I know nothing about it except what I heard in 2009 when the analog/digital switch went on... Thanks!

Here is a tool to make an estimate of what is available OTA.

Put in your zip code to start then you can move the cursor and zoom to your location. Reception is highly location dependent. On the west side if welch we get 8.1/8.2 ABC Portland (reflection off MT Major) and from VT 31.1 NBC and 41.1/41.2/41.3 PBS.
We have a digital TV, antenna on roof with mast and pre-amp, VHF high band Yagi for ch 8 and separate high gain UHF antenna.
