I use a VHF/UHF black and white televion. No cable. (Way to expensive!)

Can someone please give me a list of all of the channels/Stations I
should be able to pick up in the Queens/NY area? Including other near
by states that broadcast to NY?

I turn on the TV this evening and while turning the channels I noticed
channel 25 came in very clear.

I am not familier with this channel 25. As I am watching it while I
type this, I am waiting for station identification. But because they
are broadcasting from live Times Square, I have not heard station ID as
of yet.

Well, I hope free TV continues in the future!

I find that those color TV's do not work well unless you have cable
connected to them. Then you have to pay for it!

I do not mind watching a black & white TV with VHF/UHF like radio
reception. But it is hard to find a nice size black & white TV these
days.

I still use my less than 10" screen Zenith. On it I mainly watch PBS &
BBC. I am curious to know all of the different channels I could pick
up. And I hope that free VHF/UHF TV will continue.

On my larger color Toshiba TV, I mainly use it for my DVD & VCR.

Just to mention, when those first color VHF/UHF TV came out sometime in
the 1970's, you always had to adjust the colors. Then after a few years
the colors would bleed and the whole TV was totally mess up!

In the future I would like to buy a HDTV and use it for Playstation 2.

Can HDTV work without cable? And do they still make larger then 10"
screen black & white TV?

Those were the good old days!

Channel 1 is a fed govt tv channel.(Correct me if I am mistaken about
that) If or when the s..t hits the fan big time,that is the only tv
channel that we can get on our tv sets.

Channel 1 has never actually existed. It was originally a designated
television channel, but was done away with and given to other services
before television ever actually started broadcasting (48-50 MHz is VHF low
band public service frequencies (police/fire/ambulance) and cordless phones,
baby monitors and other Part 15 devices. 50-54 MHz is the Amateur 6 meter
band.

I think the problem with channel 1 had something to do with skywave
interference-channel 1 easily bounced off the ionosphere and caused
interference in the form of one channel 1 station interfering with
another one a thousand miles away. That can happen above 54 Mhz, but the
conditions are more rare, such as E Skip. There were actually 2 or 3
licensed channel 1's, and a number of early (1945-47) TV sets were made
with channel 1-I once owned an Airline (sold by Montgomery Ward) TV made
in 1947 or so that had channel 1. That particular set was actually made
by Hallicrafters. I believe there is a Channel 0 in Australia-can
anybody confirm this?

I own an old General Electric table model tv set I bought for $5.00 at a
Salvation Army thrift store about five years ago.The tv set was
manufactured in 1957.I just now went to one of my junk rooms in my house
and I took a look at it.The tv channel selector knob does have channel 1
on it.

Channel-1 was part of the original Armstrong FM band.

The Armstrong FM band was 42-50 Mhz, IIRC.

I remember a few years ago on channel 13 (PBS), sometimes they would
give these old government program to educate the public (probably from
the early 1970's) about illegal drugs. It was on late at night. The
footage was done on film not video, and the audio was badly worpped.

The program would often have a doctor explaining how dangerous illegal
drugs were, and he would show awful photographs of people.

Does anyone remembers these programs? When did day started to put them
on TV? Why did they stop playing them on TV? Who made them? Who
sponsored them? What there they called? Were they played throughout
the US?

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

I especially like those old World War Two informational and World War
Two training movies and and World War Two era movies with actual combat
footage in them.I should see about collecting some of them.
