And your posting this why?

I had nothing else better to do.

Well, it's interesting from the "good & proper antenna" aspect.

Before the transition, in my area, all of the digital channels were UHF; only one of them moved back to VHF as part of the transition. That one station--the NBC affiliate--is the only one that people are now having a problem with regarding their ability to pick up a good signal, or any signal; it seems a lot of people were using antennas that were only good for UHF, me among them (which was of no concern to me since I can just go to nbc.com to see any show I want to, when I want to). Anyway, just for fun I hooked up an old VHF antenna to my converter box this afternoon, and there it is, in all its digital glory (well, actually, it doesn't look quite as "crisp" as the other channels do with the "digital" antenna, which is powered): NBC... meh.

So, the moral of this story is: try your old VHF antenna if you can't receive that station you used to be able to before the transition.

I've heard people tell me this sort of thing before because all those station's on that lineup list were, before June 12Th broadcasting in UHF digital. For me that was great because I didn't need to do any tuning. Then after June 12Th KCT 9.1, KCPQ 13.1, and KSTW 11.1 went to VHF. I ended up having to get a UHF/VHF booster antenna just to get those channel's again.

Where did you get that list from? I have a 19" LCD tv up in my office with no box or anything and it would be nice to have a list of the dtv stations.

Looks like antennaweb.org

»www.antennaweb.org/

Someone will most likely be here shortly to tell you that antennaweb sucks and tvfool is much better...

»tvfool.com/

Use either/both and digest the info for yourself.

i just bought a Samsung 240HD HDTV/Monitor with QAM and I have so many channels I can't figure out which is which.
This thing is hooked up without a cable box. I'm getting HD on channels that I have no clue about.
I'm connected directly to the coax. It's a pretty amazing HDTV/Monitor.

All this talk of UHF reminds me of being a child and clicking through the "bottom dial" to find the sparsely populated UHF channels. Those were the forgotten channels. Weird Al parodied it. It's kind of ironic the majors are now there but they get to keep their virtual numbers.

An LCD computer monitor for TV?

No. It's an HDTV with multiple PC connections.
