Most Modern UK TV's can already do this.........

I know very few cheap/mid priced TV's in North America that can decode PAL

We bought ours over and it works fine with our UK DVD player and we have cable plugged into it via the scart adaptor we had for our playstation...

works great

We brought 4 TV’s. 2 really old, plasma 5 year old and LCD 1 year old. All my audio and visual equipment still works here except one of my TV’s and Stereo. But if you go to www.voltageconverters.com they will sell you the step up & down converters. I bought 3 so I can use my power tools and that TV and stereo plus my kitchen electrical equipment. They are not big so are not an eye sore to have then tucked in the corner. The TV Signal is not a problem. If your TV’s have scart sockets on the back. I would bring those leads that have the scart at one end and the 3 sockets, yellow, red, white on the other end. that’s the way to connect the satellite box here or if you have an HDMI socket. You are ok anyway.

As for plugging them all in this is what I advice. Bring as many extension plug boards. The ones you can plug several items into. Then at the airport buy an plug adaptor for each extension, or wait till you get here and go to walmart and buy the Canadian plugs and change the extension plug for the Canadian one. Then you can plug all your normal TV’s DVD’s Games consoles etc into the plug boards then you just have one plug in the wall socket. Easy.

hi we brought our small flat screen tv here from the uk...just changed the plug and it works a treat...tied us over till we got our 50" plasma
