# Well, from what I can glean from Internet, it seems that Mhz allocations 
for the basic DTV channels are (sorted by order of magnitude):
    Channel 7     = 177.5
    Channel 9     = 191.5
    Channel 10   = 219.5
    Ch 2 (ABC) = 226.5
    Ch 28 (SBS)= 564.5
  As the ABC is not at bottom of range, and I can receive all others, I see 
no reason why there would be an antenna  problem - solely re the ABC.
