One of the nice side benefits to the switch to ATSC is that most stations moved to UHF. Now if they would only get rid of the silly fake "channel" numbers left over from the old days.

I hear ya. The broadcasters did not want to "give up" their incumbent channel listings even though in some markets, they marketed (and still do) their primary cable channel listings. Plus there was the baggage of UHF being "inferior". PSIP remapping has IMHO caused more issues than solved by the silly remapping scheme.
