FM TV can look much nicer than AM NTSC, and there are inexpensive synthesized transmitter and receiver boards available from a Web site called hampubs.com (under $100 each if I remember). They operate on the 900 MHz and higher bands; FM TV is too wide a signal to be used on the lower-frequency ham bands.

Also, when you need an amplifier for FM TV, any "class C" one will work fine, so things are less picky than when setting up an AM ATV station.

FM video is used for videotape, like that used in VCRs. Ham FM video might use chips intended for converting analog baseband video to FM to the tape head, and from the tape head back to analog baseband video.
