On February 19th all the OTA stations are going to move.  Around here, 
several of the digital stations will occupy their old analog channels. 
The new DTV channels will be 7-51 and I think most stations that are 
above 7 will move their DTV signals to their old analog locations so you 
may still get interference.  Probably be different and perhaps not as 
objectionable.

In terms of re-wiring your house.  You may be able to do it all on 
outside walls under the eves or along the foundation and drill through 
the walls to get inside.  That is what an cable installer would do.
