I only care about channel 2, New York. I thought all VHF television transmission will be discontinued as of February 2009. Building a VHF antenna would seem to be a wasted effort. You need to think how you can receive the same station on UHF digital. There are plenty of UHF antennas available; you may also need a low noise, mast-head, pre-amplifier to get a good signal. Regards, Frank hmm I thought not all the channels will necessarily change meaning some of the vhf stations will still be there just switching from analog to digital? i have received some tv stations from about 100m away from nyc in the catskill region, perhaps the natural elevation helped but in that same area of ct i have also received ch 2 using regular antenna however receving the ny ch wasn't the problem the closer local ch 2 was more of an issue so pic wasn't perfect i used a regular but large radioshack antenna and coax |
