That's interesting as it comes up as a question often on UK groups. For
many years, UK VHS machines and TVs will replay NTSC tapes via a number of
'cludges' but of course don't allow that tape to be copied. For that you
need a standards convertor. But most say the reverse isn't the case in the
US - NTSC equipment can't play PAL tapes.
