My TV problem is called PAL. Still have quite few movies in that system and the TV (and VCR and DVD) has to be able to play it. It cuts the options down to very limited sources. DVD is somewhat doable, since the disc can be replicated on a PC to make it NTSC compatible, but the tapes are better left the way they are.
But I somewhat enjoy myself in a store with annoying sales people. In a store I don't like to be bothered and when they ask me if I need some help, I just reply:
"Yes, I like this model - but is it gonna play PAL?"
Typically they have no clue what I am talking about
