	Yes, there are tv's and vcr's available that support all three
systems(plus a voltage range of 110 - 240V). Sony has models for both.
I have also seen a Panasonic multi-system vcr.
Each should cost about $800-$1000 approx. I have come across
people from Asia/Europe staying temporarily for a couple of years in
North America buying these systems so that they can carry tapes from here
when they go back or vice versa.
