PRINTTV Channels (PAL BG/DK)
Channel rasters In Poland there is used PAL DK standard, with continuous numbering (e.g. after S8 we have S9). We have also presented PAL BG channels used mostly in Western European countries. In this case - in some countries - there is a leap in numbering between S8 and S11.
It is an important information for some installers that may be surprised by this irregularity, e.g. when programming output channels of modulators. The tip - it is more convenient to measure and compare frequencies than channel numbers. Below we show tables containing information on the bands, frequency ranges, and channels used in European countries.
