-	In order to be able receive a particular signal with your TV tuner device you will need to tune/set it to the correct radio [[frequency]] used by that source transmission. Therefore, you (or, at least, the viewing application you are using) will first want to know which frequencies are used for transmission and thereby ~~are~~ tunable ~~for~~ your receiver at your location ~~of residence~~. Frequency scanning utilities, listed below, perform such signal detection and, generally, provide a list of the frequencies upon which content is discovered, with which higher level applications can then in turn use for tuning purposes.	+	In order to be able receive a particular signal with your TV tuner device you will need to tune/set it to the correct radio [[frequency]] used by that source transmission. Therefore, you (or, at least, the viewing application you are using) will first want to know which frequencies are used for transmission and, thereby, may be tunable by your receiver at your residing location. Frequency scanning utilities, listed below, perform such signal detection and, generally, provide a list of the frequencies upon which content is discovered, with which higher level applications can then in turn use for tuning purposes.

	Note: Historically, the set of frequencies used under the older [[Analog TV\|analogue systems]] have differed from one another, meaning that the particular frequencies used across North America, Europe, Asia, etc., etc., will differ depending upon the transmission standard adopted within each nation. When countries began to make the transition to [[Digital Video Broadcasting\|digital TV systems]], most have opted to continue to use their old channel frequency schemes so as to make the switch from analog to digital systems as seamless as possible for the end user.
