HW: Huw DVD/PAL

[Michael Blackman]

Wow.  I didn't realise the television actualy gave a hoot whether it was
ntsc or pal playback.  I have a vid & a dvd machine that I play both ntsc &
pal on the same tele and its never been an issue.  The tv is nearly ten
years old.  Have also used the same set up on my moms ultra modern large
screen televisions (she has two) and its never been an issue either.

It was always my understanding that it was only an issue with the actual
players themselves.  But I will concede that it is very possible that I am
possibly wrong.
That is possibly a good possibility, yes....perhaps  8>)
