I would appreciate either a copy of the various FM frequencies used for TV VHF and the low 30 or so cable channels, or a pointer to a source where I can look them up. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out (1) where on the FM dial I might turn a stereo radio receiver to to pick up VHF ch 4, the local NBC station. (I have a unit I bought in Japan that goes from 76 to 108, but I haven't been able to find ch 4 on it.) (2) what cable channels I'm likely to be able to pick up by twiddling my VH and VL band adjustments in a not-quite-cable-ready TV. I'm hoping to find ch 32 (VH1) in there somewhere. Please reply by mail, as I don't get this newsgroup normally. Thanks, and sorry if this is an old question. Mark

Cable TV channels 2 to 13 are on the same frequencies as over-the-air channels 2 to 13. Cable channels 14 and up are on lower frequencies than over-the-air (UHF) channels 14 and up. As the chart below shows, cable channel 22 is adjacent and just below channel 7. Also, channel 23 is adjacent and just above channel 13. With most non-cable-ready TV sets, you should be able to adjust the fine tuning on 7 and 13 to get cable channels 22 and 23. Have fun. CHANNEL FREQUENCIES CABLE FREQ (MHz) CHANNEL 54-60 2 60-66 3 66-72 4 76-82 5 82-88 6 174-180 7 180-186 8 186-192 9 192-198 10 198-204 11 204-210 12 210-216 13 120-126 14 126-132 15 132-138 16 138-144 17 144-150 18 150-156 19 156-162 20 162-168 21 168-174 22 216-222 23 222-228 24 228-234 25 234-240 26 240-246 27 246-252 28 252-258 29 258-264 30 264-270 31 270-276 32 276-282 33 282-288 34 288-294 35 294-300 36 By the way, RFI means Radio Frequency Interference, which I doubt you are interested in listening to on your receiver. -- \\\ \\\\ Art Stadlin \\\\\\________!{akgua,ihnp4,houxm}!mtx5a!ahs
