Many Tv stations have changed the channel that the Tv station is transmitting on , and have kept the Old channel number to display on the Tv screen.

The tvfool channel list shows the , Real Channels that are Transmitted and Received.

The tvfool channel list shows the (virt) virtual numbers. Virtual numbers are Not real channels even if the virtual number is the same as the Real Channel.

The Real channel and virtual number has little to do with the FCC Federal Communications Commission.

The Main Reason for Real Channels and Virtual Numbers is the Tv Station Owners and what is known as Channel Branding.

As an example , WXYZ Tv NBC transmitted on Analog channel 4 for 30 years and the number 4 is a ->Channel Brand<- of WXYZ TV NBC.

And the people that live in the reception area of WXYZ Tv NBC have always known the Tv station as channel 4.

So the Tv station keeps and displays the number 4.

However when the Tv station changed from Analog to Digital transmission the Tv station is now transmitting on Real Channel 19.

The 2 ways to resolve/correct the situation is to.

1. Change the Channel Brand to 19.

2. Along with the number 4 display , also display , Real Channel 19.

------

WBRA-DT REAL Channel 3 , virtual number (15.1) PBS , is Very Weak Signal

Strength at 9.5 NM(dB) , Has , 2 Edge Path , obstructions= hills/mountains , and is 125.5 miles distant.

WBRA , Will Not Be Received and even if it is received it Will Not Be Received Reliably.

So no Current requirement for a antenna that receives VHF low band channels 2 thru 6.
