Yes. In the US, each station has a channel, and that's the channel it comes in on every TV set. Each 'typical' broadcast frequency is hardlinked to a particular channel number. And typically, it's not 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 either, but something like: 9-11-24-32-41-42-43-44-66-67-etc.
Here locally, FOX is on on channel 66. That's it. you don't have the option to assign it to channel 2, or whatever. (Not with a normal TV, at least)
channel 3 and 4 are reserved for VCR over RF.... Meaning that if you wish to watch a video tape, you'll have to switch your TV to channel 3 on the TV and hit a TV/VCR button on the remote to view it. (Unlike SCART, which will play and output to your screen regardless of what you were watching, often automatically as soon as you insert a tape)
alternatively, if your VCR/DVD/whatever is hooked up by S-video, HDMI or RCA, you'll have to manually switch the input source from RF to the other medium...
Personally I prefer SCART, the US setup seems really archaic by comparison.
