I know this is not the point you were trying to make but those unused UHF
channels are now being used for local HDTV transmission. Each local channel
now has several UHF channels assigned to it for HDTV. Each local channel
here in the Raleigh, NC area has 3 to 5 assignments of UHF channels for
HDTV. There is actually very little unused spectrum available now in the
UHF channel range.
