rooftop antennae for tuner and TV


does anyone know if antennaes for an FM tuner will also work for TV as well? I will mount it on the roof and just have a local FM station to receive for the tuner. For the TV I would like to recieve UHF and VHF.

thanks

Generally, an antenna designed for FM only will offer limited usefulness for TV, especially UHF. The FM band exists within the TV bands (I think FM frequencies are between channels 6 and 7 -- or is it 7 and 8? -- of the TV frequencies). So, while a TV antenna should be able to pull in FM signals, an antenna designed for FM frequencies would probably not have the spectrum bandwidth for all TV signals.
