Many radios for the US market has not only the AM and FM bands but
they also have the TV band.
Can anyone explain what is the TV band ?
Can you hear to television broadcasts in that band ?
If so, could it work in Italy too ?

If you have analog TV broadcasts on Band I and/or Band III, yes, you
should be able to listen to TV broadcasts in Italy with these radios.
They usually don't receive UHF broadcasts.

It should also be noted they don't get *digital* TV broadcasts. Here in
the USA, analog TV is to be shut down in 18 months, so the "TV band"
function of these radios will stop working in February 2009. (actually
the radio will still work, but there will be no stations to listen to!)
