I just bought one of those cheap cellphones that have a digital tv tuners built into them.  

It has just one setting "central frequency" and wants a 6 digit number in khz???? 


Anyone know how to set it up?

thanks

Dane

If the handset is using VHF/UHF it will work, if using DVB-H it won't.

There are cheap phones from china with both dvb-t and analog tuners in them, dvb is useless here but the analog ones work ok, if you are happy with their lack of widescreen modes meaning that the picture is distorted, and that the reception is useless because its all on VHF then they are fine...
