Tv antennas and Tv reception

The 3 VHF high band channels are , KMGH-TV channel 7 ABC , KUSA-DT channel 9 NBC , KBDI-TV 13 PBS. Tvfool lists both the REAL Tv channel that is being transmitted and received and the Virtual channel that displays on the Tv screen. During the switch to digital some tv stations are using the old Legacy analog channel number even though the station is transmitting on a different channel. And some tv stations continued to transmit on the same channel after the digital transisition. Example , KMGH was transmitting Analog channel 7 and put in a new Digital transmitter that is also channel 7 , so the REAL channel and the Virtual channel are the same. Many other tv stations are transmitting on a different channel then the Virtual Legacy channel number , Example: KCNC was transmitting on VHF low band Channel 4 and is now transmitting on UHF channel 35. Tv antennas are selected by the REAL channels to be received , not the Virtual channels.
