What about the All Receivers Bill of 1962?
Receivers must receive all channels. Granted, the shoe was on the other foot
back in 1962, but the bill still applies to today.

Maybe they’re wanting to clear the VHF range for other use.

I was looking at the current crop of UHDTVs and noticed something alarming
about the Sony models: they only show ATSC 3.0 being active on channels 14-36.
In other words, the NextGen tuners on Sony TVs are not designed to receive VHF.
I don’t know if this is the case with other TV manufacturers since only Sony
is willing to show all the specs for their new TVs.
But if this is the trend for NextGen TV sets, it looks like VHF station owners
will be out in the cold for 3.0.
