Do I need a special VHF or UHF antenna?

 

Ideally, you will want an antenna that picks up both VHF (channels 2-13) and UHF (channels 14-59) signals.  During the interim period prior to the transition date, many TV stations were operating on "transitional" channels -- that is, they were putting out analog signals on their "old" analog channels, and putting out their digital signals on "borrowed" channels.  Once the transition was completed, some stations went back to their old channels, while some stayed on their new channels.  So you want to be able to pull in the full range of the TV spectrum, both VHF and UHF.
