PAL to NTSC

It is pleasing to see my 4 year old LCD TV being used at home in Mumbai. I find it bit hard to bear the sight of people throwing equipment without excellent reasons. This one was bought in NY 2006 and when I moved to Singapore, I figured it could be used with a TV tuner box (obviating a PCMCIA and a dedicated computer) which would convert anything to VGA through AV cables. This approach works - in case you happen to be a curious web surfer googling out conversion of PAL2NTSC. I was a little unsure how easy to use it might be to my parents and how durable the box might not turn out to be. But with Tata SKY it is very straightforward, and the box which you can get in any good hardware store has lasted well over an year now.
