Yes, indeed, that will work, too. The true channel numbers, if you are trying to cut an antenna for the right frequency, are a complete muddle at this point. The digital channels all specify "channel numbers" in the broadcast stream which reflect their original "RF broadcast channel". The only DTV stations still broadcasting on their original channels are 7 and 13, every other station identifies as one channel but broadcasts on another channel at a different frequency. The TV tuners sort it all out.
