Not entirely... I think some areas do have some low-power UHF analog stations still operating. I was recently connecting a mid-90's set for a friend using a digital set-top box. Just for giggles, I ran the TV tuner thru the auto-program function prior to connecting the digital box. I was surprised to find a station tuned in somewhere around channel 14 or 15. The picture was snowy, so it was either distant from somewhere like Houston, or it was a low-power local to our area. In either case, it was there. I'm kinda curious to find out exactly what it was.

Also, some set top boxes for Dish or Direct will operate on a UHF channel. The Dish box i use can be picked up on analog channel 67. That could be desirable for a roundie since many of the last roundies used transistors in the UHF tuner instead of tubes.
