Default Re: Hedghog standards converter

625 VHF was not broadcast in the UK.
However,
when UHF transmissions, beginning with BBC2 started, it was the practice to frequency-convert the UHF signals to unused VHF channels in blocks of flats where the existing cabling was too lossy for UHF, so a 625 UHF/VHF set was quite handy, but more often it was a dual standard set modified so that the VHF tuner was active on both standards.

Another option was to use a converter box, the Labgear Televerta with a single-standard 625/UHF set
