Local HD Channels/OTA Antenna

I see where my local market will be receiving local channels in HD by the end of 2008. Here's my question... today I receive locals in HD via an OTA antenna. I get my locals in SD via DTV. For example channel 43 (SD) and channel 43-1 (HD). When DTV starts broadcasting channel 43 in HD, do I need to disconnect my antenna? (I like having this as a backup... sorry to say, sometimes the antenna does a better job during heavy rainstorms than the dish in receiving a signal). If I don't disconnect the antenna, I will still have channels 43, 43-1... what channel number will DTV use for this HD channel?
