Rolling Eyes Not sure if anyone out there can help with some advice.

I have a monitor that has NTSC & PAL capability. The TV Tuner that I have has been purchased from the US so it is NTSC, and has UHF & VHF.

Could anyone tell me if using the two components, I would be able to watch TV broadcasts in the UK using this equipment?
I know that the monitor has the capability...It is the tuner that I am not sure about. As it handles UHF & VHF, should it be able to pick up the UK broadcasts?
Are PAL & NTSC the display standards (I.e. only affect the conversion of the signal once it has been received by the tuner?).

I thought that the frequency (UHF VHF) was the most important factor if you had a monitor that had NTSC & PAL capability.

I would be very grateful for any advice and assistance that anyone out there can give me.

Many thanks,

Sandeep

I'm pretty sure that the differences between PAL and NTSC are both in frequency and in color palette. Might be out of luck.

You need a PAL tuner to receive PAL signals. NTSC and PAL are quite a bit different so don't expect to use your NTSC tuner in the UK because it won't work.

A new tuner shouldn't cost much.

Good luck,
