DTV Pal (also marketed under the model name TR-40) by Dish Network.
Means nothing to me. Why are you using PAL in the USA ?

Not PAL as in the video standard but Pal as in that's what the set-top box
is called. Kind of like VCR meant any format (VHS or Beta) Video Casette
Recorder in the US and not a specific format of Video Casette Recorder or
Video.


How deliberately confusing is that ?

PAL = Phase Alternate Line.

NTSC = never twice the same colour.
