That's a good point. Equipment sold in Europe is more multi-standard
than US equipment. My sister bought a multi-standard VCR (capable of
recording as well as playing in both NTSC and PAL) before she left to
live in the US for a while, because she'd found that multi-standard
equipment is a lot harder to obtain over there. She wanted to be able
to watch tapes of her favourite programmes that we sent her from the
UK as well as to record US programmes.


There is a place near Chicago that specialises in multi-standard,
multi-country AV equipment. If she needs it, I can dig the name out.


This was a long time ago - late 90s. She and her family have been back in
the UK since about 2000. But thanks for the offer.
