Yes. Most antenna mfrs are building antennas designed for channels
7-13 plus UHF. It's getting hard to find an antenna that covers 2-6
or FM.
One practical note: I'm roughly 45 miles from my local stations, one
of which is on Ch 10 now with digital and will be on 8 after the
transition. My 8-bow tie UHF-only is quite solid on the guy on Ch
10. YMMV. I get fades on all the UHF digitals. I'm hoping they'll
add a few dB after the transition and make that solid.
