And no, it doesn't matter that a station is now on a VHF channel, yet
transmitting digital - What's happening is that they're transmitting
on two separate frequencies - The standard analog signal on their
"old" VHF frequency, the digital signal on their "new" digital
frequency. Which, in *ALL* cases, is in the UHF band.

Not true in all markets. In fact, in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, two
stations are moving out of the UHF band down to channels 11 and 13!
Previously, all stations were UHF here except for the low power catholic
station on channel 7. I made a simple dipole cut for channel 12 and it
works fine to pick up 11 and 13 digital signals.

And here in W. Michigan the new channel assignments for digital TV
broadcasting include channels 5 (moved from 52), 7, 8 and 11 -- all VHF.
