The station search is mainly used in radios such as car radios . Some mobile phones , such as the Sony Ericsson K800 , also offer the option of receiving radio . There are also station searches in mobile navigation systems for TMC reception .
The station search for aerial television , cable television and / or satellite television is also available in television receivers or in corresponding receivers ( digital receivers , satellite television receivers ) .

Technically, a device differentiates between background noise and actual transmission frequencies.
