The above tabs lead to list with the ( Real ) center radio Frequency Channels according to the FCC assigned
frequencies in numeric order; beginning with the lowest RF channel two ( 2 ) and ending at RF channel 51
(Because that's as far as they currently go since the change from analog over to digital .)
Rather than repeat the entire licensed ranges only the center frequency for a particular TV RF channel is
listed; the same center frequencies per channel can be found in a DTV/PAL TV/DTV Receiver.
Manually add channels
These RF Channel numbers are the ones needed when manually adding channels.
If you are searching for a particular icon TV channel or TV service "The Channel number a station is known by"; use
this Digital TV Station Channels link and then select the desired channel for more info, this leads to
the correct RF channel on the right pane of received stations, used to scan for a selected station service
that can then be added to your Digital TV channel list.
The virtual channel number you see on those links are most likely the old channel
number the station had before the change to digital video format; they do this
for the sake of maintaining Station ID clarity to loyal viewers from time past.
RF channel number and virtual number
For Some stations the RF channel number and virtual channel number can be; one and the same.
Unlike the Real RF Channels that only go as high as 51, Virtual channels go to 69 and could go higher but so far I have
seen but one and that was Channel 70 and a matter of the DTV unit default under circumstances not widely accruing.
You can read more on this odd Channel 70 and see an example by visiting this No_Channel_70_TV_Stations. link .
Don't be Confuse by the numbers
When scanning for and adding channels; a stations RF Channel number can
sometimes temporarily register in place of the virtual or icon channel number or
as a default figure on some units (possibly Digits on the progress bar), due to a weak
signal, interference or simply because you scanned during station maintenance
when for what ever reason the replacement channel number wasn't sent.
Don't let this confuse you if something happens, this is a rare occurrence where cause and effect can even vary
between converter boxes, correct channel numbers often reappear at a later time either on their own or
after channel and or a fresh overall new scan.
Pointing your antenna more direct toward the station during a can to add channels,
can aid in getting it right the first time around.
At times a weak signal or interference could possibly play tricks on the TV numbers and reception, the
signal could improve in days to come; especially if you happened to have scanned
during extreme cloud coverage or other severe weather conditions the first time around.
