Maybe it is in the United States but in the UK or the Republic of ireland it is definitely not and for good reason because in most parts of the British Isles the UHF band is pretty jam packed already
In the UK theres
Five channels (on a bandplan originally designed around four) plus in many areas more than one TX is recievable
LOTS of relay transmitters
six DTT mltiplexes
RSL/LPTV (NVTV and Channel 9)
Overspill from the Republic

In the Republic theres
Overspill from the UK
TV3 TG4 and (in some areas) RTE1 and 2
Quite a few relays
Deflectors

In both countries theres also "taboo channels" +/- one five and nine also Channels 36 38 and 69 are reserved for non broadcast use

Even if you think youve found a "clear" channel it may be carrying DTT or your neighbours might be using it for watching cross-border TV (which you wont see unless you have a booster and high gain aerial)

Offically, you need a broadcasting licence from the Commission for Communications Regulation to transmit television. These are only given out to RTÉ and the BCI...

There are these "video senders", but they are indoor, very short range and not I suspect what you are looking for.

I'm going to close this thread.
