My channels display as 2.1, 5.1, 7.1 etc. So I need a VHF antenna right?
NO what you are looking at on your display is likely a re-map. If your analog station is broadcasting on a frequency assignment of say 2 then the digital broadcast will must be on a separate frequency as two TV stations cannot broadcast on the same frequency at the same time. For example the analog assignment for the KCBS in Los Angeles is Ch 2 and the digital broadcast will likely show up on a tuner as 2.1, but the digital frequency is actually 60.(changing after June 2009) Remember, the vast majority of digital broadcasts (74%) are on the UHF band.
