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.

What is happening is that many TV stations have been assigned a
channel on which to broadcast their new DTV signal prior to Feb. 17,
2009 while at the same time remain broadcasting their NTSC video on
their original channel. The chart shows these two channel designations
in the first two channel columns, and in the last column it shows what
channel the TV station will end up on when Feb. 17 comes around. As
indicated, some stations will be moving their DTV broadcast from the
temporary channel assignment back to their original NTSC channel
assignment, and some stations will remain broadcasting the DTV signal
on the temporary channel, which becomes their new permanent channel.
