   RW> RW>> You're using a VHF antenna to receive UHF digital stations 8 & 10?   
   RW> RW>> That's odd.   
      
   RW> TW> NO as I stated I am using a High Band VHF TV antanna. Low Band covers   
   RW> TW> channel 2 thru 6 and High covers Channel 7 thru 13   
      
   RW>No wonder you're not getting all of the HD channels. You need a UHF   
   RW>antenna for those. Channel 8 and 10 are still on VHF, but the rest of   
   RW>the stations in SD are on UHF frequencies. i.e. Channel 6 (calls   
   RW>itself 6.1 now) is now broadcasting on UHF channel 23, etc..   
      
   you are not paying any attnetion to what I am saying. As you Know the   
   UHF stations are in a totally different direction then the VHF channels   
   Because of this I CHoOSE to use a VHF Hi Anttenna pointed toward the Ch   
   8 & 10 transmitter tower location.   
   For the UHF antenna, as STATED above, I tried two different gigh gain   
   UHF ONLY antennas and the signals were still was to weak to be   
   Watchable!!!!!!!!
