Many, many years ago I heard it was the IF of the RF receiver, which assumes that all TVs use the same IF, which AIUI was a reasonable assumption.

In the very early days they used to monitor the HUGE em pulse given off by the collapse of the magnetic field in the scanning coils during line flyback time. >Mind you, I think there are new receiver technologies >nowadays.

Natalie certainly used to at least as attractive as Kylie (and much more to my personal taste, too). My ex-gf used to know her, and said that she literally stopped traffic when she walked along Notting Hill. -- Champ We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.
