I’m making some updates to the ATSC dtv-scan-tables. Two questions:

1)
Why do we have "us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB” *and* 
"us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB”? They appear to be identical. The later 
could, theoretically, list NTSC encoded channels instead of 8VSB, but doesn’t 
actually do that. Suggest removing it?

2)
A number of the channel listings in those files have not been used for 
television use for several years now. Specifically channels 2 to 6 and 
everything from 51 and up were long ago sold off to cell phone use.

Additionally, channel 37 was *never* used, at least in the US and Canada, 
because it interfered with radio astronomy (IIRC it was sitting on one of the 
Lyman lines).

Since scanning through all of these channels will no longer work, perhaps it 
would be time to remove them? It reduces the total scan list from 80 channels 
to only 45, and would greatly improve scan times.--
