wide band antenna made for higher freqs. A CB antenna will not make a good tv antenna. A CB ant. is mounted on the vertical and tv ants. are mounted horiz. in the USA. VHF antennas are much smaller as they are for higher frequencies. Usually, they have many elements (rods) and will go from long in the back to short in the front. Certain CB antennas (beams) are mounted horizontally, but all of the elements are roughly the same length - and about twice as long as a VHF antenna. The elements on a horizontal CB antenna are roughly 18 feet from end to end.
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.
A VHF/UHF antenna is the correct one for HDTV. If you are using a indoor antenna, the amplified ones are better.
There are many places online to buy a VHF antenna. The best place would be the Motorola website. They also sell them at Amazon, Alie Express, and Radio Communications online.
