Very interesting, I am in the LA area, and my tuner captures all digital stations down to Ch 2, but none of the lower number channels has yet to be utilized. All of the normal VHF stations (Ch 2 - 13) have a previously assigned digital UHF channel, and this is where they transmit digital stations.
I did some research, and one website says that "most of our UHF antennas will capture high frequency VHF signals (Channels 7-13), we typically only recommend using VHF antennas to capture the low end of the VHF band (Channels 2-6)". This would explain why most of the low number channel assignments on the list in your link seem to be 7-13 (few in the Ch 2-6 range).
