You are making me feel old.

The UHF converter boxes I used connected to the VHF antenna leads and 
you tuned the set to channel 6, not channel 3.

When my family moved from New Jersey (where anything anyone watched was 
on VHF) to Connecticut (where only two stations were on VHF) we had to 
buy these for our sets.
