The NES, DTV boxes and TV are all US market. The Japanese marker version of the NES (called the Famicom) looks wildly different from the US market version to the point that side by side you wouldn't think in your wildest dreams that they were the same device. Japan also uses an incompatible DTV standard so a Japanese DTV converter wouldn't reciever anything in the USA.
Also Japanese low band VHF channels are off a country mile from US channels. The North American VHF band goes CH2-6(54-88MHz), 88-108MHz FM radio, some public service 2-way stuff, CH7-13(174-216MHz).
The Japanese VHF band went FM radio 76-90MHz (IIRC), CH1-3(90-108MHz), other things, CH4-12 (170-222MHz)...So the lowest frequency overlap would be US ch7 which mostly overlaps Japanese cut and a bit of the top of CH4.
Having seen Japanese VCRs (and owning a recently imported used Japanese domestic market ED-BETAMAX) I can tell you that most Japanese market VCRs and games use Japanese CH1 or 2...Which are both squarely in the US FM band....US CH6 fine tuning MIGHT be able to get japanese CH1 in some cases.
