What people may not know, is that most TV's and VCR's built in the last 5 years or so are capable of recieving both NTSC and PAL signals. Oh, and that french one that's exactly the same as PAL but has a different name coz it's French! ;-) SECAM I beleive.
SECAM was also used in the eastblock, it got diffrent a colorsystem on a real PAL you only get black and white:-P
But why does UK television recieve the sound on a diffrent subcarrier frequency than all other european PAL systems, whos being difficult? :-P
No wonder the japanese got feed up and did multiformat-TVs.
