However, antennas could be made for "post-transition channel allocations".
E.g. the UHF antennas tuned for 14-51, and dual-banders for 7-51. And DTV
benefits more from more directional antennas, so even those will end up
with sales people labelling them as "DTV".


Which will do no good here at all. Post transition our local ABC
affiliate is going to VHF channel 5.

There is no substitute for the long tried and tested combo vhf/uhf
antenna in our area.
