Unfortunately the one station on two through six, is our local ABC
affiliate Ch 5, WOI-DT....their signal is going to go into the toilet,
running low power on the vhf low band. (also, most modest to largish TV
antennas have very low gain and a lousy pattern (horrible for
multi-path)on Ch 5 and below. Go figure!


Multipath isn't necessarily a big deal for DTV. The usual receiver has
an adaptive equalizer that deals with it quite nicely, particularly if
the multipath environment is stable. Throw in doppler and fast fading,
and they're not so hot, but that's not a real issue for consumer
residential use.
