No, there are lots of digital over-the-air stations.  It's possible
for digital channels to have mulitple subchannels.


  Here, I get six analog stations (well, five, one is broken).
Several of them have three or four digital sub-channels.  They all
show the HD version of the network, often have a SD version of network
on digital, plus another channel or two.  One of those is often a
weather map.
