I live near Cleveland. Every TV station in my area changed to digital as well. However, I found that in my area (actually 35 miles east of Cleveland) the DTV OTA reception is very good, even with an indoor antenna. We have channels 3, 5, 8, 19, 25, 43, 55 and 61 here. With the small DTV antenna, I get every station except 8 and 19 (the subchannels of which, Antenna TV and MeTV, respectively, are the two channels I watch the most), and the reception is just great on the stations I do get. I found out the reason why I cannot receive 8 and 19 on my DTV antenna is that these stations' DTV assignments are on VHF channels, which of course the UHF DTV antenna won't pick up. Worse, I found out that the only way I could receive the two DTV stations on VHF channels would be to use a large outdoor antenna, which is out of the question for me as I live in an apartment building. The building is wired for cable, however, so I can get every station from Cleveland and two other, smaller cities, as well as the usual national cable networks like CNN, ESPN, TBS, TNT, and so on. I don't watch cable that much, though, since I have a collection of DVDs and VHS tapes of old shows and movies, a lot of which aren't even on cable anymore and may not return for some time, if they ever do.
