    The US use a completely different TV system (NTSC) than here, so the simple and shoet answer is no, although there may be ways to make it work, you might as well buy a nice, new TV here for the price you would end up paying.

    not worth the effort to try and convert it anyways. expensive and a *lot* of hassle.

    Will be ntsc, probably no scart sockets. Different type of tuner and power requirements. Not worth the bother.
