portable TV

i have this portable TV and its TV colour system is NTSC
Singapore's TV colour system is PAL, so does that mean that my portable TV cannot be used in Singapore because of the differences in TV colour system ?

There is 2 types - Pal 50 & Pal 60 .
Pal 60 is also known as NTSC 433. If the local tv station broadcast in Pal 60 , then u can receive it on y portable tv since its NTSC. But if they ar enot , u can still receive but there will be no colours
PAL Xbox's have the option to enable PAL-60 ( NTSC 433) which enable the to play NTSC DVD games.
Cheers.

so that means my portable TV should be able to detect Singapore's TV station, just that whether it is broadcast in PAL 60 (which i will get colours) or PAL 50 (which i will get no colours) ??? -

Why dont u try out yr portable tv to find out. Most tvs made in the last 20 years can receive pal, NTSC and secam unless yours is manufactured in some cheap factory in China. check the manual to see if there is an NTSC 433 or Pal 60 listed as supported standard. And there is no way that ti know of to find out if singapore tv is broadcasting in pal 60 . We only know its pal standard.
NTSC is normally only used at 60Hz and Pal at 50Hz. One of the techniques used by multi-standard equipment is to take NTSC material and transcode the signal into PAL. The frame rate stays the same and the conversion from NTSC to PAL is relatively simple to do. The output is a PAL signal at 60Hz, known as PAL 60. Once the signal is output from the sender, it then relies on the tv being able to operate at 60Hz. u may or not receive a picture with colours, without colours or bleeding inconsistent picture depending on the tv circuitry .....applies to both analog and digital tv.
Today, the majority of equipment is capable of operating in both PAL and NTSC at 50 or 60Hz so the PAL 60 technique is rarely used. -

he must be a funny person. people who travel around to different countries have a laptop and and one of those tv tuner cards which can receive tv in any country...these is more wiser as u get a computer + tv viewing on the go. When i was overseas i use my laptop with car charger to watch tv inside my car. Can receive both analog and HDTV perfectly. sweet.
