Channel Set
Why can I get Channel 68 on one television set and not the other?

We have two television sets on cable. The set downstairs is about eight years old, gets a bunch of channels, including channel 68. The upstairs television is BRAND NEW, and will not get channel 68. Why should there be a difference? On cable, shouldn't we get the same channels on both televisions?

The FCC regulates which broadcast frequencies TV stations can use and and requires TVs to be able to tune all of those frequencies/channels, but the cable channel frequencies are not regulated by the FCC and some TV manufacturers only provide the capability to tune the cable channel range that is most common instead of providing the capability to tune the very highest range of channels that only a small number of cable systems use.

With digital cable being used for more and more channels these days, the number of analog channels (that a TV can tune without a cable box) being broadcast by the cable companies is getting smaller, so newer TVs are even less likely to support the less common higher range of cable channels.

Incidents of fraud in the memory channel appear to be on the rise as surging prices make it an increasingly attractive target for criminals.
