Most if not all of DTV broadcasting is between channels 7-51 now (VHF hi and UHF). I know there's a few LPTV stations broadcasting analog, but don't know of any that are on channel 5 or below.

Channels 2 through 6 are in FULL use by analog and digital broadcasters. Even though these lower frequencies are subject to noise and interference, they are still used across the country and in Canada.
Here is the current FCC list of stations on the air and with applications for licenses:
