Yup, a lot of changes, and even more changes to come. You will need to rescan to keep up with the changes and maybe try a preamp and a different antenna. to find what you want, Angelo.

It is the real channel number that determines what antenna is needed.

VHF-Low, real channels 2-6
VHF-High, real channels 7-13
UHF, real channels 14-51

The virtual channel number (like 5.1) is a holdover from the analog TV days to maintain the identity of the station, and is what the TV displays.
