In the US
The main HD channels are in the UHF band
FM is in the middle (between ch6 and 7) of the old VHF TV band
Getting the Signal from outside a structure is best
The upper antenna (Arial to you folk across the pond) is a UHF HD (8-bay, directional)
The lower is a FM 'turnstile' omnidirectional
A clear 'line-o-sight' path to the transmission is preferred for UHF signals.
