Antenna Selection Guide NOTE that stations will be transmitting on different channels then they are now. To avoid confusion, new tuners allow a station to keep its old channel number while automatically switching you to its new Real Channel, some of which will be VHF while most will use UHF. Real Channels on the List numbered less than 14 are VHF. In general, they need a broader antenna than UHF channels; the ones numbered 14 and up. Real Channels 3, 11 and 12 require broad antennas beyond 15 miles from stations (locations are listed on the chart and shown on the islands image above). Most channels are "local" on Key West, however, requiring only a simple indoor antenna. Antenna Color Codes To get Free HDTV Over-the-Air signals you need an Antenna; Color Coding Shows Reception Strength.
