There are a couple others more informed than me (maybe brent p. and dattier)
and I tried to keep up to date.

Anyway, no, get the combo. If you go uhf only, at some point you'll have to
change it out.

Right now, except for 2, which uses 3 for the digital, all the others (even
5,7,9,11) are on the uhf for digital (chicago).

At some point after the 2/09 cutoff date, some of them are moving back to
vhf. Not all but some.

There is a chart someone posted from the FCC showing the current channels,
where they are at now and after when analog is pulled. And sure as shit,
here in Chicago, some will go back to vhf for digital.

I know you were out in the sticks somewhere so it may not apply so I'm sure
whoever had that link will repost it. There are quite a few moving from uhf
to vhf around the country so likely you'll be effected in some way.
