In my area channel 5 (NBC) and channel 12 (CBS) are local. In prior motorhomes these stations were captured on Air-channel scan. They included 5.1, 5.2, etc. Just call me Still Stumped!

Tom and others, thank you for your input. The thing tat is driving me crazy is one time I was able to capture these lower channel and the reception was great. Later, it was lost. I have tried every combination in trying to recapture these low channels. To no avail.

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 about the antenna booster. When connected to cable I can receive all available channels. Any thoughts?

At the beginning of the digital transition, TV stations were broadcasting both analog and digital signals. Since the VHF band was mostly filled up, that meant the digital had to be broadcast on the UHF band. Once the analog was shut down many stations moved their digital broadcast down to the VHF band. About 1/4 of the full power TV stations in the U.S. are broadcasting on VHF. The UHF band used to go to channel 69 but presently it ends at 51. I don't think the TV band will fill up any time soon. Digital broadcast actually freed up many channels. During the analog years you could not have adjacent channels in the same market. For instance, there could not be a channel 10 and channel 11. There had to be a gap between channels. With digital, adjacent channels are permitted.
