That's a bit odd Chris. It is certainly not true in Sydney where ABC DTV is ch 12. (Seven is on 6, Nine on 8, and TEN on 11. Everything else is UHF.) True, ABC analog is on ch 2 but ABA are trying to clear all TV off the VHF band I.
According to the ABA all TV for the Manning River area is on VHF band III (137-230MHz) and UHF band V (582-820MHz). ABC is on ch 7 (DTV) and ch 6 (analog). NEN is on ch9 (DTV) and ch 8 (analog).
Every VCR I've ever dealt with either used VHF band I (45-70MHz) channels to retransmit to the TV, or they used composite video. I can't see how you'd get interference between VHF I and VHF III.
