Never heard of any TVs sold here equipped to receive only UHF ch28 *as

Must be an odd ball.



Years ago, back in the "good old days" of turret tuners, you could
replace one of the VHF bits with a UHF allowing you to receive that
channel. Because in the US the VHF channels always skipped a number in
any given location, you had space for as many as perhaps 5 UHF
channels. You just had to remember that when the dial said "6" for
example, that it was UHF channel "38". Some units even had little
plastic lables so you could properly label the indicator!
