Chuck, VLC can play data coming from the file system, from the network, or acquired from a TV or Radio Tuner. For the latter, it can use a device tuned by an external program, or allows you to tune it by entering a desired frequency. The original poster was asking (maybe too briefly) what frequencies correspond to certain channels so he can tune is RF receiver to those channels.
