I seriouly doubt that any of us have such an animal. I have tuner cards, fancy USB connected tuners, and Slingplayer as well as ordinary TVs and VHS tape machines with tuners that are all interfaced and none has any mention of actual TV frequencies. I'm only pressing for technical clarity in what he needs or asked. His context was stated as within VLC, and frequency domain signals are NOT there. He seems to need a mental or physical image of the block diagram for getting various data types fed to VLC and to determine which block and interfaace is in question.
