  3579.545...kHz is the color subcarrier frequency in the NTSC
  (analog) color television system which was used in the US and
  many other countries for both tube-type and solid-state
  receivers.  It is not used in current digital TV systems.

  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC for more than you ever
  wanted to know about NTSC.
