emisiones televisivas
the text is about providing TV and Internet broadcasting services, but unfortunately I can't quote from it as it's confidential. However this is an explanation I received from the person handling the job:
"Los diales de la TV son como los diales de la radio. Es la cifra donde se situa esa emisora de radio o canal de TV. Si buscas los canales de TV en la TDT, verás que cada uno se situa en un número diferente: 24, 27... Digamos que es su situación dentro del sistema de canales. en las radios antiguas aparecen unos números y tienes que situar la aguja allí para oír una emisora. En los televisores antiguos ocurría lo mismo."
Many thanks in advance.

: Not disagreeing with you, and this is the literal translation, but we don't have any context - and have TVs ever had dials?

: TVs did literally have tuning dials long ago; hence the expression "Don't touch that dial!" (don't switch channels during the ad break). Clearly frequencies here. In John's source a dial means a station and its corresponding frequency.
