This is my poll on how people get HDTV. While it doesn't indicated any analog reception, It still shows a fairly high percentage of people who rely on OTA for a picture.

Unless you are meaning that instead of getting a fuzzy picture with an antenna,they'll get nothing?
Rabbit ears, and most roof top antenna's only pick up the VHF band of the TV signal, which is traditional analog. The digital UHF band requires a UHF antenna. Simple as that. While they MIGHT get SOME of the lower band UHF with existing VHF antenna, you want an UHF antenna for best results.
