They're doing it here in Houston too - There's two PBS channels 9.1
HDTV and 9.2 SD, usually with a different schedule (same as analogue
8). KHOU occupies 11.1 to 11.3, one HDTV and two SD channels. There
are a couple of other channels who do likewise, but I can't remember
them off the top of my head.
