When for the same price you can get a 38 year old piece of shit that has
sat in somebody's kitchen and has been used for years & years.

The old standard VHF tv channels have all been turned off in favor of UHF.

In a number of markets, VHF Band III channels 7 - 13 are still in use for
digital television.

Amazingly there are a few TV stations broadcasting digital television using
VHF Band I channel 2 - 6, eg KOTA-TV on channel 2 in Rapid City, SD;
WSBS-TV on channel 3 in Key West, FL

WSBS-TV is even more suprising in that it moved from UHF 22 (analog)
to VHF 3 (digital).

FWIW, Americans call Band 1 "Low Band", and Band 3 "High Band".

Los Angeles KABC-7 on 7, KCAL 9 on 9, KTTV 11 on 11 and KCOP 13 on 13 plus a low power digital on 8 and channel 10 out of San Diego but I only get 7,9,11 and 13 reliably. Low band VHF ( channels 2-6, 54 to 88 MHz) is poor for digital TV due to impulse noise especially during T-Storms.
