old tech.

You must mean UHF and VHF. That just refered to where on the spectrum the channels were. The feature you describe, tuning in the channel with a dial, was available on both frequency ranges. That was fairly old technology before they came out with the self adjusting circuits that would tune in the channel to the strongest signal all by itself. So the dials were no longer needed.
