NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all as-
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
and radio broadcasts are transmitted through a single fre-
quency.The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called
transponder. Toreduce confusion, the word service is prefer-
ably used than channel as service indicates one television or
radiobroadcast in this manual.
