Talk:Television channel frequencies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

True or false: this table can be extrapolated all the way to channel 69. 66.32.244.69 01:29, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I always thought all TV channels are on a number from 2 to 69. For example, the Atlanta TV template goes from 2 to 69. But this goes all the way to 83. 66.32.244.69 02:13, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

TV channels in North America above 69 were reallocated to the cellular telephone service (you can actually hear cell calls on old TV sets if you tune up there). These channels were never popular for broadcasting anyway. In the US I believe the FCC is trying to reallocate the VHF television channels some day...--Wtshymanski 16:30, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

so that's why my old 1985 Granada TV used to pick up taxi cab dispatch information on Channels 78-83 (i found Ch. 81 was the clearest for spying...muwahahaha :D ). The Legendary RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 20:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Question: Can anyone verify the Chinese UHF channel listing? Compared to http://stjarnhimlen.se/tv/tv.html#worldwide_0 the listing in the wikipedia article is off by +2 MHz starting at channel C25.--Stevotower 22:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion: Shouldn't French overseas/etc and Cote d'Ivoire be merged since they use the same system and common channels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CXGY (talk • contribs) 20:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

This article needs to be updated to show where digital TV channels fit in. For example, are 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 really in the vicinity of analog channel 9, or are they really on associated UHF frequencies somewhere? From reading the articles on digital TV, I got the impression that the latter could be the case. I haven't found a source for this information, and it is necessary in order to know what kind of antenna to put up. Palmpilot900 (talk) 03:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I found some information for the U.S.A. and added it to the article on the DTV transition. Palmpilot900 (talk) 19:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
