Do you have a digital tuners?
From what I understand lots of channels are going to shuffle around, as an
example here channel 13 has 13 analog, and 23 digital (13.1/13.2), on the
transition 23 digital will go away, and will be moved to where 13 analog was and
13 analog goes away, and that happens with most of the channels, some of the
channels won't be swapping but continue to use their new digital channel (either
by choice, or because their original channel is in the range that is going to be
used elsewhere by the FCC).
Someplace I found a website that actually shows the plan for every metro area's
stations.
