i have no problems with digital OTA tv

i did have to go through a few antennas but once i had the right antenna its flawless.
Me neither but once a neighbor purchases one of these whitespace devices and it malfunctions, you can kiss OTA goodbye.

Nope. They were assigned new channels in the traditional analog TV bands. Many are in UHF 52-69 which was recently auctioned off to other services. As of Feb, they will have to move down to lower channels and drop their analog transmission. Some (not all) will move the digital signal to where their analog was. Others are going to some other unoccupied channel between 5 and 51 (mostly near the top of that range).
