Most VHF analog stations are using UHF for their Digital broadcast. Channel 6 Johnstown is 34 UHF Channel 2 PGH is now on 25 UHF Channel 4 PGH is on 51 (I think) UHF stations have been allocated a different channel for their DTV 53 PGH is on 43 UHF (I think) While it was told that ALL VHF television would move to UHF, I don't believe that is going to be reality. I could be wrong, however.... Kevin
