NTSC and PAL are two types of color encoding. NTSC is used in North America while PAL is used in Europe. Most other countries around the world use one or other.
HD signals do not use PAL or NTSC color encoding and most televisions are capable of displaying HD content whether source in the US or Europe. However, many disc players and games consoles use region coding to prevent a disc bought in one region (USA for example) being played in another (UK for example). This is normally a function of the disc player or games console rather than the televsion.

Can you use old antena with converter box to get HD on your anolog tv?
For most people, their old antenna will work just fine. Don't let the people at the electronics store fool you, there is no such thing as an "HD antenna." There is nothing special that needs to be done to an antenna to receive HD signals. In fact, many of the antennas that are being marketed as "HD antennas" are inferior UHF-only antennas that receive a smaller set of signals than your old antenna. However, some people who were barely receiving an analog signal may need to buy a better antenna. Also, if the location of the digital transmitter has changed or the signal strength of the TV station has changed, you may need to re-aim or replace your old antenna. Simply plug the old antenna into the converter box and then plug the converter box into your old TV where the antenna used to go and you will be fine. The converter box will tune in a digital station (some digital stations are HD, some are not) and convert the digital signal into an old-fashioned analog standard definition signal and feed it into your old analog TV. You will not be able to watch shows in HD on your old analog TV, but you will be able to watch a version of the HD broadcast that has been converted into Standard Definition (SD) for you. You will be able to watch all of the digital stations including the HD ones but you will see them in Standard Definition. Standard Definition is 480i. Digital to Analog converter boxes receive all tv transmissions of 1080P , 1080i , 720P , 480P , 480i and coverts them ALL to 480i to watch on a standard definition NTSC Analog TV.

Does the pal Nintendo Wii work on a ntsc television?
No, an NTSC telelvision will not display PAL signals properly. However, many modern telelvisions are multi standard and will show either PAL or NTSC signals. In these cases, using a PAL DVD output, for example, will work but note that there are potential problems with broadcast signals. Far fewer telelvisions have tuners built in that will work in multiple countries, so even if you have a multi-standard telelvision, you also need to confirm that you have a tuner capable of receiving broadcast signals from other countries, if you are planning on watching broadcast television.

Can you use your 240v 50hz tv in the USA using a step up transformer and if you could will it be bad for the equipment?
The outlet isn't the only problem here.Before the DTV switchover there were three standards for televisions: NTSC, PAL and SECAM. NTSC was in the US and Korea, PAL in most of Europe, SECAM in France, Russia and the Middle East. Unless you had a multisystem TV, you couldn't watch American TV on a German TV set.Now there are six different standards. I don't know why. It still means you can't watch TV in the US on a European TV set.
