I don't know much about this but ...

My friend has brought a television and a video with her from England
into Geneva, Switzerland. These are only capable of receiving the
British transmission standard: GB-I (PAL). Now in Geneva she would
like to be able to receive the Swiss and the French television (or at
least one of them). In Switzerland the standard is CCIR (PAL-SECAM)
and in France it is FR-L (SECAM).

The TV is a Toshiba 258T7B and the video is a Toshiba V-309B.

My question: Does there exists a commercial "plug-in-and-play"
converter box between these different signals.  What would be the best
for her to do?  Re-export the TV and the video?

Thanks in advance,
