Here in Austria we have 2 national stations and several local ones that are available on cable only. The 2 national ones are almost commercial-free (only short blocks between movies in the evening), but you have to pay for them (actually you have to pay for setting up a TV here, about 15 Euro/month, no matter if you have an antenna or not). The " national stations are ORF 1 (VHF channel 1, already answers Sven's question) and ORF 2 (UHF channel 36 IIRC). So people who only have an antenna can watch 1&2, people who want more need cable TV (ca. 150 Euro/year) or a satellite dish (cost slightly more than 1 year of cable TV). ORF 2 interferes with many video recorders that are preset to UHF 38.
