They are able to dis-associate the channel number with the actual broadcast channel now, so we don't know what frequency (channel) they are on.....
Lower channels (2, 4, 5, ....) don't travel as well, so most every station will end up going into the UHF area - even if some lower segment is available, it won't be used unless some station is desperate or stupid.
My public station is channel 2. Every once in a long while they slip into slot 38-1 & 38-2, so I guess they are broadcasting in HD on channel 38 - tho they will continue to call themselves channel 2.
It is true on the all or nothing. There is no more watching fuzzy channels, which those of us in the boonies were used to.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
