Cannot get lower channel TV reception
Have a 2015 Class C with Samsung TV and antenna booster. When I search for channels over air I can only lock in upper UHF channels. No 2-13 channels. I called Samsung and they got terribly confused ...

RoyB is 100% correct.
The old network stations generally retained their VHF Channel designations after the change, but they are actually broadcast on UHF frequencies!
As an example, the "old" Channel Five Fox station here in DC still displays as Channel 5 Fox. However it is now broadcast at a UHF frequency associated with a UHF Channel number of 14 or higher.
I think when Roy said, "You will find them designated 2.1 3.1 etc but the new frequency band starts at the old VHF channel 14 and up." he actually meant "You will find them designated 2.1 3.1 etc but the new frequency band starts at the old UHF channel 14 and up."
Otherwise, perfect explanation.
