It was kind of a wash for me. I hooked up the converter a while back before the switch over and got the same basic channels plus a few new sub-channels. After rescanning I got the same ones I think. At least the ones I watched anyway.

We usually use the satellite box for main TVs but have one in the Master bedroom that we watch the local news before bed. We have another in the screened porch that we can watch either a repeater of the satellite or local OTA channels. Again, most of it really isn't worth watching, but sometimes the local news is of interest especially for the local stuff.
