So the UHF frequencies are definitely being used. It's just their format has changed to digital.

In Philadelphia, 6-ABC and 12-PBS stayed on VHF, 3 and 10 went to UHF. Two of the seven DT stations in the Harrisburg area are VHF. One stayed on 8 and the other went from 27 to 10, and is a bigger reception problem than ever now.
With NTSC being extinct in our area, I wish it was all on UHF. We STILL need bigger VHF antennas and broadband combos that are even larger: sigh: making our rooftop antennas very obvious.
