When the BFBS Television service first started in West Germany in 1975, it was broadcast as an analogue signal with the same vision/sound carrier frequency spacing as used in the UK. The German analogue system used a different vision/sound spacing and so could not be received properly by a German TV set as used by the local German population.

There was a small industry in modifying local TV sets to the UK spec so that they could receive BFBS - probably says a lot about the respective content quality of the German and UK television services.
Didn't AFN also have a TV service in Germany, but in NTSC/60 ? If so, quite a mod involved there !
