DTV_FREQUENCY
=============
-Central frequency of the channel.
+Frequency of the digital TV transponder/channel.
-Notes:
+.. note::
+
+ #. For satellite delivery systems, the frequency is in kHz.
+
+ #. For cable and terrestrial delivery systems, the frequency is in
+ Hz.
-1)For satellite delivery systems, it is measured in kHz. For the other
-ones, it is measured in Hz.
+ #. On most delivery systems, the frequency is the center frequency
+ of the transponder/channel. The exception is for ISDB-T, where
+ the main carrier has a 1/7 offset from the center.
-2)For ISDB-T, the channels are usually transmitted with an offset of
-143kHz. E.g. a valid frequency could be 474143 kHz. The stepping is
-bound to the bandwidth of the channel which is 6MHz.
+ #. For ISDB-T, the channels are usually transmitted with an offset of
+ about 143kHz. E.g. a valid frequency could be 474,143 kHz. The
+ stepping is bound to the bandwidth of the channel which is
+ typically 6MHz.
-3)As in ISDB-Tsb the channel consists of only one or three segments the
-frequency step is 429kHz, 3*429 respectively. As for ISDB-T the central
-frequency of the channel is expected.
+ #. In ISDB-Tsb, the channel consists of only one or three segments the
+ frequency step is 429kHz, 3*429 respectively.
