Not true. You can buy a converter box:

Bozhemoi. I can remember converter boxes from the early 1950s;
we had one in Kettleman City. There was one vanilla station --
Channel 2 I think -- broadcasting from Bakersfield. There were
two other, UHF, channels broadcasting from Fresno, but you needed a
converter to access them. I think we got one when we'd been in
Kettleman for about a year. Before we moved there, we didn't
have a TV at all. They were expensive.
