Good morning, all.

Before buying an antenna, check http://www.atnennaweb.org

It's a bit more generic than TV Fool, but lists which stations you should be able to receive with various sizes of antennas. It only considers outdoor antennas.

Especially not the column for channel numbers after the transition.

For example in the Lansing market...

analog channel 6 has digital on channel 59 but will move to 36 on 2/18

analog channel 23 has digital on channel 55, but will move to 40 on 2/18

and most important for viewers to know...

analog channel 10 has digital on channel 57, but will move to 10 on 2/18.

So, an antenna with a VHF element will still be important.

Being able to tell a stations frequency by channel number has ended thanks to the use of the ATSC/FCC required virtual channel numbering scheme.

That was a bad link.

Was it supposed to be Antennaweb ?
