Will new UK LCD TV work in Aus?
Hi all,
I believe our UK Sony LCD TV won't work in Australia - is that true and any ideas how to "fix" it? My OH was adamant it would be fine there as it's a new model, but the immigration book we bought says otherwise.
Thanks in advance

The PAL signals are different, england is Pal I and Oz is Pal B/G.
However if you are going to have Austar or Foxtel it will be ok, otherwise if you use freeview you will have no sound so get a set top box.
All of my TVs are panasonic and work with a STB.
