If 1 HD channel is the equivalent of 6 analog then why do we need channels 2 to 70 (or slightly higher) repeated again from 900 to 970+? Would that open up more space?

I also don't think those are actually repeated. They are just remapped there by the cable boxes that can receive both analog and digital. The version you see from channels 2 to 70 on a cable box is actually the digital copy of the analog channel.

And 1 analog channel is the equivalent of 6 SD channels. Or 1 analog is the equivalent of 1-2 HD channels.
