Common question #37? Is there a cheap solution (less than replacement cost) to using a British TV in North America? Power supplies, video format, and (I'm told) soley UHF receivers would suggest otherwise in such a limited market but who knows... Please reply via e-mail, my .newsrc runeth over because of prolific groups like this. PS: Sorry if this is a repeat. Our newsreader is braindead (ANUnews) -Jeff scrutton@ac.dal.ca

There is no good way to do this and still retain color capability, at least nothing anywhere near as cheap as simply buying a U.S. set. You MAY be able to pick up U.S. broadcasts in black and white, although you'll likely have to readjust the "hold" and "centering" controls. Bob Myers KC0EW HP Graphics Tech.
