Unfortunately for most areas it's not this simple. The FCC allowed the broadcaster to choose channels between 2 and 51, so many are staying in, or returning to VHF. I also thought I could ditch the VHF part of my roof antenna, but in Detroit there will be VHF digital stations so I still need both :-( You can see how your area shakes out here:
