Anyone have a URL of a chart of what the final HDTV freqs will finally be?

After viewing a dozen web pages from searches, I have more questions
than answers ... be nice to be able to plot a few different antennas.

I found this chart:
http://www.dtvprimer.com/DTVchannels.pdf
It looks correct for the few local HDTV stations, but is certainly
preliminary. No clue on the minor-channel layout as that's the
stations business, not the FCC's.

However, the actual channel number and the displayed channel number
might be different. See:
http://www.dtvprimer.com/freetv.html
in the section on PSIP (program and system info protocol) near the
bottom. If you understand what's happening, please let me know.

Incidentally, another wonderful feature of PSIP DCC (direct channel
change) is the ability to pre-record a collection of commericals in
the DVR, and later shove them in your face when you least want to see
them. Since many commercials are played over and over and over and
over again, why use valueable bandwidth sending them more than once?

Isn't technology wonderful?
