I can see this being a real problem for local stations, especially in rural areas where cable hits only a limited area.

As for me, I am still 100% over-the-air analog, and plan to be when the end comes. Looks like I have a couple years to find some deals on digital decoders.
satellite TV such as dish network or direcTV has a shitload of locals that come down the dish.

but the FCC rulled no distant locals, so if your caught in between local markets, your screwed.
