I thought all the digital channels were UHF which has a weaker signal. I was surprised to find that Channel 6 and 9's current digital channels are UHF but are switching back to VHF-High. I was all set to buy a high gain UHF antenna. Good thing I waited as I would have bought the wrong antenna. Sounds like the antenna I have now might work afterall once I get it pointed correctly. The rotor died last summer and that's about a $75 item at Radio Shack. I'll wait until after the switchover and then decide if I need a new antenna. Sounds like the reception should be ok on South Bear.
