Hi everyone. I'm a long time lurker and I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in with this topic.

I am currently stationed in Italy and bought an NTSC 110-only HDTV 1 year ago. Prior to that I had a multisystem tv (non-HD) that I used with my Sky Italia satellite service (PAL only). Along with the hdtv I also bought a Samsung multisystem vcr that also acts as a PAL to NTSC converter so I can keep my Sky Italia service. So basically my set up is as follows:

Sat receiver (via composite cable) -> Multisystem VCR (via composite cable) -> HDTV

Works like a charm.

My DVD player is NTSC so I don't have any experience converting PAL DVD player signal throught the VCR.

Hope that helps a little.
