VHF has gone away in some areas, as I understand it. It is all gone in the Chicago metro area, now all HDTV is broadcast on UHF channels only. And thank goodness for that! For a while, CBS 2 Chicago was on VHF channel 12, and was limited in power. So the reception outside the city limits was rather poor, even for relatively close-in suburbs. They finally got 48.2 allocated, and that comes in much better, much further out. It was frustrating, because the other major & minor channels were already on UHF and came in fine.
