The first set we had that was capable of receiving BBC2 was, I think an HMV rented from Robinson Rentals,later Granada. I don't ever remember seeing BBC2 on it though.
The first one I got to play with was an STC VC2 I got it without the UHF tuner but it was easy to fit a rotary UHF tuner, transistorised, and it worked extremely well here in Coventry. Picking up BBC2 on just a length of wire as an aeriel.
