Subject: Re: TV -> D-Sub converter possible?
Somewher I ahve a list of the UK channel numbers and their frequencies...
I presume you are talking about the old analogue signal ones - which aren't
broadcasting in my area anymore.
My (Bush) Freeview box that allows me to watch digital (freeview) channels
on my non-digital TV. (Aerial into back of box, scart lead from box into
back of scart socket on my TV). I can view the UHF frequency for each
channel by simply going to the "channel organiser" menu (it allows me to
switch the order in which the channels are listed). What I find quite weird
is that despite multiple channels being able to broadcast on the same UHF
frequency, it varies from 29 (ITV3, 5* and 5 USA) to 61 (BBC1 and BBC2).
Admittedly, I'm only getting "118 installed channels" (including radio
stations), but surely it could have organised it much better?
Even worse is that I have to re-tune on a regular basis (e.g. once a month)
to receive new channels (not so surprising), ones that have moved (what
the?!) or shut down completely (clearly not popular enough to make money for
the channel provider).
