While there is a government discount coupon program to give these kinds of people a digital tuner converter box, that coupon doesn't give them a proper antenna. A UHF "bowtie" or "loop" antenna won't get them many channels.

Why wouldn't an antenna that works with a TV that is less than 15 years old not work with a digital converter? Do you have any links?

Unless you are meaning that instead of getting a fuzzy picture with an antenna,they'll get nothing?
