Talk:Television channel frequencies

message: This article is totally wrong by obsolescence.  MUST be deleted or kept renamed 'past history of television allocations' and a new one created titled 2021 U.S.A. digital television channels and frequencies and for each region to allow other regions create their own separate articles instead of one single disaster with nothing updated.
The current year 2021 channels and their corresponding radiofrequencies should be listed with real references, ignoring the arbitrary virtual naming.  Externet2605:A000:7FC0:25:4D3A:77A6:FF3:A4B9 (talk) 02:00, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

message: The ATSC carrier frequencies listed in the US UHF tables are wrong.  They should only have 0.31MHz offset from the lower edge and they show 1.31 MHz in the tables.  BEWARE!!  December 3, 2010  66.218.211.100 (talk) 17:11, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong ATSC frequencies

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

message: I noticed that the list of British VHF channel frequencies states that it was discontinued in 1985. Shouldn't there be a list of the new frequencies? Or was the entire VHF band discontinued altogether? --Kyle1081 (talk) 18:39, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: VHF has not been used for TV in the UK since the 1985 shutdown of the 405-line television system. Band I got reused for private radio links, Band II is used for FM radio (and has been since about 1955), Band III was originally used for PMR, I think some of it still is, but there are now several broadcast DAB radio multiplexes in operation across the country. The UK's analogue 625-line colour TV system was only ever on UHF, but that has now been shut down and the channels reused for DVB-T digital TV. Steve Hosgood (talk) 11:15, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Links that take Wikipedia visitors off the Wikipedia site need to be in their own section to make this fact clear.  Wikipedia is not a search engine. The fact that links within an article are within Wikipedia's name space is implied.  Links underneath a section entitled "External Links" (or similar) are the exception.  (This practice seems to prevail in WP articles -- though I do not know if it is a formal WP policy.  It does, however, protect WP visitors which serves WP's interests indirectly. Of course, the practice also serves WP interests directly, as it ought to).

thread_title:  Use of "See Also" 

message: Would it be OK to include a column in most of the tables here for the Centre Of Band?  When looking at spectral masks, for example, it's fairly common to refer to the frequency by the centre.  And with Whitespace use of these channels coming soon, any particular carrier in these bands is not so relevant. 212.44.19.5 (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Centre of band? 

message: With the old analog systems, I seem to remember channels being allocated with adjacent numbers available in the same area.  Can we confirm this and add to the article something like "unlike FM radio, television stations in the same area can be assigned to adjacent channels without interference"? -- Beland (talk) 17:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That might be true for the US, but in Italy and Slovenia, I've seen adjacent channels used in the same area, and in Italy, even on the same transmitter.  - OBrasilo (talk) 20:40, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
