Quest is a digital broadcast television network, and its exact channel number on "regular TV" (meaning over-the-air broadcast television) varies significantly depending on your specific geographic location. This is because Quest is typically carried as a digital subchannel by local affiliate stations across the United States.
A digital subchannel is identified by a primary channel number followed by a decimal point and a subchannel number (e.g., 46.5). The main channel (like 46) is the primary station, and the .5 indicates that Quest is one of the additional programming streams broadcast by that station.
