In Linux, VLC uses kHz for capturing from a TV tuner. Our cable provider 
uses VHF channels 4, 8, and 13 to feed video to our TVs. If my research 
is correct channel 13 is 211.25 mHz, or 211250 kHz. I haven't gotten it 
to work yet, which is why I wanted to be sure the frequency I am using 
is right.  I can view channel 13 on TVTime, so I know the tuner is 
working correctly.
