1 edit | Interesting...... 10 years ago or so a friend of mine said he had a 1000 channel SONY CABLE READY TV and he scanned above 100 all the way and he found some interesting things!
140 - Test pattern
And when he hit the 800s he heard music on about 30 or so of them.......
Has anyone else ever explored the analog side above 100 and if so,what did you find,how high did you scan? | |

So I don't what your friend saw as most tuners in TVs stop at 870, 750, or lower Mhz and 10 years ago digital tuners didn't exist in TVs. | |

EN22wm | So he had a digital TV...
pretty common these days... You will find anything that is not encrypted such as music choice and public access channels... | |

| Yeah and 10 years ago I highly doubt any TV had a 1 GHz tuner, or cable system had a 1 GHz plant.
But today, theres a few 1 GHz plants, although not the norm. Also with a digital tuner, it can interpret PSIP data embedded into the stream. This data can make the channel appear on any number they want.
Say, 95-2302.
Or 800-1.
24-2191
135-1
etc.. | |
