The number of OTA users will go up but the percentage of all with HD
content will go down. When the dust settles it will be 2%. This will
represent those who both want HD and only want to receive it OTA.

A lot of people will want to receive TV OTA but that demand will be
filled more and more by new broadcasters using other spectrum like
channels above 51 and wireless broadband.

Opps! Forgot, should include present TV spectrum below 51 also since
WiFi and its cousins will be allowed to use that spectrum also with
smart radios.

To be absolutely clear: these numbers refer households actually watching
HDTV. Not just owning an HD-capable set.
