jumping to channel 5 By Chilly Craps Have you ever wondered why are there Channel 5 and 8 in Singapore's TV station list, but no 1-4, and where's 6 and 7? I thought they are so advanced they start counting from 5. So recently I got this question answered. It's actually an international standard for Very High Frequency (VHF) broadcasting. The channels start with 2 (yes, 2, not 1) at 54 MHz, up to channel 13 at 216 MHz, each channel having a bandwidth of 6 MHz. Then it will continue to UHF (unrelated to UHT milk) with channel 14 at 470 MHz and channel 69 at 806 MHz. If you bother to do the maths, you can calculate what is the frequencies MediaCorp is broadcasting at for its channels. Come to think of it, why didn't they name the channels with a name instead of numbers here? This intel first appeared on: http://www.chillycraps.com/2009/02/jumping-to-channel-5.html
