"Ian Jackson"

The UK used Ch36 (tuneable +/- two or three using a small screwdriver or
trimming tool).

** Cos unlike Australia, all colour TV in the UK was on UHF.


Actually, I see that Australia used the same,


** Absolutely NOT true.

A tiny few ( AFAIK only Sony ) VCRs sold in Australia used Ch 36


so I don't know why even an old 'VHF-only' type of TV should be 'specially
equipped' to receive only Ch28 (527.25MHz).


** You don't know the "why" of any damn thing.

Ch 28 ( a government sponsored channel ) was the only UHF channel on air in
Australian capital cities for many years.
