I just read an article in the local paper that noted not all TV
stations will be converting to digital.
There are only 1760 full power stations that will have to change. But
there are over 2900 low power and 4400 translators stations that will
not have to convert.
Apparently if you get the wrong box and receive one of these low power
or translator stations you might not get the stations with the box.
All of the above is true. The converter boxes will generally end up
blocking access to the transmitters that are not required to convert to
digital. Most large metro areas are only served by the full power
transmitters, with low power and translator facilities serving outer,
rural and mountainous areas.
