You are right.

clearly labelled Ch. 33
Mostly. Here's a picture of one that is clearly labelled
"Ch. 32-34 TV INTERFRACE UNIT"
So, I might even have had one that was on ch. 34?

3 clicks left of KICU, which was 2 clicks left of the 24/7 speed-freak
preacher dude. (UHF tuners were actually usually an analog knob, without

I set up a few for friends, but I never used one; in college, I had done a
fair amount of playing with Sony CV series and AV series reel to reel
consumer video recorders, and I had a Sony 11"? monitor/TV, and some CCTV
monitors.
The presence of that 4 pin Berg connector was the quickest way to
recognize/identify CGA video cards, disunirregardless of manufacturer.
(The 12 pin (2x6, keyed) connector mid-board is the identifying element of
the Compaq video)
