If the sets lasted long enough and were located in markets with VHF stations but no UHF ones (at the time the set was purchased), the sets would be ready (no need for a converter) when UHF stations arrived in these areas.

Interesting now with DTV, I think I might be able to pick up 16,22,28,41,46 one station out of Battle Creek MI and four stations from South Bend IN but with Direct TV I never tried it since I crashed the antenna to the gound to get it off the roof.
