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.

With regards to hooking a PPC to a rael Amiga DD or Kbd... I'm sure I could if I had the time :-D

Just get one with USB-host. :-) The real problem is getting it to boot something else than WinCE :destroy:

C64DTV rocks, imagine if there was a A500DTV!
