The frequency will tell you whether it's VHF(Very High Frequency) or UHF (Ultra High Frequency).

According to the ITU, VHF goes from 30MHz to 300MHz, UHF goes 300MHz to 3000MHz - it the same 3 to 30 ratio for all the bands from DC to daylight!

As an aside to that, those of us over 50 remember when UHF was an important factor with TV. TV networks did everything possible not to get stuck with an affiliate that broadcasted on the UHF band because the signals were often lousy in contrast to VHF. Plus it could be cumbersome to tune in UHF stations on an old analog television since that required you to switch to the UHF band first much the way we still have to switch to the respective commercial radio bands AM or FM. Of course now things are different. TV's for the last few decades have had digital tuning so that has eliminated that issue plus Television is almost completely digital so VHF vs. UHF is almost no factor is over the air TV. Cable TV has made that problem almost a none issue as well even though the cable operators can't often seem to assign the corresponding OTA channel number to their system. For example, in Milwaukee our CBS affiliate is Channel 58. But the cable companies have it on channel 5. But that's a whole other spaghetti plate issue that cable companies can't seem to get straight. Oh well.

Of course it's a factor. These days, many TV antennas are UHF only and perform poorly on VHF signals. VHF operators are getting the short straw.

True, there's very few on VHF since the digital changeover. For the average viewer that knows little about technical side of TV, they just want it to work when they turn it on. Quite a switch though that VHF was once king and now UHF dominates thanks to the digital switch. What about universal antennas? You'd think that would solve that issue.
