If you don't care about the FCC rules regarding the UHF mandate, why did you even ask me where I got my information about it in the first place?

However, I admit that I did go too far when I rambled on about the history of UHF TV in Cleveland; for that I apologize. If you didn't care to read it, however, you didn't need to. I was only trying to explain why some TVs had UHF tuners as early as the 1950s, when UHF telecasting was still a novelty in the US.
