Our discontinued channel 0 is a little bit below what most standard European tuners will tune. Channels 3, 4 and 5 were between 88-108MHz and were discontinued to make way for FM radio.
Now that analog has been switched off the lowest channel in use is VHF 6.

Our FM band, as well as aircraft and public service bands are located between USA channels 6&7. When they discontinued analog TV broadcast, none of the digital channels are on the low VHF TV band. Here the only digital channel, on VHF high band is the public TV channel 10, which is really, VHF channel 11.
