Well, you'll probably get a better picture, but I'm not so sure about
more channels. According to the mapper on antennaweb.org I can get like
a dozen analog stations now with a suitable antenna, but only two are
DTV. It's similar at my mothers house where analog reception is greater
than DTV, at least according to current maps. I'll see once I get my
converter boxes and start testing.
