Going by the chart, it would appear that all that will be left for OTA will be VHF 2-13 and UHF 21-29.

If stations are going to be repacked, how many subchannels can fit on one 6MHz channel without compromising resolution? As an example, I have a station in my area on PSIP 22 (=RF channel 11).
22.1 1080i
22.2 720p
22.3 480i

Another is PSIP 3 (=RF channel 33)
3.1 1080i
3.2 480i
3.3 480i
3.4 480i

These both sound pretty full up to me. Where are all the subchannels supposed to go?

I'm also guessing that this will pretty much make 4K broadcasting very difficult to implement.
