Re: Will British TV's work in Canada?
Your "other way round" thing is not unusual for North American goods going to Europe. However, the overwhelming majority of Europe-market TVs (and almost certainly the OP's device, although with a model number I'm sure he could google it to be sure) sold in the last dozen years or so have been multi-format PAL/SECAM/NTSC, so will not throw a fit at being asked to display a 60Hz frame rate. Line frequency is irrelevant as the internal electronics will all work off a regulated DC supply anway. Bear in mind that frame rate is not, these days, necessarily the same as screen refresh. You can play 1080p/24, 1080p/25 or 1080p/30 movies on a screen with a 100 or 120Hz refresh, for example.
