      EV>According to the website TVFOOL.COM the Over The Air Digital TV Channel       EV>21.1 is a Virtual frequency, and is Transmitted on the Real Channel 8 .              EV>I was thinking Channel 21 was UHF until I read that the other day.              EV>Channel 8 is VHF as far as my thinking processes goes from what I read       EV>about TV Channels in books that I have here.              EV>Channel 8 is between 180-186 Megacycles,       EV>Channel 21 is (was?) between 512-518 Megacycles,       EV>according to a book printed in 1959.              EV>That seem to me to mean I would need a VHF TV Antenna instead of UHF.              EV>Is that how You think also?              The Main Station frequency sub channels are Multiplexed on the main       carrier. They do also typically use the main channel number followed by       .1, .2 etc. In the case you are talking about I suspect they could be       Retransmitting the UHF Channel 21 along with their main channel.              The standard digital TV channel bandwidth is capable of containing       more then one video channel. the number being based on the Resolution       of the channels. As an example if the main carrier is a 16:9 720P signal       there can be Five 4:3 480i channels also transmitted.              ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ 0         * Origin: Check Out Doc's QWK Mail Via Web BBS > DocsPlace.org (1:123/140)    |
