hi


As I understand it-- there will be (more, or less), no TV signals in
the LOW vhf (Channel 2-6), there will be some in the High (Ch 7-13 vhf),
and the bulk of the NEW High Def stations will be in the uhf rangeCh 14,




That is NOT correct. our local ABC affiliate is currently on channel 56
UHF and will be reverting to channel 5 VHF in Feb 2009. (at least that's
what they are telling us)


Document http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_publi...C-07-138A2.xls
is an 1800-record spreadsheet listing the current and proposed channels. Do
what I did and sort it on the NEW DTV channel numbers. You will discover,
as I did, that only a few dozen stations were headed for low-VHF after
transition.

Here are the actual numbers (after the sort):

Records 1 to 37 are on TV Channels 2 - 6
Records 38 to 487 are on TV channels 7 - 13
Records 488 to 1811 are on TV channels 14 - 51

http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_publi...C-07-138A3.xls appears
to be a minor supplement to the big guy, having only 16 records:

Records 1 is on TV Channels 2 - 6
Records 2 to 5 are on TV channels 7 - 13
Records 6 to 13 are on TV channels 14 - 51

Trying to nail this down any better is like trying to nail Jello to the
wall.
