Appreciate your help. Thanks&#33;<br /><br />- TVs from North America are all NTSC<br />- NTSC applies to both analog and digital video signals (60 Hz vertical)<br />- Voltage is not an issue (Most TVs are AC 100 - 240V, 50/60 Hz)<br />- TVs from Malaysia are multi system (PAL and NTSC)<br />- Astro output is PAL (50Hz vertical) for both analog(composite, s-video, component) and digital(HDMI)<br /><br />So, thats is my understanding, on to the questions.<br />1. If I want to watch Astro on my NTSC TV, I need a PAL to NTSC converter, correct?<br />2. Do you recommend the following converters found online? (noted there may be some quality loss)<br /> i) <a href='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062BS09O' target='_blank'>http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062BS09O</a> - USD 90 <br /> ii) <a href='http://www.focalprice.com/CX200B/LKV363_CompositeSVideo_to_HDMI_Converter_Black.html' target='_blank'>http://www.focalprice.com/CX200B/LKV363_Co...rter_Black.html</a> - USD 70 <br />3. Is there anywhere specific in lowyat/digital mall/jalan pasar I can buy a PAL to NTSC converter?<br />4. Are there any other options if I am unable to find a converter? HDMI receiver?
