DC resistance measurements tell you almost nothing about the RF characteristics of a component or system. In OTA TV systems, frequencies range from 50 to a bit over 700 MHz. A DC/ low-freq. AC VOM can't measure at those frequencies.
Many if not most baluns, matching transformers and matching networks will present low DC resistance on one or both ports.
Be sure the TV is set to scan for 'Air' or 'Antenna' signals, not cable.
Also, double check that none of the phasing lines are touching the boom.

Reason: emphisis of correct scan type
