Channels T-7 through T-14 are sub-band channels and are not used for normal television channel
distribution. These channels are used for sending video back to the cable television headend
, such as by public-access television stations on a cable tv system. They are also used by cable modems for sending upstream data to the headend
's CMTS.
Cable channels 2 through 13 operate on the same frequencies as broadcast
television (the VHF band).
Channels 100 to 125 can be used by analog
cable systems, but frequency
allocation is often inconsistent and not all televisions and VCRs can pick them up.
Digital
cable channels are often numbered starting at 100 or 200, but these are virtual channel
numbers and do not correspond to particular frequencies.
