Not necessarily...It depends on you local stations...

Some stations went to the UHF TV band when switching to digital transmission and some stayed on the VHF TV band.

In my area all stations "Except" my local PBS station went to the uhf band...The PBS station stayed in its VHF channel (Channel 12 VHF).

So some research would help you get the correct type of antenna.
