Reception notes
- VHF. KDPH-LD transmits on RF channel 13, in the High VHF band (RF 7 to 13). Many flat indoor antennas pick up VHF poorly, so choose an antenna rated for VHF as well as UHF. VHF antenna guide
- Channel number. Your TV shows it as 48.1 even though the signal is on RF channel 13. A channel scan finds it either way. How to rescan
- NextGen TV. The FCC does not list KDPH-LD as broadcasting in ATSC 3.0, so any digital TV tuner can receive it.
