Except for satellite receivers, we don't use F

And the frequency for channel 3 depends from the country and broadcasting system. In
Germany it's at 55.25 MHz (video), in France at 60,50 MHz.
Yes, I understood the panoply of standards, and certainly the TV companies do, too.
It's perfectly possible they ship a TV that can handle the standards of a
few countries. After all, the frequencies aren't that different, and
the decoding is largely done in software these days. Inside your average
CD TV today are two boards, one the power supply, another whose chips
look pretty much like a PC motherboard.
