True but most public TV stations are low powered stations.
I can get only a couple of stations via antenna where I live. One of
those is APT (Alabama Public Television) The other is a local Fox
affiliate but both of these have low powered antennas.
You might be surprised who is low powered versus who is not.
Even in the big city there are many low powered TV stations that tend
to be ethnic, cultural or similar type of stations.

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.
