While there are three basic TV standards in the world, NTSC (Never
Twice the Same Color), PAL and SECAM, there are many variations on these
in different countries, and the total is about 12!

Many VCR's available in Europe  are multisystem. These are usually
made in Japan, where they are also available.  Ihave also seen them
in some New York stores.

I read that the new digital TV set have conversion programming
built in, which doesn't necessarily mean it will be accessible here.

It seems probable that the new high-definition TV standard will
be uniform around the world.
